To celebrate his 26th music-career, Papa Wemba performed with Viva la Musica at Aquaboulevard and invited his friend Bozi Boziana and his band Anti Choc as guests

This was really Stino's concert hahahaha. It's a shame that he didn't go back to Kinshasa to launch his solo-career after his departure from Viva la Musica

100 percent agree with you. Notice, it was a semi cold war between Reddy Amisi and Stino Mubi as both men were gaining their own fans on their prospective camps. Papa Wemba was also at top with Pole Position album. Papa Wemba really was happy with Viva La Musica at this moment but unfortunately not long afterwards he would go more and more towards Viva La Musica Nouvelle Ecriture.

Papa Wemba was apparently not happy how both Stino and Reddy would behind his back say to people, that he was profiting from their fame and claiming that Papa Wemba was jealous of them. Also how they would not show up for Kinshasa-trip of 1995 to do those Unibra-sponsored concerts and giving their phones to their wives if he would call them. With Nouvelle Ecriture he seeked revenge and they had also fresh blood, while the musicians of Viva la Musica started to become old. Wemba once said that he was feeling younger when he was performing with Nouvelle Ecriture, in another interview he said that some singers of Viva la Musica weren't singing well anymore in concerts and rehearsals

The combition of Maika Munan's guitar and the keyboard-player during the sebene of the song Apres Tout, made me remind of the original Bambala folklore
