Ex’ Big Stars atalaku Pecos talking about his past in Royaume Lifaki (the band of Serge Liaki, Strelly Mikobi, Prince Bella, Bouro Mpela and co), Retrouva Kawiriko, how he joined Golden Tchatcho of Duc Herode through Jordan Kusa and musicians started to join that band (Flamme, Teka Diobanza, Mamale, Serge Mabiala, Celeo etc.), them getting coached by Suzuki Luzubu, Willy Bula and Professeur Didace. The way Koffi Olomidé killed his band by stealing Bouro Mpela, Sunda Bass, Mamale, Ridens Makosso and him Duc Herode crying/complaining to journalist Manda Tchebwa about it, since that he same Koffi helped him on his first album and said that he had to start a band in Kinshasa. Pecos also explained why Celeo animated in the final version of the generique they did instead of him.

He promised a part 2 since that the story was long, to explain how he joined Big Stars and how it disbanded

In which Animation Celeo animated instead of him?

In the generique that Duc Herode made. I don't the title, but the main cri was "papa asombi vespa" and them having baseball bats in the videoclip. The clip/song is very rare. Nobody can't find him. I remember Francis Kakonde saying to Celeo that he went to Kinshasa to look for that generique in the archives, but him not being able to find it

Why don't Teddy Mola use Microsoft Teams to interview people that are abroad instead of using the phone with a bad sound. Because what Pecos said in this interview was very capital. I gave an insight how it used to be, to perform in streetbands and being part of 2 bands at the same time like Flamme Kapaya and him used to do.

the generique's title was VIP

Felix Wazekwa literally wrote every song (Except for Koffi's Binina) in Duc Herode's album.

This interview made me realize that Suzuki's interviews aren't credible. Ado already confronted Suzuki about not telling the truth in their first interview, about being the first musicians of Quartier Latin coming from Flash Musica. In one of his two interviews with the same Ado Yuhe he said that Duc Herode's band was his and that they used to rehearse at his house. But Pecos' story is totally differently, explaining how they used to recruit musicians in Lemba, but because of the noise, them getting chased away. Them settling in Bandalungwa where they recruited other musicians and Suzuki helping them out, since that he sung many parts on the album Glamour and later also Willy Bula helping them out.

This interview made me also realize how Koffi used each person that were he know or were working for him and either close or related to the key-musicians of Golden Tchatcho to join Quartier Latin. Because I remember Nono Ba Diamants saying proudly that she was the person that got her brother Ridens Makosso into Quartier Latin. Bouro Mpela once saying that got into Quartier Latin through Eric Ndombasi (General Ooh) , who said that Koffi was looking for him. However, Mamale is the only person, who said that he wanted to join Quartier Latin by himself and that he asked for it to Maitre 150. The story that Maitre 150 of revealing that Duc Herode didn't had papers, must have convinced most musicians, them having all the desire to go to Europe one day. I wonder if Duc Herode still managed to get to Abidjan, which the orignal project was (recruiting musicians in Kinshasa and start a tour around African countries for the promo of Glamour). Many people would hold a grudge for life, but Herode often post stuff of Koffi on social media, maybe because of being a former Koffi-fan before becoming a musician. It seems also that he retired from music for years. Did he ever return back to Europe ? The stories of Wenge El Paris and Duc Herode, must have scared Mirage Supersonic when getting contracts after releasing his first album.


Hearing about Bouro Mpela and Teka Diobanza dancing, I would like to have see at least one footage of Golden Tchatcho's concerts, to see those confrontations of the two guys.
