he reveals that when he came to europe in 1985 he was already writing a bit and at university his late friend raoul ndongala came with two guitars and asked him which one he wants the new or the clearly old and he said the old fearing that if he said the new his friend would say he was just joking, and until today he's bought loads of instruments but has never found again that type of sound
and what he was doing is that he'd put two cassettes in his radio then sing and play guitar two different ways on each cassette to make it sound like he played solo and rhytm at the same time*
and raoul was always wanting him to bring new songs on cassettes whenever they meet and once when he went to see him in belgium he was told that papa wemba was performing with koffi at madeleine hall so he went but being a fan of papa wemba already he secretly had the dream of approaching papa wemba to tell him he writes song and he'd like him to listen to his work and see if they can collaborate and when he went towards papa wemba's locker room after concert it was full and he could not approach him,and at the same time koffi was alone in his locker so he approached koffi and told him he writes song and if he is interested he can make him listen to his cassettes koffi said no problem tomorrow come at my hotel and its what happened and koffi asked before even talking about cassettes if he could sing a little bit for him and he did it he does not remember exactly which song it is but koffi loved the lyrics and koffi asked if he plays guitar because he sings like somebody who already knows how to sing with guitar and they were wondering how they could meet again once back in paris and he said to koffi dont worry take the cassette and koffi gave him his phone number and from then he started going to koffi's house and they developped many songs together while playing together,either his ones or koffi's were he'd add ideas or a melody here and there(in private wazekwa jokes about it today that luckily they were playing guitars for hours bare-chested like that whe they were in late 20's early 30's if it was in 2000's they'd look ridiculous with the big bellies they had
