Mourning Ivorian fans were performing an all-night musical tribute to honour legendary Congolese rumba star Papa Wemba, who died after collapsing on stage during a festival in Abidjan this week. Ivorian Prime Minister Daniel Kablan Duncan and Papa Wemba's widow were among the high-profile mourners who began the evening's ceremonies by paying their respects in front of the artist's white coffin at a funeral parlour in Abidjan. The singer's body is to be repatriated to the Democratic Republic of Congo on Thursday.
