This is a man I misunderstood when my understanding of Congolese music and lingala was basic, I only changed my perception about him when I watched his Olympia Paris show dvd

I only came to realise how good he was with his music after the 2008 Olympia Show. I knew he was a good singer quite alright but like most people, I thought he was just another singer simply because he wasn't a tenorist, it's general knowledge really that tenorists always shine more than other category singers.
Like Papa Wemba,the King was strict with his music arrangement, he paid attention to detail just like in church choirs where every singer counts especially in choruses.

Thank you Sly. That Olympia was my first Kester DVD. Had not given the man a chance before but i came to love him and his music after that DVD. RIP Mutu wa zamani!
