memory of the late Teddy Sukami, Freddy Elongama Zaïko has pegged the heart

Elo reveled to us in a brief interview he has given to AEM

Afriqu'Echos MAGAZINE (AEM): Freddy Elonga, you return from Kinshasa for the

second time since the concerts that followed the return of Nyoka Longo ...

FREDDY eLong (F. ELO): Just returned from Kinshasa, where I often go for reason 

of my work. It's almost every month I am in Kinshasa and of course

this gives me the opportunity to monitor Zaiko

AEM: You've certainly met Nyoka Longo, did you discuss with him 

the Zaïko tour in South Africa where this group would be very much demanded?

F. ELO: Every time I do not fail to meet President Nyoka Longo and play with the

band when the opportunity arises. We of course discuss the possibility of a tour group in RSA.

AEM: Do you have an idea about the date or period planned for the tour?

F. ELO: We believe that the month of February 2010 would be favorable. We

want, in effect, taking into account the 2010 World Cup and doubling the

interest and potential sponsors.

AME: What has been done and what will actually be done in the coming days?

F. ELO: We are trying to gather as many sponsors as possible in the DRC and in

RSA. The president Nyoka must come to RSA towards the November 20th and with him we

will make prob the place before confirming the dates for the tour.

AEM: Your impressions of the work done since the return of Nyoka Longo in

Kinshasa.

F. ELO: Nyoka Longa and Zaiko have worked hard to return to the top of the

Congolese musical sceane. Zaiko is in high demand and music lovers are

counted among the young and old that we are. This is the strength of Zaiko

Nkolo Mboka.
