Faustin Mangituka Ntaminimo, professionally known as Bebe Atalaku.

He was born on July 7, 1962. A songwriter and musician, his work with Nono Monzuluku has significantly shaped Congolese music, mainly through his role as an atalaku in Zaïko Langa Langa, a role he pioneered with Monzuluku.

In the sebene instrumental section of a Congolese rumba song, the atalaku serves as the band's frontman, responsible for actively engaging the audience, building excitement, and augmenting the performance with spirited vocalizations and rhythmic chants.
He’s a brother to Ditutala Mbuesa, both former members of Bana Odeon.

With Zaiko, he contributed to various albums such as Nippon Banzai (1986), Pusa Kuna… Serrez! Serrez! (1986), and Subissez les Conséquences (1987)
