He said that he came to QL (in '96 in full promotion of V12 and in preparation of Wake Up Album that Koffi made with Papa Wemba) after being in a small group of Young Guys with no leader, thanks to his late vieux Maître 150 he had the opportunity to make the test straight to Koffi house with Mbochi and Koffi took him but he felt like he had much to  accomplish and to learn since Koffi didn't scream or got crazy over his voice like leaders do when they are impressed with someone, (and like Koffi did with Mbochi) he didn't like what Jordan Kusa said about Koffi's dancers in his era (that they are Koffi's animals) since now they are married and with kids and in our culture is disrespectful calling someone's mom or a woman in general an animal, he didn't feel like Olympia was a big deal like everybody had becauss he was about 20 y.o. so to him was another concert while QL members with kids and family in Eurooe felt that it was the tine wherethey would have huge chunk of money ?.

He doesn't speak a lot throughout the Congolese Diaspora Journalist because he simply didn't have much to say.


He didn't partecipate in Ultimatum despite being a member because he wasn't still ready
The artist who impressed him the most was CNN, thee is no way he had the power to leave Jordan Kusa behind for the trip in South Africa, being in the Olympia roster gave him the acknowledge to know how to treat Koffi, despite being neighbors Mamale Tupac never went to Koffi's house unless he got called like Felly, Fally and the newer generation does, and since Jordan Kusa he is the guy who is from Bandal like him he could never think or make bad things to him. Probably is Koffi who have spread that rumour since when Koffi came in Eurioe Mamale ask Koffi face to face what was the reason behind leaving him in Kin not making him touring with him,and Koffi said to him that it was his beloved vieux (a very very important guy in DRC which Mamale do not reveal) that ased Koffi to made Mamale stay in Kin
The Bercy formation was made of Fally Ipupa, Lola Muana, Depitsho Savanet, Babia Ndonga, Eric Tutsi, JF Ifonge, they rehearsed in Ma Campagna and then got ready to leave for Bercy, despite having an excellent relationship between he Academia members he couldn't qui5e reveal it since Koffi was way mad at the guys who formed Academia, Olympia guys have the same spirit and the same mentality, united and yoy will never see Champion, Modogo or other guys speaking bad about each other

Jordan falling into the public while trying to dive into them it was because Jordan came waaay late (he had to build a commercial bond with someone since money wasn't enough) and before going back to stage he had kneel down to Koffi crying and out of humiliation Jordan left QL
Mamale brought good dancing skills a good singing voice and an impeccable image in QL but he can't say more because it is the people who judge musician, QL is a movemebt for the ladies and being there automatically gives you new fan and plenty of ladies to choose if you want to have fun, if you could bring 5,6,7 ladies to Rambo (as QL mbers like to call him) you would be forever in his grace.
They were paid and Mamale didn't even think about money in the first place and in QL before having mojey you have to show your ability in fact when Mamale got accepted to the geoup Koffi called him and order to him to go in his office and told him to sign a paper and give him 100 dollars as his monthly salary (wow that's very low) and even outside of DRC in everywhere in Afruca you woyld get 100 dollars and for him as a youngguy of 20/21 was great to him, ans after the South African tour musician have started to make huge projects with the money they were expecting from Koffi so he go to Koffi house and funds Do Akongo and Depitsho Savanet and with Koffi they see Madilu System, so they waitand leave the room they were in to let Koffi and Madilu soeak, even though they weren' on the same room they have heard some glimpse of the conversation Koffi and Madilu was having and basically Koffi said: Now wait, Imma pay my petit musicians" and Madilu said: "What? What are you doing? Soyou pay these kids, you pay these musicians?" Koffi answerd "Of course, why don't you pay your musicians?" and Madilu fired back saying "Well, this month don't pay them so we see if the next month they will be your musicias  again".
All the project of most musicians felt and they haven't left also since Bercy was coming close, but beside that the salary was there in QL and beside that Koffi was a guy that he eas giving you trousers, shoes, and clothes in general and he was doing many many times and gave him even a car aftet they came back in Olympia and knew that his original car was broken, and as usual some witchcraft happened where almost every me mmm ber of QL was having serious accidents and he was one of the few left who was still unharmed and he adds thatof course witchcraft is there but no one will say hey look I go to the witchcrafters to have power it is a secret within each of th if they did it or not and I personally think that Mamale didn't do it.
They have cancelled a trip because Koffi said that there is toouch witchery one time, musicians, lovers, sons, daughter, dancers all of them had massive witchcraft so Koffi feared his life and cancelled the trip, and adds that it is clearly visible when someone does witchcraft or not since they are specific rules to each occasion, for example in that occasion he knew that a guy didn't have shower always wear black and so on, and he knows whp these guys are but won't reveal it, Koffi just book the flight for the next day and the flight went well.
He didn't left nor he hasn't been left by QL it is that in a trip from Brazzaville which was way after him and Koffi fell off, he wasn't called for going with the group after a long list of musicians, and since hewas an important member two other musicians (whcih Mamale did not reveal) said President there is Mamale who is missing in that list and Koffi re-red agaun ghe list and didn't  say the name of Mamale and Mamale was actually happy to being left because he knew that if he went it would have been other problems in that period he was living with Felix Tyson (Feilx Tyson sleeping in Mamale's house) and Felix Tyson which was at the time the new member and a smaller member than Mamale was in that list so he packed his stuff and got ready for the trip and Koffi (typical Koffi style, eliminate you than pretending it was other people who made him do it) called him but the phone was off and when Mamale started it again he got the Koffi call which was asking why Mamale wasn't in Brazza with the rest of the group, and Mamale packed his bags and almost risked to die in the Congo river, before of the call he was happy to have stayed since if you have problems with Koffi you will deal with a lot of stress and evil mind games. Koffi took the first canoe with dancers, Christian Anzenza, synthe, musicians, and other guys Koffi was protecting, while him and other were in the second canoe and biblical rain start to fall with the canoe who were almost sinking with peoole around who negan to cry or to prey Montana and others and Mamale got angry with himself since he wanted to stay and knew that this trup wasn't a good idea to begin with and some river guys made a system to save them, so Mamale couldn't take it anymore, and Mamale on a second time where QL were going in Europe him, Champion Estethique, CNN, Eric Tutsu and others weren't on the list and the same guys asked again why Mamale isn't there but Koffi this time didn't ask Modogo and Joniko tried everything to get him back whike Mamale was leaving and this time he didn't want to be tricked since other musicians visas were there from ages andd strangely his CNN, Champi9n, and Eric Tutsi visa were not available, and Koffi tried to get him to Brazza again and Mamale replied don't worry you can go and there he left

Finally fiston lemam tupac!!! Glad to see him. Too underrated

This is the one guy left I wanted to see in this whole ado series, he hasn't been seen publicly since the QL reunions for babia's death with fally, bouro, sam, modogo and co

@Manzambi94

A lot of talent was wasted over foolish pride; Mamale should have swallowed his pride leave the player's game to Koffi. These women you meet along the way are never your girlfriend, it's simply just your turn with them.

Wasn't he married with children? Why would he let something petty like that remove him from the band? Where did he go after Koffi? My lingala isn't good.

He was Tabou Fatiu’s boyfriend for a moment until Tabou distroyed his life. If I was a musicien then I would never accept a relationship with a women like that. But Congolese musicians are crazy.

After Quartier Latin, he joined BCBG for a moment with Champion. But I don’t know why he didn’t returned with them. I guess that he orefered to get European papers. Then in 2003 he joined Viva Tendence having a vocal in Masayuki (Somo Trop) and he also sung in Nkuzi Lele (2006) putting a song there. In 2005 he released a EP called Acte 2 if I remember well then in 2009 he released Magie Noire. Somewhere in 2015 or 2016 he released a single.

Shallow his pride ? Its Koffi who started humilating him in and outside concerts, like the way he was doing to Eric Tutsi, Champion & CNN who all stayed behind in Kinshasa. Champion was lucky that some staffmembers convinced Koffi the same day to bring him to Europe. It was a good choice of   Mamale to leave, because if he rejoined them in Europe, it could have been worser. Look the way Champion left.

Manzambi your title is misleading I just watched the interview he didn't say anything bad about koffi, he even spoke about his koffi would be generous by gifting them clothes and cars and so on.

Hahahaha that story about madilu killed me about after the recordings of attentat when the musicians were expecting to get paid and already made plans and him mamale, depitcho, do akongo all went to koffi' as office to get the money and madilu walked in and was surprised that koffi was paying them and told koffi "don't pay them and watch they'll still remain with you" with koffi not paying them and which ruined the musicians plans looool they must've been moaning hard 

Ahh koffi even regretted to not put mamale on the list for zenith and effrakata but it was too late since he didn't apply for mamale' visa

He is talking about him in a respectful way but you can hear and see that he didn't like the way he was treated especially when saying that "I was a young kid, after Olympia concert I wasn'y expdcting the huge money Suzuki and.other guys were thinking" or "I had to earn QL respect before making vocals or songs" typically not very good things to aay about your boss especially the money part.

Knowing Fiston Mamale, I don't believe that he was angry about that money and earn respect to make vocals. I remember him being very happy to be in Europe for the first time and Koffi presenting him to his staffmemebers as his son. Don't forget that Babia Ndonga, Eric Tutsi, Mogodo, Suzuki, Willy Bula were big names when he joined and Koffi was then only taking 4 singers to Europe. So it was then very hard to make it. Babia Ndonga, Eric Tutsi and Sam Tshintu all the same thing. They didn't sing direcly on albums when they joined and didn't really care about the money.

So all those concerts of Koffi Olomide, Papa Wemba and JB Mpiana were "concert ya promotion" ? Now I understand why they didn't put their names on the wall of the concerthall. Back in the days Emeneya was saying the same thing, but I thought that he was jealous about them performing there before hi, but he was right. Damn I'm discovering that all those things he was saying were true, first about those fake gold records and now about those concerts at Olympia. My friend was also saying that but he was a 100% Zaiko and Wemba-fan, so I tought that he saying that because of jealousy.

3 years ago I read an article about that show of Koffi at Olympia and they were saying that same thing. Also about that of his concert at Zenith de Paris, saying that kompa-singer Tabou Combo performed before him. Constant Lomata who's now the governor of Tshopo used to booked double events at Olympia & Zenith. So will that say that those concerts of Koffi at Zenith & Olympia weren't official ? And those who performed at Zenith later (JB Mpiana, Emeneya, Papa Wemba, Werrason & Zaiko) also ?

My cousin just said that he was Papa Wemba who asked Koffi Olomide to let Mamale stay behind in Kinshasa because of not being happy that he started a relationship with Tabou Fatou. But were those musicians and bandleaders taking those relations with Tabou serious hahahaha ?

I've been told in this forum Mamale joined them in Europe in 2001 after Zenith and USA. He even participated to the first recording-session of Effrakata but he left after Koffi stole one of his girlfriends. So when Brigade and Kerozene came CNN,Eric Tutsi,Babia ect were still there it seems like Koffi didn't really liked them anymore he didn't even show them in the VHS where they rehearse for Zenith.

Yeah, maybe he forgot. one or two concerts, then he went to BCBG. There was moment that he wanted to join Cultura Pays-Vie with CNN & Eric Tutsi before going to Europe, but people in Cultura weren't liking him and Wazekwa was doubting about accepting them in the band.




CNN was suspended, he had only to perform with them in concerts, but was forbidden to rehearse with them. Babia became strange, he was addicted to drugs and he was barely singing in concerts. Fans weren't also taking him serious anymore and started to pay more attention to Paparazzi. Because after Bercy he said that he left Quartier Latin which was then for the second time and then he rejoined them quickly when Quartier Latin returned to Kinshasa.

 But about Eric Tutsi I don't understand it, because himself he said back in 2014 or 2013 that he left Quartier Latin because of Koffi being angry at him, for threaten Chamberton. Since that Chamberton started to sing his songs in his presence to humilate him. Just for asking to Koffi if he could give him money to repair his car. Because those shegues saboted his car after performing at Cinemax. Back in those days Koffi was in war with the shegues of Matonge, for running one of their friends over which made them furious. With them promising that they would attack him and his musicians everywhere. I don't know how he reconciled with them, but it were tense days. I think that 'Face ya Farata' and 'Petit Guelord' were one of those guys.
