How Papy tex and Dilu reacted to Pépé's success in the West Indies ?
I don't know if it was Lofombo or Desouza. But one of them said that they were not happy that Pepe Kalle used to record without them and sometimes even performing without them around West-Africa and the 3 times he went to the French West Indies.
About his concerts in West Indies. I think that he could have expand his succes there more like Aurlus Mabele and co if he decided to focus much more on his solo-career. Then Empire Bakuba in Kinshasa. Guys like Aurlus Mabele and Shimita went even to the English speaking islands Grenada & St Lucia, Brazil and Colombia.
