A few days ago Mbuta Likasu did an interview with former Victoria Eleison guitarist Ade Lokela and he talked about his music-career, also his moments in Brazzaville and explained that he once tried to join Wenge El Paris and started to work with Burkina Faso before doing his test. But Depitcho didn't like him and went to stood on his toes, while he whore sandars with a djellaba. Ade Lokela revealed that after he quit El Paris' headquarter angry, he got approached by Guy Kimvula, who was back then a staffmember of Wenge El Paris. Guy Kimvula said to he him, that with the way he looks, he could join Victoria Eleison one day.

Then last week I went to watch some clips of the Couvre-Feu album and when watching the clip of the generique, I noticed that the guy who was arrested, looked at bit like Guy Kimvula, especially when he smiled a bit before receiving "chicotte". So I was wondering if it was him. Also later on when, I started watching the clip of La Reine du Royaume, I heard Marie Paul during the sebene at some point giving a shout-out to him.

But I was a bit convinced because how could he work with Victoria Eleison DTDB and at the same time with Wenge El Paris ? Because if you look to Guy Kimvula's interview with Ado Yuhe of a 4 years ago, he explained that he was among the guys that recruited the musicians of Victoria Eleison DTDB in 1997 and that he was member of fanclub called King Boys which was founded by Serge Makobo. But how could he later still appear in El Paris' videoclip ?
Going back the Couvre-Feu clip, the way Guy Kimvula received "chicotte" made me think about Marie Paul's interview with Zacharie Bababaswe after Wenge's split saying "Soki bakangi yo na kanda wana obombamaki, oko zwa ba chicotte".
