The project that Mbuta was talking about is good. Its it will not the same anymore since Lebou Kabuya (RIP) isn't there anymore. The line-up of Sanction had something magic and if they add someone or get someone out its not magic anymore. Champion is one of my favorite drummers, but I prefer even an unknown drummer above him for this project. I don't that Sam is informed that Champion stopped with drumming

Now I see why he often credit Babia for making progess in his singing-skills.CASE CLOSED. Now we can finally end the discussion whether Sam sang in magie or not. I always said he still had his magie voice if you listen to some songs he sang in QL and Academia Papa Na Roissy 6:02 his voice changes to the magie voice Zabalambu it’s a mix of Magie voice and his current voice 3:57 Hello Prince, do you mean he sang in Magie by having vocals or just in chorus? And if he had vocals, which songs from what minute to what minute because I would be very interested to listen to Sam's 'Magie' voice

How much did the dances get paid in Quartier Latin? I'm guessing they don't get a salary since they lived with Koffi and probably recieve gifts from fans during tours.Beniko should have known it was a had idea to record a solo album, didn't he see what happened to Suzuki? How come Fally wasn't suspended or sabotaged when he recorded Droit Chemin? Did he record it secretly? He signed to David Monsoh, I'm sure Koffi could have sued for interference

reading all these stories got me thinking that we need a QL tv series or a documentary this is apart of classic music history and deserves to be put in that form of media i keep hearing how big congolese music was in the 90s and the fact that we havent gotten a documentary series of that era is wild to me what do yall think maybe theres a reason that i dont know of

Papa Wemba went and played with Peter Gabriel where is the documentary about that? Franco used to be at the top of Belgian charts back in the day, just like Stromae in his heyday was at the top of Belgian charts, where is his documentary? Fally despite me not liking him I can't deny his huge impact on branding in the Congolese music, where is the documentary of him? Where are the books of these things? The fact that Ado Yuhe interviews are successful is because there are very very very few insights and information about Congolese artists that's why Ado Yuhe is getting massive success with his concept, it is a step forward, plus most Congolese leaders lack the vision, for example talking about JB Kylian Mbappe made a video saying "Papa Cherie Tshekk" which is massive it is like Micheal Jordan in his heyday shouting out Werra, you have the best footballer in the world (Don't hate me Messi and Ronaldo fans) shouting you out, and how do Papa Cherie capitalize that? By just giving him a small shout out in a generique... I mean make him come to the video, and dance the generique and ask him to promote it or something like that, Congolese artists unfortunately are clueless like that even Serge Ibaka who is not a real singer understood this in his video Kin Brazza by asking to his teammates to dance to his songFrom 2:23 That's exactly why we lost to Nigerians, you see Burna Boy going to the states going to Jimmy Kimmel branding himself and in reflection all Nigerian music benefits, while Fally the time he understood he was weak in English he just left the American market instead of being humble and learn the language. And instead of Congolese musicians being united you see then having stupid and silly beef instead of focusing on being the best Celeo finally understood to leave Beef behind things that Heritier and Fabregas should also realize but no they still bickering like someone outside of Congo cares about their music
Why is it seen as a weakness to let musicians in their band to record solo albums. Also, why does Koffi forbid relationships in his group?
