strangely enough i find his voice much much better than 30 years ago,i dont know if the fact he also started singing in the group of faignond gave him better "nuance"even the lyrics are more clear to understand here

I think that it's one of the factors. Btw, he's voice is also different when animating in the generique he made with Bana Poto-Poto compared to his voice in Magie.

There's one thing that I don't understand. In one of the interviews he did this year, he said that he joined before Pas de Faux and that Koffi wasn't paying attention to him for 2 years, but here he said that he joined after it and also immediatly started touring. He was also talking about Eric Tutsi and Sam Tshintu being in te tour. But in one of Babia interviews, Babia explained that he joined at the same moment with Eric Tutsi and that it was a few weeks before Quartier Latin going to Europe for Noblesse Oblige. This made me wonder if Beevans joined Quartier Latin before or after Noblesse Oblige. Because the way Willy Bula animated in Noblesse Oblige was a bit with those Ekokota-Beevans nuances, although not having their voice. I think that I also already had seen Beevans in two cassettes  before the Noblesse Oblige-trip, but I'm not sure since it's years ago and myself not having seen those videos for a long time. It would be nice if Mbuta could get Willy Bula for an interview to ask him what led him to animate in Noblesse Oblige and if Beevans was already in Quartier Latin.
