Man what happened to F’Victeam? That project was the best Fally had. That was the right formula.

Fally simply doesn't care about having a string group, him alone is enough, tbh I don't know why he keeps all those people around when he clearly doesn't care take for example someone like Papy Komvo who enterwd late in Fally's groupin his 30s which is usually when you either become a big star after years of trying but falling (Burna Boy) or when you already were succesf  in your teens and  you reach your peak (Beyonce, Kendrick Lamar, Drake Kanye West etc.) To then leave at 51 which is almost an automatic suicide cause you are 51 so naturally young women won't even look at your direction and with guys of your age busy with other things and guys younger then you focus on other artist,  tbh I don't see any scope in keeping this group

True, Fally makes music for a hobby and his group is just an accompaniment. He proved himself in Quartier Latin, he confirmed his success as a solo artist, he proved himself as a crossover talent (his features on afrobeats and Sweet Life) and he managed a decent group with Libre Parcours – that hunger isn't there.

All of the important questions about his career has been answered, the music fuels his business and the rest is for his pleasure. The same with Ferre , although I feel like Ferre puts a bit more effort.

I gotta disagree with you there bro, guys like Jb, Bill, Adolphe, Celeo etc treat music more like a hobby whilst Fally, Ferre, Koffi treat it like a job because they stay consistant. He lost the hunger he had a bit a few years ago but he definitely got it back for Formule 7 and the 3 Arena concerts he did. Libres Parcours was a good album but F’Victeam failed at promoting themselves so Fally just stopped caring that much.

Man what happened to F’Victeam? That project was the best Fally had. That was the right formula.

In short he is talking about his"uncle" the best friend of his dad djouna mumbafu and that all that generation of  OG atalakus passed through percussions first(mbonda,lokole,ngongi and co) and all are very strong at it and that ekokota was the one who remained from their group and he joined wenge through his late uncle elpaso who was wenge's drummer
he had a loooooooot of praise for yaya londa djouna's older brother saying that he was an exceptional singer and that he was very influential on pepe kalle and madilu's techniques of singing over the years he was their underground coach
he said that his grandfather and ferre's dad were workmates and close friends and actually missed out on joining ok jazz because of their women of then coming to cause trouble out of jealousy and that they ended up being franco's shadow writers
he talked about how gifted was his own family starting with his older uncle osée mavuzi who wrote a lot for madilu and pepe kalle and was fofo le collegien's close friend but chose to go to army
then about his younger uncle levieux mavuzi saying he is the creator of ndombolo which surprised mbuta and reveals that that name comes from a spiritual book ndombo olo  or something like that which his great grandmother was praying with and levieux who was her favorite grandchildren was often learning a lot of things
he explained that both the animation and the dance started from him and that the kibinda nkoy dance was the roots of ndombolo dance he inspired himself from judo guys and their moves then the monkey dance and (the variations then developped in wenge by bouro seguin and late souzy versace) and that he had originally given it to radja kula and station japan in order to change their style of dance which was rarely about waist but more often about physical choreography but japonais took it to wenge musica,same with yungana which were levieux animation and dance only
levieux was also somono's friend and main provider  throughout his career and he said his uncle levieux is very demanding he can come to a group when called upon and literally decide who will play what and which atalaku should do it
he only rates atalakus who can match ngongi rhythm well which are guys like genta who was trained  in the junior section bana odeon and arumbaya groups which raised late nono,bebe atalaku ditutala djouna ekokota  so he has it natural
and he gives example of some atalakus who had to adapt to be able to do levieux' work,giving the examples of bill who had to be coached by thierry synthé to make that crucial transformation which turned him into the guy who traumatized for ever a lot of congolese people,or the example of brigade and kerozene  who he had actually did not want koffi to use for his creations and he did not rate them until brigade learned the right ngongi tempo and became who he became later on to beautifully reproduce his work
he also gave example of bercy who had to learne it which shaped his most recent form of animation which he started from fleche ingeta(you'll notice that ngongi is HEAVY on that generique probably the loudest ngongi has ever been on a maison mere generique)
he then emphasized on levieux collaboration with jb  talking about the fact that him and jb had fallen out at some point because he was not received the money he had to receive for his work on th and internet  and when werra did tindika lokito jb was on immense pressure to counter from the primus admins and what he was coming with from his atalakus was not convincing the primus guys  so jb contacted levieux via his elder brother mosaka  but levieux being a strong character refused and what ended up convincing him is mosaka  telling their mother who was in terminal stage of illness that his job was in jeopardy if levieux who had the responsability of paying insulin for her every month refused to come and do the job  and she convinced him
so he came with pelisa nguasuma from start to finish  and kindingu fimbu ya mukolo is not a stick or a belt or whatever like that like the name suggests as to say its a big slap towards the rivals,but rather it was some sort of weed he had smoked that day to attract inspiration which he named like that and he primus guys were so happy that they wanted to reward him with a house knowing that they had then got what would counter tindika lokito but he never received that house papers from jb(jb used it to try to get madam back home according to the inside story i had heard years ago)
and he was upset with jb again,because he had grown up and the gifts were not enough anymore as he had grown then when werra switched to primus he did changement de frequence generique and even though it was not that much of a success compared to tindika lokito and they style were not liking the generique proposed by genta which was of genta's old identity of faster more impro-oriented animation so the primus guys asked if they could call that guy who came with pelisa nguasuma and jb then had to convince levieux again who had that roots zaiko like style of generique which primus guys like and he came and literally created the generique in front of them and then  went to studio with them to decided who would do what and how to make it have the result he wanted
and his most recent collaboration with jb is zebuka
he wonders why his friend heritier does not work with levieux to sort forever his generiques issues and that ambulance would fit the ngongi style that levieux builds his generiques on since ambulance was trained by djouna mumbafu  and also why fally does not use levieux for his generiques because he already copied levieux on his style of dancing,and that a lot of people dont know it but fally is carbon copy of levieux' dancing and that fally is from kintambo with one house between theirs and the one of fally's mother its later that he moved to bandal and heritier is the reverse born and raised in bandal next to his friend cambodge then came to kintambo
levieux also worked with ferre on his primus generiques and he witness himself how ferre took time to master levieux' choreography of the second one with that siki koko dance and its probably in the collaboration with ferre that he received the better reward among leaders(apart from the fact genta bought him a car)
