About EUGENE MAKUTA (written by Mfumu Vata)
Eugene Makuta used to sing in a band from Matadi and when Big Stars came there in 1994 to perform they did the first partIt is there that Defao discovered him and him joining Big StarsIt took a bit time for him to have a place, but he became a key-member when Defao returned alone from the Europe-tour in 1995Makuta made his name known when did a duet with Defao in the rumba song Pis-Cass from the Amour Interdit album
In 1997, he participated to the Sala-Noki album where his vocal in Defao's classic song Sala Noki had a lot of succes, him appearing in numerous video clips of that album and the albums that followed on sites like youtube (Copinage and Tremblement de Terre) also helped a lot by gaining popularity
In the album Bana Congo he sung lead in 3 songs (I am not sure if all songs were credited to him)The songs were Faux Croyante, Lomas and Mambu na TembeLike most members of Big Stars that went on tour in US, he preferred to settle in UK, when Defao decided to disband Big Stars in 2000
