The missing parts. First video the intro Marie Paul explaining how they still performed to the make the public happy despite being tired arriving the same day at 5 AM (the white next to him kills me) and the dancers talking about their upcoming event at Theatre Gymnase Marie Bel.
The second video is the dancing part of Molangi ya Malasi
People are only saying Danger De Mort & Everybody are classics simply because the standard and quality of music these days have dropped big time.
For me personally a classic album is if there’s no skippable tracks or at least 1/2 songs I can skip. There’s a lot of albums that become classics due to how it’s aged over time and also the commercial success is a factor as well as long term impact. Internet by JB Mpiana is an amazing album but as you said there’s some songs that I can skip ( I still don’t understand how they messed up the générique. When I look at Koffi his album run from 1990 to 2003 were all classics people debate about Attentat but again that album has aged better over time.
Would you consider A La queue leu leu a classic because it wasn’t as well received compared to Maison Mères previous projects.
Danger de Mort is a hopeless album and in the last 30 years would only consider Ultimatum as a classic album by Koffi. As for Werra, i actually prefer "A la Queue leu leu" to "Operation Dragon". However, the former suffered because Operation Dragon raised expectations to an unprecendent level that Werra couldn't reach. It doesn't help matters that "A la Queue leu leu" was released in Dec, 6 months after the back to back zenith concert where all the songs had already been introduced. Thus, it suddenly looked like old material. In general, like Koffi's "attentat", you release an album and then do a mega concert rather than a mega concert and then an alum with the same material
Koffi got a lot of classics. I would say his last is even BEK.
The Christmas LSC is one of my favourite Quartier Latin concerts. I love this lineup but live wise it wasn't my favourite lineup just only because of the chorus! I prefer the Bercy lineup because it's also similar to this one but the chorus was better, or even the Danger De Mort line up because it's the perfect blend of everything from the past Quartier Latin line ups, the looks, the chorus, the maturity, and experience.
An all-star team lineup that could match up with anyone past or present:
My favorite post Bercy Koffi concert was LSC Christmas 2002. The chemistry this team had during the Effrakata to ADE period was magical - the success of Effrakata gave them so much momentum and confidence. Sometimes in the smaller venue concerts you get a better sense of the raw talent of a band
