Souzy Kaseya is more a arranger. In this interview he explained how he started music in Katanga, how he moved to Kinshasa for studies but joined Jeannot Bombenga's band, how he went abroad, started working with different artists (Evoloko, Tshala Muana, etc.), how traditional luba artists would be mad at him and Tshala Muana claiming that they were messing their songs up,.....

About songwriter. He only explained the situation that led to recording of Ye Te Oh and why he thinks that Olivier Tshimanga became close to Wemba. But what I don't understand is that years ago, Senado "Tata Malongi" claimed to be the one who wrote Ye Te Oh for Papa Wemba
