elite guitarist,did a tremendous work for decades i believe his most recent works are with guys like fally,fila basele and guys like that
i  can see koffi giving him a tribute since he is one of the "fathers" of tchatcho even though koffi does not like to share paternity of tchatcho with anybody

Koffi acknowledges Rigo Star is responsible for his career. From when Koffi was in Viva La Musica

Samba Samba, Anibo

In Paris, Koffi and Rigo worked together on
Ngobila, Rue D'Amour, Tcha Tcho du Sorcier, Elle et Moi, Mbalula

Rigo Star's style was very fast with melodies! Melodies you looked forward to listening too
