Tian Corentin, his lifelong friend, can’t believe it: “Together we had a friendship of over 25 years. I was one of his fans. I am very sad to learn of his death. Local music loses another of its monuments.”
However, the artist regrets not having been able to visit him in hospital: “Last Saturday at a party I met his son Solda Nast. It is the latter who informed me of the serious illness of his father who was already in a critical condition in the hospital of Candos. I regret that I could not visit him because I was not in the country.
Tian will remember his friend as a stage animal: “You had to see him on stage. He knew how to make his audience go wild. From Ras Mayul, I will also remember his frankness. He never went out of his way to say what he had to say.
