Koffi Olomide had collaborated with Beniko Popolipo and Rigo Star during the 1980s and 1990s. Of course, Beniko would become a Quartier Latin member during the mid and late 1990s at personal request of Koffi. But I want to pose this question at everyone. Please come on and give your response. Who was better for Koffi Olomide? For me, I would say Rigo Star. Rigo was a perfect fit for Koffi's tcha tcho music. I love Beniko but he was a Zaiko type. Rigo Star was the man for Koffi's lovely tcha tcho music.
Here is Koffi Olomide's Papa Bonheur with Beniko on lead

Listen to this Rigo Star song with Koffi Olomide singing. I love the rock guitar from Rigo Star. This shows why Rigo was a more perfect fit for Koffi Olomide. Koffi Olomide sang English very well.
