I understand now why they fired the late Mfumu Belvis Luvutula out of the band (he was used by Verckys Kiamuangana to destablize Wenge Musica) and why Titina Al Capone, Blaise Mbonda and him got their places in the band, above Djolina, Don Pierrot Mbonda and Maradona who were suspended (I always thought that Maradona already left after Blaise Kombo's death). But even if the late Mfumu Belvis betrayed them, it's sad that Werra and JB didn't show up when he died, because he used to be their first president and contributed alot for Wenge 4x4 in the beginning. Collegien also explained how donor Tchatcho Mbala got the nickname Kashoggi,  the way Zaiko messed up their first concert in Europe at the residence of the Congolese ambassasor of Belgium in Brussels and their first official concert in Brussels with the problems of Ricoco (having the presence of Savanet Depitcho in the public). Collegien revelead that Ambassadeur Kija Brown who came one month later in Europe after Wenge, had to come with the new recruited mi-solist Maitre Fi-Carre and Blaise Mbonda. But Kija came alone explaining to JB and Werra, that it was due to the devaluation of the Zaire-currency, which made it harder for him to get visa's for the two guys.

In this video there was also a little interview with Djolina Mandudila through the phone, who said that he played the whole Mulolo-album and that he went with Wenge to Europe in 1992, but stayed in London (So Wenge's first concert of the '92 Europe-tour was London? Because I didn't saw him in that Madeleine-concert). Then in 1997 he came back, but he couldn't find his place in Maison Mere and BCBG and later joined Zaiko where he prepared Eureka-album, doing the arrangement of the song Ngoma in Kinshasa. He received his visa to participate at Zenith and tour with them. But he was blacklisted and left behind (maybe that one of the bandleaders called Nyoka Longo to leave him behind), which made him years later migrate to South Africa.

Collegien is an interesting guest and a good story-teller. I love how he gives even the small details.


However, something is intriguing me: Djo Lina said that the song Ngoma on Eureka belongs to Vieux Mondial. I thought that it was Bidjana's song.

Papy Cocaine said that same thing in his interview with Ado Yuhe, when being asked why bandleaders credit generics to their name. Saying that Mafuta Mondial and Bidjana were arguing in Europe about the song Ngoma, when Bidjana was about to credit the song to his name.
