He continued to perform and made his first recording with Anoma Barou Felix in 1970 with the help of Manu Dibango.
In 1972, he returned to his homeland to lead the San Pedro Orchestra. He later formed a band called Les Ziglibithiens and pioneered a musical style called ziglibithy based on a kind of Bété roots music combined with Congolese rhythms]].

La voix limpide d'un monument! Ernesto DJEDJE est inimitable. C'est le propre des génies. Ils apparaissent à l'improviste, tracent une voie indélébile, enivrante, surprennent agréablement et disparaissent comme par enchantement. Ernesto DJEDJE est un digne Gnoantré National, Maitre des sommets et dominateur des vallées! Depuis le 9 Juin 1983 aucune voix ne peut supplanter celle d'Ernesto DJEDJE, aucun pas ne peut imiter celui d'Ernesto DJEDJE! Ernesto est Original, Éternel et Immortel!

Repose en paix, et merci pour cet héritage si riche que tu nous a légué avant d'aller auprès du Père céleste. Tu resteras gravé dans notre mémoire à jamais 😢😢😢😢
Armand Didier Gbaka
Certainement l'une des meilleures chansons du gnoantre national. Rip l'un des plus grands artistes de côte d'ivoire.
Armand Didier Gbaka
L'irroco, l'épervier, le gnoantré national le meilleur artiste de sa génération hélas parti trop tôt. Le 9 juin prochain cela fera 40 ans que tu nous as laissé pour l'au-delà.par la méchanceté des humains. Tu resteras à jamais gravé dans ma mémoire. Oui adieu le meilleur, l'artiste, le compositeur, l'arrangeur, le danseur et le concepteur.
