Paris-based Congolese singer Balou Canta said Papa Noel's French widow had been very been supportive of the funeral arrangements.
Born Antoine Nedule Monswet, Papa Noel is fondly remembered for the Tangawisi hit song among others that he composed.
Veteran Congolese musician Papa Noel Nedule will finally be laid to rest on Monday, March 10, in Kinshasa, DR Congo.
This is contrary to earlier reports that he would have been interred on Saturday, March 8. This was after last-minute changes, including having him buried at the old Gombe cemetery and not Necropeles Cemetery, as had earlier been announced.
