I used to hate Rossen, but I liked Kassoul as Soleil copycat. The name he used to have (Kasumbalesa) was already killing me and his vocal in Mogomboro where he used imitating the way a man was stuttering when trying to flirt with a girl. The only vocal I didn't like was in Sambela and Nzambe Mokonzi, where I felt like he was playing with God for the way he was singing. I was afraid that he would disappear quickly for the way of not having his own identity. But he surprised me in 242 where he started to sing differently and more in Vision, although not being a fan of the album. It's a huge lose for Nouvel Horizon and also for Congolese music. He had alot to offer. Rest in Peace

Rest in Peacelol i can imagine you wanting to turn tv off when rossen was singing "kumisa mokonzi na yo ye moto akela yo,le maitre de la creation ouh seigneuurrrr yeeeee nkolo ehhhh hein" or the first vocal,thinking about it the old system was good many musicians of those generations were having a vocal in first and second part of the song now,you can find yourself with one vocal only on the whole 30 songs album as a band memberthinking about it in nzambe mokonzi he was not as crazy as in other vocals,maybe because he was interpreting regis touba's vocal and not his own
funerals have started at the family house of kassoulhere his longterm friends before the extra musica's dodi le talent and dido senga pay tribute to him dido remembering their arrival when some of the big names of clan extra were still around(hermann regis arafat) and the long way they've had together and he regreted premature loss of his friend,who for him had plenty to offerdodi remembers how he went to seek advice from him before joining extra musica zangul and how he ended up joining them few times after then later creating nouvel horizon and how he used to argue with him a lot about choreographies my thoughts to all his younger brothers and sisters(since he was the oldest of the family) and to his mother sylvie bossongo who he gave several shoutouts to in vision
