We were really spoiled with these generiques from 2013 all the way to 2016 especially from the 5th generation who hardly have done Sebene songs compared to the previous generations. From 2017 to now the Generique departments have gotten bad and ndombolo is practically dead. I was in Kin in 2014 and Original took kin by storm and they were still playing the Power generiques, Mascara took the world by surprise, Ferre’s seben brought ferre back in that department, and Libres Parcours was a breath of fresh air because the 3 Generiques were a success and the album had Sebene songs which was rare and it still is. I thought after libres parcours other artists would follow suit but they didn’t, I think if Libres Parcours was a Fally solo album other people would’ve followed him to do Sebene songs again. Even Fabregas who was probably the strongest in that department has seriously gone down big time in generiques compared to before.
I saw an interview where Wazekwa wished Ferre good luck for stade de martyrs but he won’t say his name again. So what happened between the two whats the issue?
I just realised that since Somono left Koffi in 1999 there wasn't really an atalaku that danced until Gessac came in 2007. Brigade and Kerozene danced in a couple of clips in affaire d'etat and effrakata but they wasn't really dancing in concerts like the way Somono or Gessac were and they were also doing solo dances. Somono danced in all the clips he was featured from V12 all the way to Loi. Another thing was after Mboshi and Somono left Koffi slowly stopped using his atalaku's for clips, CNN appeared in 3 clips in Attentat in force de frappe he didn't appear.

John Scott could've been next in the list if Koffi didn't dump him so quickly in favour of Kerozene, because he was dancing at concerts and was a great dancer, it could've been a battle between him Fally and Bouro if he stayed. It's still so strange the way he got rid of him quickly when he came to replace Ocean and Koffi was promoting him everywhere even when he went to Europe to prepare for Parc des princes he was promoting John Scott at a press conference.
Back in November last year he announced in an interview that he was going to retire from drumming right after performing as a guest at Fally’s Stade des martyrs. Here he is performing with Alain Mpela in London back in February.
This guy had actually a lot of vocals especially for the post fally era. I didn't realise he was also doing animation (to be fair I don't listen to koffi post BEK only legende was the exception). He has more vocals then other guys that actually made history in latino, I was never a fan of his but hopefully he can go far with his career with the right backing and determination he can be on the same level as But na filet at least.
She was asked on her IG when was the last time she spoke to her dad and she replied saying she blocked him since October and it’s her choice and it’s good like that since too much has happened, everyone lives their own life.
Just a bit fun… what are some of the biggest missed opportunities in the genre? We can date all the way from Franco to now? It can be anything from albums, tours, groups, features
Quartier latin at its absolute finest! 2:45 always gets me hyped! Brigade and Kerozene had amazing chemistry that people forget they only participated in 2 albums together as a duo. Ya Fofo! 3:24
