Untitled[edit]

"But that was just a low time, like some others, in Papa Wemba flamboyant, rocky and creative life. And after every low moment, countless musicians defections and big challenges in his long musical career, Jules Shungu Wembadio alias Papa Wemba has always rebounded."

This sentence isn't very informative and belongs stylistically somewhere else. It also seems to trivialise the horrible crime Papa Wemba was involved in, suggesting that all that matters about it is the effect it has had on his career. I think people who have been victims of human trafficking might find this quite offensive, which is why I've deleted it. Ireneshusband 16:06, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The allmusic.com page on Papa Wemba says he was born in 1953, while this article says 1949. Anyone have a credible source for birth date? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Magnificat (talk • contribs) 03:29, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
