Video footage broadcast live on television showed the dramatic moment that Papa Wemba — wearing a bold black and white patterned tunic and oversized bowler hat — slumped to the floor behind a group of dancers, before performers rushed to his aid.

Take a look at his final moments alive . . .

The Urban Musical Festival Anoumabo (FEMUA) in Abdijan, Ivory Coast, where Papa Wemba would perform, was largely advertised. Here, children look at a billboard announcing the event

 

“Papa Wemba wanted to die on stage, that’s what he told me two weeks ago when I spoke to him on the phone,” said festival promoter and singer Salif Traore, known as A’Salfo. Here, the stage is being set for the concert

The festival was held just over a month after the Islamist attack on the beach resort of Grand-Bassam on March 13 that left 19 people dead

 

Papa Wemba was born Jules Shungu Wembadio Pene Kikumba in June 1949 in what was then Belgian Congo, now the Democratic Republic of Congo

 

A father-of-six, Papa Wemba was also known as the driving spirit behind a cult movement known as “Sapeurs” whose members — young men — spend huge amounts of money on designer clothes
