Yeah, because music for me is not only to dance, to jump to. Music is also meant to make the heart vibrate.
Talking with Mopao (The Leader) Koffi Olomide Exclusive Interview with Sean Barlow;Retrieved on November 3, 2022
I’m not here just for the Congolese community. I’m here for all Africans and for all Americans.
I do everything with my heart. I’m a son of God. Everything I do is true, and I think that the Congolese people feel when you are real, when you are true, when you are authentic.

About this person
Antoine Christophe Agbepa Mumba, known professionally as Koffi Olomidé, is a Congolese singer-songwriter, dancer, producer, and founder of Quartier Latin International. Often referred to as the "King of Ndombolo", he is noted for his explosive high notes, deep, throaty baritone, and offbeat voice. Agbepa is considered one of the most significant figures in 20th-century Congolese and African popular music. His lyrics often explore themes of love, politics, technology, success, infidelity, religion, chicanery, and disillusionment. Through his music and stage performances, he introduced the slower style of soukous known as tcha tcho and popularized a flamboyant fashion subculture called La Sape, alongside Papa Wemba.
