The way Oncle Bapius explained how Zaiko split made me conclude that Isifi Lokole was in reality the continuation of Zaiko Langa Langa, them just renaming it and the band of DV Muanda, Manuaku, Bimi Ombale, Nyoka Longo, Oncle Bapius and Mbuta Mashakado just a new band.

The way Papa Wemba fired DV Muanda made me realize that it was because of the public and the rumors that DV Muanda gained the power he had. Because if he had truly been as mysterious as everyone claims, then Wemba, Evoloko, and the others would have feared him and would never have dared to fire him. Not saying that what Evoloko and co witnessed in Isifi was fake. Back at that time all bands were collaboration with known witchdoctors in Masina, Kimbanseke, N'djili and Kisenso, which was seen as normal. Shimita for example, revealed how influent fans of Zaiko contacted late Awulu-Wala to do attacks on Pepe Felly Manuaku and Grand Zaiko Wawa to fail. But history and the public blamed everything on DV Muanda
