1 GENERIQUE ZEBUKA
lead guitar tolbert solo
rhythm guitar french ekembe
bass kalo bass
keyboard jeremy kitubu and cedric guezula
animation gentamicine lisimo pajo kaluila and fusee de guerre
percussions zoulou mbonda and carlito
drums seguin mignon maniata
in the tradition of the new bcbg rhythm very influenced by bana odeon and zaiko vibes,the zebuka animation itself being the creation of levieux mavuzi,blanchard mosaka's brother who also gave the same animation to doudou kibinda
8.5/10 most animation except from the zebuka one being known for years,great sound improvement from soyons serieux generiques
2 50 ANS (JB MPIANA TSHITUKA aka PAPA CHERI)
Lead guitar tolbert solo
rhythm guitar zygal
bass kalo bass
keyboard jeremy kitubu and guezula
chorus quado atshuda seguin jdl
percussions zoulou mbonda and carlito
drums seguin mignon maniata
song written by pascal poba several years ago and modified by blanchard mosaka,very meaningful song about an old man who has finished class but could not find job hence could never upgrade his life,a rare song of another topic than love
I would put 10/10 if not for the shoutouts at the end,those people are among the main responsibile for situations like that so i make it 9/10
3 ELGA( JB MPIANA TSHITUKA)
lead guitar tolbert solo
rhythm guitar tolbert solo and french ekembe
bass kalo bass
keyboard jeremy kitubu and guezula
percussions zoulou mbonda and carlito
chorus by nono fudji quado atshuda josky and interventions of kibens in second part
written by vigas and blanchard mosaka for jb mpiana,the first song ever to leak from album,although with a little missing part at the end which should have originally been done by the female dancers of the group
typical bcbg salsa/charanga first ever jb mpiana song to be added to the project since 2013/14
9/10 solid song whose clip was among those teased years ago
4 RAISONNER(JB MPIANA TSHITUKA)
lead guitar tolbert solo
rhythm guitar zygal
bass kalo bass
percussions zoulou mbonda
chorus by judol,atshuda,josky and avion
drums seguin mignon
since i already knew 50 ans and elga from the concerts,raisonner was the real first balle de match song to discover and i must admit that it stuck to me from the first impression i believe i even restarted two times midway before reaching the end
a relaxing type of song on a way back to home,which was in contention to be the next jb mpiana papa wemba feat in chemin de fer along with two other songs,papa wemba even receives a nice tribute at the end of the song
9/10 i can see it being one of the main concert hits of the album
5 ABED(JB MPIANA TSHITUKA)
lead and rhythm guitar tolbert solo
bass kalo bass and programmed bass
chorus by the viva la musica female chorists
rnb song for abed achour,i will be honest not the song i have relistened to the most,written by eldorado for jb mpiana i will say 6.5/10
i think our artists have it difficult to really find which type of songs to do for abed he still does not have a proper hit from all the songs done for him
6 LULENDO( GUELOR BOFILI AKA ATSHUDA DIEGO MILITO)
lead guitar maitre ficarre
rhythm guitar zygal
bass kalo bass
percussions zoulou mbonda and shaker by carlito
chorus by rio de janeiro,nono fudji,atshuda gessan zakoko with a little intervention of jules kibens

7 BOLOGNA(JB MPIANA TSHITUKA)
lead guitar tolbert solo
rhythm guitar tolbert solo and french ekembe
bass kalo bass
percussion zoulou mbonda
chorus by propheta,michigan,atshuda hugo boss and jb mpiana
originally destined to be a song of jb mpiana introducing bana boma(hugo and propheta) on an album after the primus experiment,evolved into a solo after the progressive demise of the two guys
beautiful guitars throughout the songs and well sung by jb 8/10
8 GENERIQUE JUMP
lead guitar tolbert solo
rhythm guitar french ekembe
bass kalo bass
drums blaise esabe
animation by chaleur and fusee de guerre
a generique being used for years as one of the female dancers choreography song in concerts especially abroad

lead guitar tolbert solo
rhythm guitar zygal
bass jossart bass
drums seguin mignon
keyboards guezula and jeremy
chorus quado,modashow,atshuda,kibens with little intervention of judol on some quado parts
another of the almost fully known songs already prior to release,originally destined to chemin de fer but dropped into the balle de match project
fits all the standards of a viral rumba for congolese fanbase,a mix of easy lyrics,a bit of sensuality,with a nice lead guitar at the end aswell 9/10
10 ERU(JB MPIANA TSHITUKA)
lead guitar tolbert solo
rhythm guitar zygal
bass kalo bass
drums seguin mignon
keyboard guezula and jeremy
percussions zoulou mbonda and carlito
chorus jules kibens rio de janeiro jdl
another oldschool rumba,very influenced of the style of los nickelos and african jazz,the "little brother of bea zodeguem" like some of my friends who are fans of bcbg call it
8/10 really refreshing to listen to an album not overdominated by programmed music
good relaxing song

rhythm guitar tolbert solo
bass kalo bass
keyboard guezula and jeremy
percussions zoulou mbonda
chorus jules kibens rio seguin jdl
the original song which was sung by mignon abraham and bana boma being stolen by abraham for his solo projects,maire ficarre had to come with another song and he picked this one
nice modern odemba song with jb using different voices 8/10

lead guitar tolbert solo
rhythm guitar zygal
bass kalo bass
keyboard guezula and jeremy
percussions zoulou mbonda and carlito
drums seguin mignon
animation gentamicine lisimo fusee de guerre and pajo

bass kalo bass
keyboard guezula and jeremy
percussions zoulou mbonda
drums seguin mignon
chorus jules kibens rio jdl atshuda nono fudji

bass sunda bass
percussion kele mbonda and seguin mignon
chorus mignon abraham quadro seguin and jdl in first part,then nono fudji rio jdl atshuda kibens
vocals of jb mpiana judol jules kibens and didi kalombo
written by songwriter antimo but reworked by jules kibens,originally lead by nono fudji but reworked by atshuda after fudji's departure,typical seguin odemba song being a strong ok jazz fan he always tries to replicate their music whenever he releases rumbas
7,5/10
16 QUADO(JULES FERDINAND NSIMBA MAKIESE AKA JULES KIBENS)
lead guitar tolbert solo
rhythm guitar zygal
bass sunda bass and kalo bass
keyboard guezula and jeremy
percussions seguin
chorus rio kibens fudji then quado rio kibens jdl
originally sang by quado but replaced by josky zola,having to sing higher than his natural range,typical complicated jules kibens song,initially a traditional rumba turned into some strange rumba rnb pop mix i would say 7/10 but minus 0.5 for the autotune when josky could not hit high notes
17 PAPY KIBONGUE(JB MPIANA TSHITUKA)
Lead and rhythm guitar tolbert solo
bass kalo bass
keyboard guezula and jeremy
drums and percussion seguin mignon

drums seguin mignon
chorus jdl nono fudji rio then jdl rio seguin fudji quado and kibens towards the end of the singing parts ,vocals by jb mpiana
animation by fusee de guerre pajo and gentamicine
3 identities in one song a start like victoria eleison then a transition to bonioma folklore certainly being influenced by jdl being a former dancer of gekiko(traditional group of young people taking part of some of the mobutu events) and the wenge4X4 rhythm
i would have given 8 or 8.5 but that electric drums i dont think i will ever fully love a sebene with it so its minus 1,also because of that annoying girl voice kibens does when doing chorus animation(the nzoto mabibi one for example)
19 CHOISY MATATA(JULES KIPATI NGOLO ATHOL AKA ZULEMA YAYA)
lead guitar patou solo and tolbert solo
rhythm zygal
bass sunda bass and kalo bass
percussions by zoulou mbonda
chorus by propheta,mignon abraham,didi kalombo,josky,metro,zulema,vocals by didi kalombo and josky replacing hugo boss
THE first ever balle de match song,which was basically a compensation for zulema missing out on soyons serieux,very good song from a talented writer,he "assaulted" the microphone like his idol reddy amisi said 9/10
20 IYO LELA(CEDRIC NTUMBA AKA CEDRIC GUEZULA)
lead guitar tolbert solo
rhythm french ekembe
programmed bass and kalo bass
percussion by zoulou mbonda
drums by blaise esabe
chorus by quado judol atshuda judol,vocals by zulema
originally a fudji and abel de charme then a fudji atshuda song it became atshuda and josky,one of the early balle de match songs,another song with a bit of tropical west indies influences merged into rumba
a solid 7/10 with an extra 0.5 for zulema's vocal what a powerful start of vocal
21 OCEAN DE MIEL(JB MPIANA TSHITUKA)
lead and rhythm guitar tolbert solo
keyboards by cedric guezula and jeremy kitubu
programmed bass and percussions
another "son" of a former song,for instance dis moi amour,slow song in french for danielle sassou from denis christel who seems to try to reconquer her/keep her happy after nathalie bumba taking the edge
i would give it a 7 but +1 for jb's intelligent singing

drums seguin and programmed drums
chorus by fudji rio kibens and jdl
