If I was you I would save this video. Because this man always delete them after uploading them.

I haven't seen the videoyet. But was this after that Boeing 737 left with most musicians to form Fondation Empire ?

Yeah Loguylo was one of those musicians who ran away in the States, called Nyoka Longo "Petit Nyoka" on the phone and Nyoka Longo being furious and attacking him. I don't know if it's still on youtube.

This part 1

the late Mimiche Bass on 4:55 min

Did you see comedian Maman Epela as dancer on 23:08 min ?

I'm seeing also his wife/girlfriend Charlie Chocolate dancing in the second song (are they still together?) ? I remember her dancing for Koffi for a moment after Pepe Kalle's death. You can see her dancing in the rehearshal of that Droit de Veto-VHS.

They announced a tour for March 2000. But like Delta Force, the camp of Djuna Mumbafu and the camp of Lofombo they all ended up by not going to Europe. It's sad that Papy Tex didn't succeed with Empire Bakuba. I tried to get Djuna Mumbafu and Lofombo back in Delta Force, but both said no, Djuna giving the condition that Lofombo have not to rejoin if he came back and Lofombo vice-versa, wanting also all recruited musicians in Delta Force coming with him.

Why did Papy Tex leave the group?


Apparently it was DeSouza who wanted to continue the orchestra after the departure of papy tex.

He didn't left. It's just the he became demotivated, because of the loss of Pepe Kalle, most concerts of them being mpiaka and their started a conflict between him and Boeing (who wanted to change the direction), which made being and almost the whole band following him to form Fondation Empire. Papy Tex then being left alone with just a few musicians and shortly after that he decided to return back to Europe and didn't want to do music anymore for a long time (If I remember well, he  recorded only one album with Likinga).

He recorded an album after Pepe Kalle's death, but it wasn't released on the market. Dilu started to focus more on prayers and working in church. Papy Tex tried to get him back, but he refused saying that they will disrespect him one day and it also happened when Fondation Empire got formed.

He was always strong in prayers, because he was a seminarian before joining Empire Bakuba and often going to the church during his career. He is a priest right now. I remember Desouza once saying that after Djuna Mumbafu departure, there were moments that they couldn't rehearse because Dilu would sometimes rent all instruments and chairs to the church. Lofombo said in his interview with I think Ado Yuhe or Landu, that they would also pray together with him when traveling and him being scared when he said "the plane will crash if you will sleep with other girls during the tour" lol and other musicians not more praying with him.
