extra musica remain to this day my favorite Congolese band. what made them great was that their generique were not long and tedious with too many interchange like those of Werrason and Fallys of the world. extra musica generique tend to be 7 to 8 minute long with great sebene and danceable tune . even their rumba were short and had a sebene at the end. i wish the other Congolese band would use the extra musica formula instead of having long genereique with long boring rumba songs . its why extra musica remain very popular in Africa and their music are always played in African parties
Thank you Archo for a nice story, you have pointed out that only, JB, Titina and Roberto participated on Pile Au Face, now who was the teno atalaku, i thought it was Caludgi.
I found it really stupid that they sacrificed Blaise Kombo, was it really necessary to do it?Tutu Calugi had really diffculty to adampt himself as an atalaku in the beginning, he was really a 'faux animateur' maybe that's also the reason that he didn't participate in the album Anges Adorables. I'm hearing sometimes that Wenge not could perform or releasing albums in 1995, because of an conflict with Saddam Hussein like Koffi & Wenge El Paris in the past. But what was the reason of the ban? I'm sure that Wenge would not split if Mobutu still had the power in Zaire.

I'm sure that Wenge would not split if Mobutu still had the power in Zaire.the ban came because of a bit of conflict they had over girls,even adolphe was seriously beaten because he was the one being with that girl saddam wanted he could have jailed the whole group but its their mother who really appreciated jb and werra who avoided it and years after they could release it
Archos apart from big egos of jb and werra, i think tribalism also led to the break-up of wenge 4 x4 ?
