I noticed many big-soukous stars of that time where not really great singers.

This is one of the albums I listen to mainly for the abundant quality sebenes showcasing Caen Madoka, Oceane, and Lofombo

Indeed, they weren't exactly known for their compositions either. That's why in the soukous era they all did a sebene introduction, 1-2mins of slow singing, then the rest sebene by skilled guitarists and usually 3615 on shakers/animation to offset things. Once dance music declined, they were the first to disappear.

Aurlus was a decent singer in his very early days, but he never had a natural singing voice, which became noticeable as he aged. Diblo sang on his solo albums, and for how amazing of guitarist he is, his singing is just catastrophically bad
