Rien qu'à écouter la mélodie pour comprendre que cet artiste est irremplaçable. Ton rappel à dieu nous laisse entrevoir une tristesse. Repose en paix doyen.

Adieu le père géniteur du Ziglibithy. J'attires l'attention de nos artistes actuels.Trop de tapage inutiles n'entraînent à rien. Reconnaissons à papa Djedje, le mérite de l'Afrique entière et la CI en particulier. C'est un don de Dieu, vu sa taille(1m98),sa forme, sa coupe chevelure, ses favoris. Sa manière inégalable de danser.IL a marqué son epoque et rester sans successeur . En gros la CI a encore à refaire.
