Wenge didn't take Caludji to replace him, they took him to be animation-pair like Nono Monzuluku and Doudou Adoula in Zaiko.
Caludji came as a replacer for Manda Chante, but JB Mpiana prefered Aimelia. On the same time Ekokota started to mis rehearshals, because the succes went to his head. Werrason then discovered that he could also animate and adviced him to go the animation-section to animate in rehearshals and concerts, in the case that Ekokota would skip it or come very late. On Anges Adorables, Ekokota went on his own as atalaku in Europe, doing some cries of Caludji. After Anges Adorables, Ekokota was still coming late to rehearshals and creating less cries, while Caludji came with multiple cries. That's why Caludji animated more in Pentagone then Ekokota. From Feux de l'Amour Ekokota started to get throat issues, which made him not animate anymore in concerts and when he was present just doing a few cries. After the second concert of Wenge BCBG in Europe which was at La Madeleine, he was attacked by New Jack gangsters. On the same time they discovered that he had tumor, which made him miss the rest of the tour, because he had to recover. He had normally to make a comeback at Zenith 1999 of JB Mpiana like Patient Kusangila, but I don't know what didn't go well. After that he tried to form his own band in Brazzaville, but it flopped, from then he dissapeard from the scene and doesn't want to talk about music anymore.
