his real name is jean-robert which was turned into roberto
yes actually its part of a song bana odeon used to sing at funerals tutu and co modified later into animation(for example the way recently some guys modified gospel into animation)

Ooh yes i see. Because the lyrics is about a mother who died and girls who died, if i understanded it well (my kikongo is very bad). Why don't the 5th generation use those kind of folkloric animations anymore ? I'm really fed up with those sex-animations tchip..

Please, I would like to know what he(Ekokota) has been up to since he is no longer doing music.

 Roberto, Djuna Mumbafu, and Nono are the fathers, in my opinion.

Oh how could I forget to include the great 3615 Code Niawu? So popular and influential throughout the late 80's -90's. He has by far the biggest album resume of any atalakou

Can somebody give me any more info on this Code Niawu individual. I believe he did anition on the first wenge aile paris album but im not a 100%. Was he signed to any bigger band at any point ? And also unrelated how come I hear so much about Bana Odeon and yet have suxh a hard time finding anything about them on the internet lol

He was a member of Bana Odeon and then became a mbonda-player in Grand Zaiko Wawa of Pepe Felly Manuaku until their last Europe-tour of 1990 and then started to do animations on Soukous-albums. Ricoco Bulambemba who wanted to record a pure soukous-album, invited him to his solo-album Molangi Ya Molasi, because he was reputated as a big soukous-atalaku in that era.

exactly in that period not only the throat but the spiritual part of his job was affecting him i dont want to elaborate on it but in i think the famous mama angebi concert werra clearly hinted who is who in the spiritual section of the group he was sick a lot of times prior to that throat thing and i guess its part of why he has been so media shy he knows he will be asked about how all of a sudden things went downhill and whether its due to spiritual reasons

Was that animation of "Eeh baboyi nga nadima Jesus massiya eeh, naboya te..." in Pentagone not a hint towards the problems he got ? After that Werrason said that, they started performing Pentagone and Ekokota was not really looking happy when he started animating. Did the problems not start after Anges Adorables ? Because before that album Calugi was nothing but after it he came with alot of new cries and started to be a face-to face atalaku, but people started not noticing that Ekokota started to lost it and not long after that he started to dominate Ekokota, who had then nothing to offer to counter him very hard, except that Jesus, Toyoyo, Kitaku-taku and Mabuidi-animation.

 yes ekokota's issues started from 1994 he was getting "retour" from the strong deals he went for so he was less and less his own self he started drinking too much sometimes you'll be with guys laughing hard and you'll have a silent ekokota with his head down suddenly
he really did not have the easiest last three years and i wont be surprised if when he disappeared he went through some depression
because the poor guy had to handle his own stuff plus at several occasions most of the "charge" of the group
it took him quite some time to be in the right form to record feux de l'amour
that aint easy at all  leaders used to put a lot of responsability on atalakus since they were at that time technically the least important member of thegroup with the rare synthe players of then and supposedly the least educated so they were taking advantage of it

Lol I've always wonder were they went to get Full King? And have Werra do the Atalaku in the studio...Archos you also forgot to mention Roberto had a bad accident around 98-99. And  i think i saw back then a video of him announcing once he recover from his injuries he'd join BCBG( this would be in 99 around Zenith and Olympia)

That thing Between Robert and Tutu kinda reminds me of Zaiko when u had Nono and bebe Atalaku but u'd hear mostly Nono being the lead, then after the scission of 87( Bebe gone with Zaiko FD)Doudou Gradually started pushing aside Nono.... then Papy Cocaine taking over! Even Bidjana couldn't challenge him.... Alino is good but its just not Papy
