Do Akongo is undoubtedly one of the best songwriters that Quarter Latin has had (writing classics such as Coucou, Kot-Kot, Spaghetti, Automate, Avion, Fois Cent, Sens Inverse). I know he co-wrote SOS with Koffi, I'm curious to know what other songs he co-wrote in Koffi's solo albums.

There is no denying that what Congolese artists today call Rumba is simply the Tcha-Tcho Koffi Olomide. Apart from maybe Karmapa, all the artists have adopted that style. Prior to Koffi to the scene and in most of his early career, Odemba and Fiesta seemed to dominate. Koffi being the great guitarist that he is and working with other great guitarists like Popolipo and Rigo Star gradually imposed the Tcha-Tcho sound. Prior to these three guitarists, we never really heard that. This is what I believe, what do you guys think?

I have noticed that the lyrical and musical compositions have dropped as of late. Everyone is basically singing a different version of the same storyline in terms of songwriting. This begs me to wonder if the big songwriters like Eldorado, Pascal Poba, Do Akongo still sell their songs to the artists.
