The producer and promoter of the show Angelo Kabila made a comparison between the artists of Zouglou Yodé and Soum Bill.
Although Angelo Kabila acknowledges that these two personalities promoted the Zouglou musical style, he identified the best among them.
At a conference he said: “He is a talented artist who has little left to demonstrate given his remarkable musical repertoire.
Soum Bill is someone who rocked our childhood and who gave us a lot of strength in life.
I always say that Yodé is number 9, but Soum Bill is number 10 for Zouglou.
He is someone and an artist of whom all Ivorians are very proud, and I hope that all lovers of good music will come this Saturday, May 4 at the Sofitel Hôtel Ivoire so that this concert will be memorable. »
This comparison is not likely to frustrate Siro, because the latter himself recognizes the value of Soum Bill.
“For us, Soum Bill is the torch, the very one who inspired us, the entire 96, 97 generation… He is the one who gave us the strength to believe in music.
Soum Bill is a very hardworking person, with character; he likes a job well done.
What fascinates me about him is his diction. When he sings in a language other than Malinké, he is very clear and we understand perfectly what he is saying.
For example, when we sing in Malinké, it is Soum Bill who provides us with the words and diction.
He is someone very strong for us, a friend, a brother, I would even say the captain of the Zouglou. We have a lot of respect for him.
Personally, he is my war buddy. We went through all the battles together, and I greatly appreciate his work, his talent, his character. He is truly exceptional,” he declared.
