Interesting. First time am seeing him, he looks like R Kelly dressed like that. ;D
Finally the issue of the song Mulolo is closed, for those that don't understand lingala, he's confirmed that JB Mpiana composed the song Mulolo and not anyone else. ;)

kie kie i am happy to see that i was not the only one who noticed
he looks quite young( more of the alain mpela age) whereas adolphe,makaba already have loads of grey hair and looking older in general or maybe its the contrary effect to wazekwa (who looks younger without his glasses)

Yeah, he really looks like Kells. :D
I think he's just got swag like JB Mpiana otherwise he must be same age as JB even though his face is not shown properly, no wonder most guys conducting interviews usually ask that the person they are interviewing takes off his/her glasses ''to prove to the fans that it's indeed'' the person they know.

One other point he's reminded us about is why they started calling JB as ''Mukulu'' as he had come with a vision to move the band from just being mere street performers to be a proper band. He suggested they fuse in King Kester's style of arrangement and it worked so here clearly we see that Wenge took Kester's style and changed it and managed to break Zaiko Langa Langa into pieces so it's not Zaiko they modelled their band on.

From 25 th minute he explains the birth of Wenge with him,Werra,Masela,Christian Citu on rhythm,Aimé Bwanga,Werra's cousin Machiro kifaya and that one day they were rehearsing in streets in front of Masela's house,JB was walking in the street and when he heard them playing Victoria Eleison's songs he stopped  and asked if he could sing with them and  Machiro kifaya who was their tenorist could not reproduce some parts of Victoria's tenorists which JB did effortlessly and they were impressed and from then he joined them.
