A meeting with his son Jean-Yves Mateta, now in charge of the family business, was organised while his older brother was around and carefully listening to our conversations. The encounter helped us strengthen the relationship and we payed owed royalties. This video relates the encounter with Verckys’s family. We first met at the family house in Matonge, where we offered a copy of the Verckys LP to Jean-Yves. After sharing a drink we moved to Vévé Center, the huge 4 floors music complex which the legendary Verckys’s had built to run his musical affairs in one of Kinshasa’s roughest area, shaping him into one of Congo’s most ruthless business man. After a short visit of the building which is in total renovation, we finally sat in the main office at the top floor to discuss the serious matters, where an imposing solid wood table sits amidst exposed awards, archive photos of Mr. Dynamite (as he was dubbed by James Brown himself back in 1974) and his original saxophones
