hahaha marie paul's classic "bozo dayer hein dayyyyyy "
I was happy to finally get the chance to see the interview 18 years later after seeing those extracts on Bjone's youtube channel, only to discover that Bijone uploaded the most important parts. Marie Paul was clearly jealous of Werra's succes. He was downplaying those crowded open-air concerts, saying that his concerts were of money, like Tabu Ley, Papa Wemba and King Kester Emeneya in the past. If he wasn't already down at that time, he wouldn't say that. Artists like Reddy Amisi openly admitted that those open-air concerts even if they were for free were no joke. Reddy even congratulating artists who were able to have big crowds every week, since that was struggling to get them. It's a shame that Marie Paul's videotape of his concert at l'Esplanade de Palais du Peuple never got released in Europe. Him complaining years about it, shows that it was the biggest highlight of his music-career. You would think that RTNC would have saved those images since that they were filmed by them. But our country it's sadly weird when coming to archives.
I don't understand why Gaulthier Mascotte just didn't release vol 7 in two parts as volume 7 & 8. Because 7 hours is to long. You must be unemployed to have that much of time to watch everything. In that era DVD's of concerts were 3 or 4 hours. You would have no time to watch 2 or 3 DVD's if you had vistors at home on a saturday nor time to watch different movies of Djany (RIP) with Koko Bilayi, Dady (RIP), Viya, Pululu (RIP), etc., if you didn't want to pause or skip it.
