at 12th minute,fudji was talking about the difficulties as a self produced artist,and  explaining that in kin a whole day of studio can go to 250 euros while in europe it can be like 100 per hour so if you need 8 hours in studio you pay 100x8,its cheaper to record in kin but the problems is that apart from the energy issues which makes them cancel or restart several times on several days what should have been just one session,the way kin is very lively outside impacts recording aswell,for example they'd record they notice that the loud chants of ambulant sellers outside were also captured in the recording process so they have to restart a lot again,which requires funds,until they find the right sound
he also remembered a story when he was with do akongo they recorded and were doing mixing and do noticed that there was those belly sounds of a very hungry person when they were listening to mix and they found out that it was eboa lotin who was hungry  and he gave him money to pay some food and they restarted recording,to show how sensitive the microphones of studios are to noises

yeah bro,it made me think that i was not crazy when on a fair few occasions i hear people voices in the background on some songs i thought i was crazy but now it makes sense,they'd sometimes cover it with loud mabanga but if you have earphones which have decent sound you might hear something even for a second
and the sad thing is that the ministry of culture gets 0.01 or something percent of the money governement allocates to ministries ,and even that is eaten by the people they could have funded studios in calmer areas to make things better for artists but instead its only private studios ,it must be a nightmare aswell for the "theatre" editors recording that much in streets with bana cirage and co
