I am a  dissapointed about this interview. They spent alot time on talking about spirituality and when talking about his Bendo's career they didn't go into details like the previous interviews. They did the interview like Congolese people say " ya likolo, likolo". I was excepting to hear how he managed to rejoin Nouvelle Ecriture, the time that Papa Wemba went in prison, Somo Trop and Bazokion-era. Also Mbuta Likasu didn't confront him with the reponses Pompom Miyake gave about the origin of Nouvelle Ecriture's name, etc. That is the disadvantage to wait 2 years to continue with the serie of interviews. It's a better to do everything straightaway and cut it in 4 parts if it's to long, like the way Ado Yuhe's interview with Alain Mpela was cut into 3 parts.

The only part that took my attention was how Bendoson explained that they recorded with Ramazani, Pompom Miyake and Christian na Nzenze their album and late Bob Masuwa going with the recordingfiles to Europe to release it, but getting threatened by his brother Jules Masuwa and sitting down with Papa Wemba and people of Viva la Musica and him being offered a huge amount of money to not release their album. But Bendoson and co still being stubborn and continuing with Papa Wemba one day going to their rehearshal place and taking Ramazani's guitar.
