Your analysis is interesting, but lacks logical basis. Music is art and art is open to interpretation. If King Kino chooses to express politics in konpa then that is is right as an artist. I personally appreciate a little diversity in konpa. Aren't yopu tired of the same old loving you, I'm sorry babby, please come back music. There are rappers who express there discontent with President Bush's policies all the time, is it for you or I to say, it has no place in Konpa??? Bob Marley, was made famous for his conciousness. As a matter of fact he popularized reggae internationally, with his consciousness.
If you were at SOB's you would have seen the revival of konpa direct. OPEN YOUR MIND. We need to progress as a people and one of the things that need to be done is for to acknowledge our problems, and learn to deal with them.
I never liked Kino. However, I'll tell anyone this. If Kino had the backing of any real producer, He would take konpa to a different dimension. He is the only artist from the generation so called new that puts konpa in the most decent clubs of NYC. Although Zin is a much better band than Phantoms ever was, as far as melody and harmony, Kino has presence, charisma. But sorry King, politics and precisely konpa (generally categorized as a dance hall form) don't mix at all. If it was a music that is politically inclined (like racine), peolple would understand. Konpa is for simply pleasure. It is really for peolple who seeks one another as sexual prays. Basically you divided your fans when you take side in politics the people that could never stand the side you sided with simply leave you. You are still a better entertainer than Alan, all the kino wannabes (djakout, mass konpa etc.) but you need to only do one thing "mizik". I for one never like your group phantoms anyway. there was no effort to the music. Imagine you have a band like (nulook or zenglen) ain't no stopping you.
