I don't like the way he started the introduction of this interview. Why he decided to be a journalist if he start an introduction like that.

Ado Yuhe didn't do his research well, I think that he just calls randomly people instead of looking on internet, using books and contacting old musicians. Because I thought that Exil came out after the split, while they first recorded the famous Jetez l'Eponge-album before "Ici ca va" which had the song Exil in it.

The story how he used to live for 2 years in Brussels, not eating for 2 days, once just having 2 euro's and him crying after it made me really sad. I noticed that those who sacrifice themselves alot in bands, always suffer the most, never get something back in return by their bandleaders and always get dumped.I really wonder what Nyoka Longo had done with all the money he gained since the 80s.

Yeah the beginning part pissed me tf off. Why put the sad music over him crying and then zooming in on his face. Ado needs to be taught a lesson one day and put in his place.

I met Adamo a few years ago at my uncles 60th birthday party in liege he performed there along with Alain Mpela and a few others.

The hell, why he started the interview with him crying? Ado Yuhe doesn't have to get mad at JF Ifonge when he calls him out on his bullshit if he behaves like that, why doesn't he ask Koffi questions about his domestic incident with dancers and so on if he is so brave to put people who cry at the top

TBH bro that is life, love and friendships the more you sacrifice with everything in life the less you get in return the only way that sacrifices work if it is you are sacrificing your time for having money and wealth in the future for yourself.

Check Ali Mbonda for example how many times he has been kind and benevolent to Werra? Just to be treated as a dirt bag when he was sick and many other incidents, Alvarito as well, he worked so much for Fally contributing to his success, to be what now?: And the Prince case is Prince almost died by being stabbed by Zulu Jack's sent by Kakol to be broke, divorced and not having a dime when his mom died by Wenge, if you wanna be good in life sacrifice for yourself only being so lenient to people is useless

Lol, so for you to can't have fame without doing witchcraft. Adamo isn't one of the co-founders or early members of Zaiko. He used to be in Grand Zaiko Wawa of Pepe Felly Manuaku before joining Zaiko Langa Langa and was already famous there. Back in those time you could get fame by just appearing in Tele Zaire, because from 1966 to 1990 (called RTNC from 1966 to 1971 before re-become again 1997) Tele Zaire was the only tv-channel in Congo/Zaire. A true mwana Kin can often easily detact when someone has nkisi or , because they grew up by seeing scenes of people having lost their head after going to Livulu, Makala, Malueka, Kimbanseke and Bas Zaire, bandleaders going to x or y witchdoctor who lives in Ngiri-Ngiri, Masina, Ndjili, Lingwala (everybody seeing him), afterwards changing his behaviour and suddenly being arrogant, taking alot, etc. Those rich businesswomen going to Benin, Togo or Nigeria who occult reasons to make their business grow. Also back in the 70s and 80s you hadnt alot of pastors like the way it started to grow extremely from the late 80/early 90s and witchdoctors promoting themselves on the street and markets. If a bandleader does witchcraft for his band, it doesn't mean that all bandmembers are involved or that he would come to the rehearshal like "hey my employees I use nkisi, look to it".

What Adamo said about the cri nsunsu ikokele is true. In the Jetez l'Eponge album and concerts after the split of 1988, Nono and Doudou used to animate "Eh nsunsu ikokele, eh ba tembo balembukidi" which means in Kikongo the rooster crows and the witches running away, which was a shot towards Ilo Pablo, Bimi Ombale, Lengi Lenga and co who left to form Zaiko Familia Dei and who they were calling witches. But 10 years later, with the raise of pentecost-churches pastors went to the advantage of many people not understanding Kikongo and not listening to the text very well, claiming that Zaiko used to animate "eh nsunsu ikokele, eh ba demons balaukidi" which means the roosters crows and the demons wake up. The fact that Zaiko wasn't suing them or replying to those allegations made people confirm it, while it isn't true. Or for example the "Tuku landa Daniel eeh" in 7x77, pastors claiming that it was a demon standing at the door of Zaiko's rehearshalplace, while it was actually guitar-player Daniel Muyumbo (aka'Daniel 6000). About cimetier Kintambo, naming don't know that it's actually a cri that Nono took from Swede-Swede de Kintambo and modifying on his own manner. The way Ekokota took from Swede-Swede de Kintambo the cri "dans 5 minutes plein oooh" in Promesse Bouboule and other songs of the Anges Adorables-album (which Chiga Chiga always used to scream in the start of concerts and the hall ending up by being packed even if it was huge mpiaka).

I have never said that read my words well.
I simply said that to me is weird that someone knows that Bercy, Ambulance etc. do witchcraft without knowing them directly, like he was saying "Bana ya lelo batondi naba Nkisi" like how? How did he knew it, and yes maybe someone who is born in Kin knows better but not every crazy person is a nganga or a sorcier follower.

I don't believe that to make success in music you need to do withccraft, it is a ridiculous idea and stupid claim success is given by hard work and marketing if witchcraft would be so effective Fally would have  1 Bilion views and Werra and other Congolese artists wouldn't need money and expensive gifts by donors
