he is talking about the days of staff london in early 90's where ferre was singing and bill on animation and doucoure went to el paris replaced by genta and shares some of the stories about their experience for example how they recorded in a studio and people had to hold their neck in lofombo's studio of then to avoid street noise interfering

Mbuta Likasu is doing a great job. I would like to see more interviews like these from childhood friends of Ferre, Fally and co. That story of the studio in Bumbu was funny hahahah

I wonder why Bill Clinton never taught during his solo-career to record a generique with his childhood friend Gentamicine. About this guy talking about Bill Clinton. There was a guy years ago I think from Kasa-Vubu doing an interview with Teddy Mola, claiming that Bill was not an atalaku, but first a dancer in Koffi Alibaba's band Interpol and that he became an atalaku in his band, but I don't remember his name. He also claimed that he was the person that gave Bill Clinton the name of Bill Clinton as reference to Tutu Calugi, who had that name as his nickname. The guy also said that Bill was first afraid to watch the public and him giving the advice to just the above the pubic. Bill then later joining Jolino and Royaume Lifaki before joining Maison Mère. Both interviews are confusing me, because the person that get interviewed by Mbuta is talking about the years 1992 till 1995. At that time Tutu was already part of Wenge but didn't breakthrough yet. So did the guy who did the interview with Teddy Mola to join Jimmy Mbonda's words about Bill lie or did Bill already start as atalaku and then stopped to become a dancer for a moment ?


Crazy how Tele Zaire made different footages who are to find nowhere. Would have been great to see images of all these bands back Staff London, Pergola, SVP La Gamme, etc. It seems that Pergola had alot of great artist, who else was part of that band next to Eric Tutsi, Alpatchino, Tutu Kaluji ? Imagine Eric Tutsi joining Zaiko instead of Quartier Latin, singing next to Adamo, Malage, Nyoka Longo and co hahahaha

i think you are talking about alino,and indeed bill was a bit shy then its in maison mere that werra really coached out of him that crazy personality,lool i remember werra told him yo oza atalaku faut pas ozala calme il faut ozala agité neti ba baki yo pili pili  na systeme (you have to be energetic as if  they injected hot pepper in your bum so that you act wild)
ferre and papy kalombo did a period in pergola(ferre's one way shorter than papy)
both guys could be right because the band alino was talking about was also in that period before lifaki and co,that was the period where they could be in 3 groups at the same time
