Its like he mixed Bongo Wende's style with that of Baroza Bansimba


I excepted a lot from him when he joined Wenge Tonya Tonya after leaving Empire Fondation. But it was like they forced him to play differently from his original style. Its sad that he dissapeard after leaving Wenge Tonya Tonya. Where's he nowadays. Does he live in Belgium like most former Tonya Tonya musicians ?

Laurent Kadogo came to replace Papillion?

Papillion played with delta force or no ?

Looks like Empire Bakuba had a lot of Soloists

Papillion and Lofombo weren't going along together anymore just before Pepe Kalle's death. Papillion was in Empire Bakuba until Pepe Kalle's death. He remained in Empire Bakuba when Djuna Mumbafu, Gode Lofombe and Dokolos decided to form Delta Force with the new recruited singers after that reconcilation with Dilu Dilumona and the rest of Empire Bakuba didn't work. Then when most of the musicians turned against Papy Tex (not being happy the way weren't turning well), he decided to follow Kinanga Boeing 737 who formed Fondation Empire. Papillion didn't stay long there, he would join Wenge Tonya Tonya like Shella Mputu when it got formed. 

Laurent Kadogo is Lofombo's childfriend from Bumbu. They have started music together. I'm sure if he really joined Empire Bakuba. Because back than he was doing alot of session work at Ndiaye. He was part of Big Stars and made a return there in the same period but other guitarists didn't like him which made him not stay there long although participating in Sala Noki. In Cocktail he participated as mi-solist, having the role to play between the rhythm-guitar and lead-guitar. He followed Gode Lofombo in Delta Force and became n2 of the band after Djuna Mumbafu's departure.

In the 90s, Empire Bakuna had Kinanga Boeing 737, Papillion Mateta and Doris Ebuya as solists (not mentioning those who spent a short time there).
