Re: Pasteur Lapino (ex'atalaku Anti Choc) talking about his past
In short in the first video. He said that he's from the quarter Kauka (which next to Matonge, Yolo and Quartier du 20 Mai all situated in the municipality/area of Kalamu). He started as a wrestler, then became a "Kadhaffi" like many youngster of that time when a shortage of petrol occured in Kinshasa. Later on he became a dj and worked in many nightclubs (Matete, Masina, N'djili, Lemba and Yolo). His cri's became also popular and were used in Langa Langa Stars. He was at some point approached by Evoloko to join Langa Langa Stars, but he refused. Seeing that he would not get money anymore while having a good life being a dj. Later on he was approached by Bozi and then was presented by him at FIKIN and all the animations on his own because of Wally Ngonda being absent. Later on when he had to do his public rehearshal at Kimpwanza bar, Wally Ngonda was alerted by his collegues and he didn't want to share his mic until Bozi noticing it and saying that Wally had to leave his mic to Lapino. After that they went on a tour in the Equator-province. Some members not being happy with it, because he just joined that band.
May forget some parts. But If I remember well, he also said somewhere that its the cri "Bayibi Lipapa ya Warra" which made him known, him earning the nickname "Le Grand Warra".
I won't translate part 2 because its scary hahaha

In Part 2, the journalist asked if he didn't use any magic and him replying by saying that when he was a dj and in his first months in Anti Choc, he didn't use them. Until his first tour to Europe being close, him being approached by a witchdoctor from the quarter Camp Mombele, who used to work with Anti Choc. I forgot how they conversation after the concert was since I watched it 3 days ago. But there was a point that the witchdoctor said he had to carry Anti Choc spiritually. Bozi said later that he had to meet him at his house. Bozi then presented him to the witchdoctor and the witchdoctor brought him to Mombele. Lapino was scared when he entered his house, because all objects he saw and the witchdoctor saying that he has not to be scared. Then the witchdoctor ordered him that to enter a coffin that was laying on the ground. One second after entering it, he didn't understand how he wake up the next day. The witchdoctor saying that he was strong man. He also added that an other day they went to the cimetary of Kimbanseke, then a tombstone talking to them, the witchdoctor doing ceremonies, the tombstone asking to Lapino on which place he want to put Anti Choc since that Afrisa and OK Jazz already have number 1. Him wanting two which was shared by Victoria Eleison, Zaiko and Viva La Musica. Them doing ceremonies and going back home. The witchdoctor brining a object with him (which was in reality a coffin) and the car-driver not understanding why the car suddenly became heavy. Lapino said that they went for like 4 times to cemetery and sometimes happing that they had to do it during daylight. Also that the witchdoctor once gave him money and said that he had to spread it discrete, without nobody noticing it, so that people would take that money (it's to sacrifice people) and the witchdoctor saying that he had to move immediatly when the money would fall on the ground.
The rest I don't remember. Only that he was really famous when touring in Africa, that sometimes it was like him being leader and many fans abroad wanting to take pictures with him. He also said that bandmembers were scared for him, knowing that he was holding Anti Choc's nkisi and not wanting to eat next to him. Him scaring them sometimes, by faking to do incantations and stuff like that and them running away.
Part 3
Was about him saying that he started to be pissed off that he was doing hard work with the witchdoctor while the bandleader would get alot of money and him just peannuts. Also that his friend who used to dj with him also joined Anti Choc to animate along him and also started to work with the same witchdoctor. But that guy passing away in Kinshasa when to came in Europe. People accusing him of sacrifing him. But Lapino explaining that the guy (I dont remember what his name was) wanted to take his place by eliminating him spiritually, and that being the thing that killed the guy because it turned against him. I've to watch the video again to know that name.
In the same video he explained that he started to be left behind during tours (If I remember well three times until his departure (1997-1999). He also talked about the confrontion of him against his brother who was a pastor. Him slowly starting to go the church during his last tour. Also that he almost died, which made him become a brother in christ, saying that he could be the payback of all lives he sacrificed when being famous.

I wonder what really pushes our people to think that you need to sacrifice little babies, adults and women to succeed in life, us the people we are drawn to the music, if the music is good people will dance if it is not people won't follow, Wazekwa and Deplick are known to not do those stuff yet they all have success and Deplick in Maison Mere had huge success with people even bringing him on their head collectively when he first sing in his neighborhood also Celeo, KoYimbi Ko might be one of the biggest crie ever (it really wasn't his crie but a Franco one but I think you get the point) and Celeo also is known to have never done those things, Heaven and Hell are real, instead of using your will and power to do good you harm people thinking that it will benefit you, for then what? As he says he was being paid peanuts and so why do all those atuff

I do not the atalaku's name that passed away but I know he featured on the album "Mbanzi Ya Gamundele" (1994) and he appeared on Tele Zaïre "Variete Samedi Soir" when Schola Miel returned in 1995.
