Pepe Kalle sang pretty well at this concert. But the original version of Dadou was way better than the other versions in my opinion.

People prefer the last version, because he sung it in Tshiluba and paid tribute to the Luba-culture.

You are right about that. Many people love the mutuashi version more. It seems like the third version (1986) was way more popular than the original version and the other versions.
Which version of Dadou you think was better in your view?
Here are the versions of Dadou
