El Paris-pages on social media were mobilizing their fans to watch this video, believing that it was the cassette of the Evenement Jaune-event at Stade de 20 Mai, only discovering later that it was just a simply interview of Marie Paul with Vieux Abeto and an extract of their show at FIKIN which is on channel of Rumbarchives



Here Marie Paul  (44:33 min) is believing that the succes at Palais du Peuple would boost his succes in Europe, not knowing that some important people at RTNC were against him and making a conspriacy to mess the images and sound of the show up. Marie Paul once said an interview with Papa Rolls that he was dissapointed to discover that images of that show weren't released in Europe, as the event was along with show he did at the same venue in 1997, the biggest shows in did in his music-career. At that time everyone in Europe was talking about the shows JB Mpiana and Werrason did at l'Espalande, while Marie Paul already performed there 4 times with big crowds.



from 22:23 min

Looks like Marie Paul has alot of unreleased songs. From 11:23:22 min he's singing a song that was meant for KO Debout, but didn't come out nor on the upcoming albums

When Marie Paul performed outside of Palais du peuple was Depitcho still in the group or he already left?

In 1999, Depitcho was already part of Quartier Latin. He was present on the of 1993, when they arrived from Europe with just 3 singers (Manda, Marie Paul and himself). The one of 1997, I am not sure if he was present. Because in the period that Wenge split, he and Manda Chante left with some members to form their own band only to return after a few days, leaving Depitcho alone. Depitcho then trying to get back to Europe, only to join Quartier Latin after a few months
