Some time ago, I did a question whether Celeo would have been a better fit in Quartier Latin
http://congovibes.com/congolese-music/heated-question-do-you-think-that-celeo-scram-would-have-fitted-in-ql/msg72727/#msg72727

After listening to Celeo Scram interviews and also listening to Koffi giving Celeo a shoutout in Bord Ezanga Kombo. I give my opinion. I think Celeo Scram would have been a better fit in Quartier Latin.

I am going to give you five reasons

1) He is from Bandal. Actually Koffi Olomide seams to have to more attachment to Bandal to other places. I mean Koffi had a property in Bandal as Rosette Komano once counted.
2) His uncle used to be a bodyguard of Koffi. Since he has family connections, I think Celeo should have tried to be near Koffi. Sankara often implied that Celeo killed his uncle since he was a bodyguard for Koffi.
3) I think Fally Ipupa and Celeo Scram would not have such a big conflict since they would be the same group. I know that they would not be the best friends but they would not be insulting each other like they are right now.
4) A lot of QL members are from the Bandal community like Depitcho, Mamale, Jordan Kusa, Cambodge as Wenge 1995 once mentioned. In fact Jordan Kusa actually likes Celeo a lot. I definitvely that Celeo would be more accepted into QL than he was into Maison Mere.
5) He would be star from day one. Koffi would have pushed Celeo much more and as Wenge 1995, Celeo had confidence and that is one thing that Koffi used to like in his members. Celeo would have given even more creative animations that Koffi would never forget. I mean here, Celeo would really be Celeo. Because Koffi would scream his name much more than Werrason ever did.

Agree or Disagree?

Ehh no I disagree, If Celeo started in QL he wouldn't have lasted as long as he did in Maison Mere. Remember Koffi easily drops atalakus if another one comes along just look what happened with Beevens, Somono, Mboshi, CNN, Brigade the list goes on. Maison Mere was the perfect place for Celeo, but if we're talking if it was good for him to go to QL after leaving MM that's another story.

I agree. CNN was fantastic on Force de Frappe and Attentat, but quickly was replaced by Brigade and Bebe Kero because Koffi wanted to have a Clintonist to counter the success of Solola Bien.
