Freddy is asked if he got $15,000 to go to Maiosn Mere and and an option to pick a car he says that he wouldn't because $15,000 is nothing but pedicure money and it's nothing for him because he's with big people(he named some of his donors). He also said that other people see him as a soldier for Ferre and he says he wouldn't even want to go to Maiosn mere because he's better then all the guitarist over there etc. and that he's been on a lot more voyages and seen more countries then some mmebers of that band. He says that he's not scared of anyone because he knows that he will die anyways. He says that he's playing with a leader who is the best singer in Congo. He says that Maiosn Mere tried to attack Ferre for a long time but he didn't respond and they felt ashamed of what they were doing. He was asked how many songs he played on Boite Noire and he said that he played 17 songs on there. Freddy said that Oilivier Tshimanga is a good guitarist who used to play with Papa Lutumba but ran away in Europe and now is used a session musician(he didn't say it in a mocking way). He says that Ferre uses him a lot because he plays the style Ferre likes to play which is rhumba odemba/Ok Jazz style Freddy said he played the rhythm part on Litaka and he did the Brazilian style of guitar. and he said that he also played on Maboko Pamba. Freddy said that he's a good soldier who defends Ferre's group till the end and says that anyone who has a problem with Ferre has to go through him. Freddy says that it's very hard to have a name for yourself in Congolese music because there is too many musicians in Kinshasa calling them selves leaders and no one knows theirs musicians . Freddy says that the people who used to formateurs are now at menopause age and can't produce anymore kids  :D :D Freddy says that he  listens to other guitarists like Alain Makaba,Laurent Kadogo, Fofo Le Collegien and Do Akongo. He says that musicans in his generation aren't really known and he says that he's the only guitarist people know from his generation and he says that all his YouTube interviews get a  of views and girls follow him a lot.

Just to clarify on the point about Olivier Tshimanga, Marchouse made a good point which i have always stated here, he said he is a rhythm guitarist and plays rhythm guitar partitions on all the songs whilst Olivier Tshimanga is actually a soloist who simply added his lead guitar partitions to some of the songs, he demonstrated on the first song he played which parts he plays and also the lead part played by Tshimanga. He also stated that Olivier Tshimanga is not the only lead guitarist who has played on Ferre's albums, others do too because and he gave the example of Laurent Kadogo another excellent guitarist.
Laurent Kadogo
