hahahaha koffi's interviews of those days were so funny,either he'd completely make them look like fools when they pissed him off or he'd play with their minds with a big smile the guy did an interview with wazekwa aswell about that topic i guess he said to himself those two are those who were the most advanced in school so they must be the smartest musicians
cnn mboshi and theo unfortunately kind of disappeared too early by 2002 2003 we got less and less from them while other tenorists remained active talking about tenorists i was watching an old video of maison mere in studio here for malewa diego looked a completely different person quite a drastic downfall he's had ever since the combined deaths around him,never been the same
the maison mere one lasted longer so its a bit difficult to totally assess, i d say he started of as of promising tenorist a little bit in kero's shadow given how kero copied bill stage antics while he was shy,then started transformation in his second quartier latin spell after his bcbg and maison mere first experience,and took his transformation to another level in maison mere with werra's coaching so i'd say the maison mere one as he was the finished article but the quartier latin one was pretty good too especially on affaire d etat
I guess he put it on hold,surely struggleing to fund studio or it could be that like in many cases of various groups donors were ordered to stop supporting him so he had no choice than put it on hold he had gone idle for quite a while when we think about it easily 3 years
@archos, as I was reading your post I got to wonder how an artist can order a donor to do or not do something and they comply? I thought it is supposed to be the other way round. The donor being the one with the money should be the one to order the artist around. What power do these artists in DRC have over the people who fund them and should be the ones controlling them?
must be spiritual lol but believe me if koffi jb werra fally ferre even the likes of fabregas tell a donor,i dont want to hear your name mentioned there or there or dont support him or her,in 99 per cent of cases it works only a few stubborn do what they want regardless of whether they lose the bigger star,the last example was fabro and ibrator,many guys who supported fabro rushed to support les contremaitre then it went dry all of sudden when fabro started giving order to boycott them or they'd lose him and there started the contremaitre's struggles yes the donors have money but most bow down in front of musicians,except some who have been in the business for decades and can tell musician to FXXX off he is disagrees about his support to others what happens is that at first the musician is polite almost intimidated then he'd do a song or two for the guy then he builds huge confidence knowing the donor wants his name to be sung so bad and takes control of him there is even cases when the donor have to give his wife or a sidekick to musician for a one shot to win back a musician (happened more in the early 2000's when all the experienced leaders when at their absolute peak)

many of them had affairs or one shot with our stars plus gifts and support in exchange of a lot of mabanga in famous albums and they have no limits you can hear that a woman who is mentioned in the game since 20 years is now the sidekick/sugarmommy of an atalaku of fabregas or robinio some have completed the "grand slam" lol koffi jb werra wemba kester jossart fally ferre
they wanted rid of him anyway,from the moment fally stepped up, i heard from several person that koffi was not too ken anymore on depitcho since fally stepped up and represented what koffi needed handsome,a better singer than depitsho and a more flexible dancer so there was a need of something to force him out especially as him behind much advanced compared to most of the bercy team in terms of standing and experience he was more difficult to handle and was seen as growing a big ego with his improved popularity after zenith olympia ,prior to that even they tried to trick him at another concert giving him a wrong time for plane while koffi has a rule whoever you are if you arrive at airport later than him you wont travel and he came before the hour
many stars would look ice cold or try their best to hide if they appreciate,but papa used to let it go,i remember even on some viva concerts you'd see him jumping behind alpatchino or apocalypse when they did something impressive which reminded him of reddy and kester
yes a first version of doleance was done by jb in ICA studio ,then once in south africa kibens convinced jb to let bogus do it as he already expressed feelings in 5 6 songs if not more indeed the chemin de fer songs were pretty solid,he literally dropped what he saw as the weakest in the group albums, i hear they have already recorded most of it in his studio,he brought jean marc de la vallee to kin several times to monitor recording i remember an old interview of kibens saying that they could release both albums in space of months given how advanced both were education is also a bogus song from his attempted solo album,same with esau co written with mosaka and kibens
