Maybe it's because he stuck to proper traditional music. He was quite popular and a crowd puller and when you listen to his music it's the one the Werrasons and Lacoste's of this world are copying for their generiques, I wouldn't be surprised to hear that atalukus Lobeso and Blaise came from Mabele Elisi's band.

none of them played with him but him and  lobeso are from the same village/region, like the mpela family,like fally,like boguys(hence the way boguys played his generique)
and many artists have interpreted his parts in modern music ( ba tcholilo of alain mpela in rdc for example,asomba tuku-tuku in abracadabra and so on)
and yes spot on blaise was with him before being with reddy and lacoste later,but he is a muluba
