Looks like he want to imitate Marie Paul's voice. He sounds different than in the time he was in QL and his solo-carreer.

Maybe it was because Koffi was treating them as stars with them seeing guys like Suzuki, Bouro & Modogo as peanuts. With as result that they were not working anymore on their voice, while in Wenge El Paris they were forced to do it since that the pressure was high, due to having to much musicians in the band with Depitcho trying so hard to replicate Debaba and JF Ifonge replicating Marie Paul (I saw an interview where he said that Marie Paul learned how to sing better as a 2eme voix).

Modogo Gianfraco Ferre is really a big 'faux chanteur'

But Modogo GFF never denied that, that's why he always had Viva members interpreting his compositions.

Modogo was revered for his ability to put together good compositions quickly (though mostly high-fashion and Western luxury centric) and his ability to obtain resources needed to self produce & produce most Viva albums in the late 80's- early 90's with Gina Kiaku
