Dituala explaining how Choc Stars disbanded and even an idea being there to fire Ben Nyamambo. Also how late Ben had financial difficulties which led to their upcoming tour of 1991, not taking place anymore and them being stuck in Kinshasa with them going towards a decline.

Looks like Ditutala confused Debaba with Bozi, when talking towards the end how many artists such as Carlyto Lassa and Djanana decided to stay in Europe.

Carlito confirms Ditutala’s version.

I just finished watching Carlyto's interview. It's a shame how Choc Stars ended. They were like a dream team after their rebirth in 1986, following Bozi's departure. You’d think they would’ve stayed at the top for at least 10 years.

There was a moment when Carlyto talked about Joly Mubiala's integration into Choc Stars and how people were against it, when talking about the trip to Europe that followed, Thierry Kabundi cut Carlyto off and Carlyto himself forgot to finish the point about Joly and the trip. Many people forget that Joly Mubiala was part of Choc Stars for a short time, after leaving Victoria Eleison

When Carlyto spoke about the internal issues within the band, it felt like he was referring more to Defao than Debaba, because Defao was the one making the most TV appearances and releasing a lot of nzong-nzing albums at that time.
