I was better at it than the others because I was musically talented. And when my words didn't flow well this "supposed great artist" was made fun of, not only by his adversaries but by his own group.

Early on I understood what misery was because I came from a large and a poor family. Worry and fear were with me daily. This music now gives me "joie de vivre" and hope for a better world. In this way my music alleviates my sadness.

I quickly understood that I should belong to a group in order to make the most of my talent. Another opportunity opened up as soon as I became a member of the APESMIR organization (Organization for the Promotion of Health and Education in Rural Communities). It is through this group, during our work in various cities and villages, that I came into my own as an growing artist. Our work dealt with, among other things, the fight against AIDS and malaria, the Guinea worm, hygiene, etc., as well as the promotion of education in the countryside.
