(Paris) Recent immigrants from the Congo weren’t happy to see Congolese singer Heritier Watanabe playing at the Paris' Olympia music hall. Claiming he represented the Congolese Government, they decided to express their displeasure not by boycotting his show but by rioting on the streets of Paris.
In response, the Olympia’s management asked for the concert to be cancelled due to receiving letters, e-mails and telephone calls threatening "a new Bataclan". Armed with this information, the French authorities banned the concert.
