I think it is just autocratic mid-70s drug addled band leader thing.
This transports me at the CIA cafeteria in 1975. Not that I've ever been

did lol at this:

(like most things these days) ridiculously over-rated by folks who don't really know much about what does or does not suck.

serious take: 1st congotronics album is actually pretty underrated at this point

the state is bad (Left), Saturday, 1 August 2020 12:36 (three years ago) link

Both good albums. More interesting takeaway: the idea of "affording" an album has become outdated in less than a decade.

Yeh, the Konono live tour in summer of 2006 was unbelievable, won free tickets to see them in Cleveland, and it was just an enormous hours-long party.
