here is a translation on memory for those who want

he says he arrived in wenge bcbg having never played in street groups(just in INA with olivier tshimanga and co) as his parents could not pay his school fees anymore and its his   father who absolutely hated the idea of him becoming a musician in the past who gave him blessings
so he went and have worked on 20+songs  in case any of them were requested in test and he succeeded and was the only person tested that day who did not come with fans from his area he came on his own with his guitar
then when bcbg returned from bercy he started being behind ficarre moleso and burkina faso and he managed to be the first artist of the young generation to travel with bcbg to his big surprise,and he says in wenge its normally impossible that once on tour leader thinks about somebody to join in but it was his case thankfully
in fact he was not on the list for antiterro trip but once there jb decided that he should come and came in person to welcome him at airport and he ended up playing along with the three other soloists on generique(then played rhythm and bass on some songs)
he talked about djino chai incident saying indeed djino wanted to smoke weed at restaurant of the group's donor in lubumbashi but the way chai told him off did not please him so he replied badly and there started a clash
still about lubumbashi on another occasion he remembers once when their plane should have taken off to take them back to kin and one of the plane wings started burning and it was a massive scare for them and they even have to jump out of the plane with many of them getting injured and that when jb heard the news he could not stop crying because he imagined had some of them died what would people say about him and things like that
about the period were fans were putting pressure on jb to get rid of older guys he said for him jb acted like a true father because it was a very tense moment overall in congolese music with most of the rival group starting to have clearout of experienced guys,so he deserves a lot of credit for the fact he just did not fire them for the sake of firing while they were valuable to the group
and he gives example of kibens who for him is a genius who is like everyone knows a strong writer but also he has an exceptional awareness of music he gives them partitions,ideas and so on while he does not play any instruments and there is one particular moment which marked him patou when stones and pieces of wood were thrown on stage towards kibens and co and jb decided singlehandedly to stop the concert and go home it showed he is grateful to them many other leaders would not have stood so strongly for their employees
 and he added that jb is a really cool leader who sometimes even eats with his hands in same plates as his musicians and whenever there are issues between musicians he'd organize reunions to sort it out in private to avoid that it goes viral
he also said he is still a bcbg member and had played on 17 balle de match songs in 2014 when jb gave him authorization to come to europe to sort out papers(and he got them) and he also had it hard to hide emotion when talking about sunda bass who he had a lot of affinity with

The Sunda Bass part was really painful to watch

Interesting, thanks for the summary archos,i will follow the interview in full on tv, i like what Ado is doing, interviewing all these hidden stars but interestingly some are forgetting facts whilst some are contradicting each other a lot,the Wenge history one is very interesting, seen most former Wenge Musica founders saying what they know including Zing Zong etc
