He has just restarted working on his album after months of serious sickness,in his album there is a feat with papa wemba and another he wants to be a surprise but which is a remix of his song mama mabe(the guest is ferré)
he talks about his last album which helped him have concerts in america aswell and says he has participated in a big salsa hit with latino american singers
he is asked about jb and werra on stage together he said its great to see it and it will take decades to have again such a strong rivalry in congolese music
 he is asked again about whether he slept with ma mpata,he says respect to hear first its false and some people in maison mere who wanted him out lied to werra but now its the past when he meets werra  they talk and he was even meant to be on stage with maison mere at failed kester tribute in kikwit,there is no problem with him
he adds that he does not understand why he is still asked about it  11 years after leaving
 and about whether he can give werra and advice,he says its not the smartest thing to do it on tv first because in african culture  young men do not have the right to give advice to older guys, and also given how maison mere fans are because he is sure there are some of them who are already insulting him just by seeing his face,even before listening to what he says,but it has happened that when he met werra he told him to give more chance to shine to some musicians of current maison mere(maison mere of the last years)
he is asked to compare maison mere of  ferre him and co to the current one he says no disrespect but there are miles above because they have a huge task of replacing mpiano jb,aimelia,blaise bula and co and they did it very well,also they were like werra's young brothers whereas now its more of werra maintaining his image and young guys coming to get fame and earn a living
he says nowadays there are many concerts but rarely big shows and refers to their bercy,palais des sports,double zenith and jb's olympia for example,and says the difference between concerts and big shows is that in big shows there is something very particular which gives you memories for ever,and that for now he has concerts one day he will have big shows and he is ready for it now he has recovered
he has good relationship with  all musiciains and sometimes sees the likes of fally and fabregas who live not to far to him and when asked about the generation of younger musicians going solo or in groups he says he does not want to single out somebody all do their job well and good luck to them he is then asked about heritier going solo he says good luck to him, he must not what to say and what to avoid saying on tv,and be well surrounded and everything will go well
for his album he is looking for a producer since his producer lando batibuka died but he reveals producer just has to do the final steps to release since he had funded all album on his own and late lando just had a couple of things at the end and release but he passed away
so he got more demand for songs and has added them and is about to finish since he is rehearsing with papa wemba for their feat

Archos,

Is this the same producer that was supposed to release Pepe Ndombe's record? I would hope that who ever Baby chooses, he'll shine a light on his late father's album as well.

Looks like Baby Ndombe is trying to get his PR image together after it seems like his image has dropped.
