Jesus christ the instruments on this song is sex to my ears Lebou Kabuya murdered this. our music has really falling off. I miss the old rumba/sebene days, I'm tired of the 17 rumbas/1 Generique style.

Oh my childhood band! The way the engineer has mixed this song as well as every other one on the album! I feel like I'm at a football stadium! No wonder it sounds fantastic! I'm quite disappointed that 'Viagra' downgraded in quality though.

Ah, Quartier Latin Academia!!

This is the group that Showed Koffi Dust. There was fire after this album came out.
Unfortunately the group could not sustain the momentum and got distracted and let outside interference mess them up.

Such a talented lot they were. I still play this album when I go for a long drive.

Thanks for the reminder. Time to pick it up and listen to the other tracks as we hunker down.

Man this really is my childhood, I remember when I heard this album when I was sick, around 2000 or 2001, and I was mesmerized by the sound of the album, Personally Viagra was a flop in terms of sound, I wasn't a fan of the album, I've yet to to find a song I like from the album. Who was on bass? Patty?

Same here! I first saw the clips through a bootleg compilation that I have of Academia and Koffi's Bercy on VHS back in the day! And I definitely agree with you on your point in "Viagra" despite the fact that there were more Quartier Latin veterans on the album like Beniko and Suzuki 4x4 after "Décompte Final" did a mpiaka.
