yeah aridjana went to elparis then early maison mere, the first part of filandu yes is old,the rest was added with help of rasta bob and kibens if i remember well because i remember a couple of lines from the group kibens was in gombe before moving to brazza
Now I understand why the anger against Maradona came from. If I was Werrason or JB Mpiana, I would hate him for life, for what he did during the 24 confrontations against Victoria Eleison. Not being happy with the amount of salary receiving, isn't a reason to behave like that. I believe that it's just because of Makaba being there that he was still in Wenge 4x4. I would like to hear Maradona's version.
I was surprised to hear that the song Filandu being actually an old song from the late 1980s. I already a feeling that Eve Sukali wasn't an arrangement coming from Makaba, when hearing the sebene. It's crazy how such talented artists that join bands that breakthrough, only to leave after quickly after it, always dissapear from the radar. It must be frustrating to see the main solist of the band play your arrangements and creations. It make sense why Makaba was letting Maitre Fi-Carré playing Ave Maria during concerts, when they came for Europe-tour 1992. I wonder if the song Dady Bitodi was arranged by Ntumba or Aridjana. Is Aridjana the same guy that later joined Wenge Maison Mère briefly in the beginning and spent a short time in Shora Mbemba's Super Choc ?
Who's Kinsala Fulgance ? Is he Titina's courtjester ? I noticed that he has always to attack other drummers. Nobody talked in this interview about Titina. I remember once uploading a video about Djudjuchet being mad about what was going on in Kinshasa and he suddenly started to insult him and saying that Titina being a better drummer than him
In this interview Elvis claims that it were their idea to let Pepe Kalle get youngsters to appear in Cocktail-clips, after seeing Nouvelle Ecriture having success with 'L. But people later saying that their time is over, informing them that Lofombo recruited musicians and that they were secretly rehearsing in Binza.
I knew that Pépé Kallé performed with Delta Force, Lofombo and Djuna at Stade des Martyrs for the event Megaconcert 'Tokufa Pona Congo'. But I didn't knew that it performed with them without Empire Bakuba knowning, that it created problems and Pépé Kallé asking for forgevines about it do Empire Bakuba-bandmembers (Elvis, Doris, Dilu and co), when not getting the result he wanted. It's the first time that I am hearing this version. So Dilu was probably right by saying in a different interview that they hadn't accepted the Delta Force singers yet and they had to do tests to officially accept them. I want to hear Doris, Boeing and Papillion versions about it to compare it to Lofombo's
I don't see Popolipo and Do Akongo joining Empire Bakuba, which was down at that time before releasing Cocktail, while Quartier Latin was enjoying huge succes in Africa with Loi and the bandmembers getting the best salary of Congolese bands at that time. It's because of these reasons that Beniko quickly rejoined Quartier Latin as Zaiko struggled to pay him the same amount he was getting when being with Koffi Olomidé. The same with Luciana Demingongo, which 35+ years based Europe musician that has a huge cv would except to leave France and his family to join a Kinshasa-based band instead of forming his own band ? Back then Luciana was still huge with the success he enjoyed with his first solo album (1993) and the track Sang Bleu from his second album of 1996, as well the reputation of Nouvelle Generation and the leadership was carrying to let the band survive after the many departures and Fafa de Molokai's imprisonment as Mukulu said

Loool I’m actually done with this fool. The worst part is the musicians are in no position to create they’re own academia because they don’t have the star power that the first and second generation had. Even the Joss Jitrois era had way more star power.
The only thing that could work is if Jr33 cowboy eric 4sim made their own group and spoke about how Koffi favoured Cindy over them it might create sympathy for them and they might get support from the warriors but it wouldn’t last long term
one of the last times koffi did/allowed an individual presentation of quartier latin members,more than 10 years ago from 1H20
He actually did a presentation in 2022/23 right after légende came out when they were singing femme and tshiboless he presented each singer before allowing them to sing.
