I don’t think people will ever realise how BIG Maison Mère were in the UK in 1998/99. Intervention Rapide was hot everywhere. Especially when it came out on VHS, till this day I’ve never seen an artist or group get as much support from the UK community the way Werra and Maison Mère did.

celeo looked the most happy of them all. but he didnt knew that he was about to get left behind. he missed out on their first concert in london. if it wasn't his determination and perseverance to get in uk, the support of adolphe dominguez and donors, he would have end up like olivier mpungi and vasco de gama. the story about how he managed to get in uk is crazy

it was already trouble for celeo to travel,his real passport was given to somebody else and they had to last minute use the passport of somebody born way before him a passeport of zaire still, to do bangula on it
until today many people are confused about his real name because he's had to cover for some people
even heritier said that because of somebody travelling with his passport on bercy tour,he came to zenith having to make a change on his name

Do you know why olivier mpungi and vasco de gama got left behind before the European tour? Was it for the same reason Celeo had a hard time getting accepted by Werrason or did they fall out with staff? I know that sometimes people get left behind if they don't have support from key members of the group like Adolphe, Werra, or Kija Brown

If Vasco got left behind for Europe, who was their keyboardist for their first tour of Europe?
