2) Adolfo Makuntima Makwiza (aka Ado and Ado Makuntima) contributed to the African music scene in Toronto for over ten years. In fact, he was the first African-Canadian to found an African musical group there. Although he admitted that it's challenging to live as an artist in Canada, he had won support across the country, mostly from African music lovers seeking another opportunity to put on their dancing shoes.
Despite social, political and economic difficulties in the Democratic Republic of Congo, dance and celebration are central to emotional expression. Thus, it comes as no surprise that Ado knew how to enjoy life and that his music is a reflection of it. The hip-swinging rhythms and electrifying guitar of African rumba and Soukous define his classic Congolese style.
He died on Dec 29th, 2017 of a heart attack.

The song "千本桜" by Ado is a powerful and energetic track that touches upon a wide range of themes including revolution, war, and the struggle for hope amidst darkness. The lyrics begin with a bold call for revolution, with the first line "大胆不敵にハイカラ革命" (a bold and daring revolution) setting the tone for what follows. The next few lines reference war and the image of a two-wheeled vehicle with the Japanese flag on it, likely representing a military vehicle. The lyrics then shift to the idea of wandering and being unstoppable, with the singer being a young warrior in a tumultuous era.
The titular "千本桜" (senbonzakura) refers to the thousands of cherry blossom trees native to Japan, but the song presents a darker interpretation of the flowers, with them being described as a source of confusion and disorientation in the night. The imagery of a party held in a steel cage, from which the singer looks down on a beheading platform, adds to the ominous undertones of the piece. Despite the bleakness of the imagery, the song eventually ends on a hopeful note, with calls for shooting "flash-bombs of hope" and a belief that a happy ending will come amidst applause.
Overall, "千本桜" is a complex and multifaceted song that showcases Ado's lyrical prowess and range.
