You do not even need one minute to understand that's extra's true rhythm

That's song is a remix, which was orginally credited to durell Loemba. They sung it in their fara-fara concert against Radja Kula's Station Japana in Kinshasa. It was supposed to be one the Confirmation-Album. But they changed the lyrics of whole song and expect the rhythm and the intro.

from 32:45 min the song dedicted to Bana A.I., I prefer Roga Roga's solo of that version than that done in Kende.

If Extra Musica gained by succes in a short time and was able to record the album "Nouvelle Missles", then it was due to Bana A.I.

from 39:40 min Roga Roga explaining that Extra Musica from the Ouenze-quarter was only performing at funerals without hope for succes or something like that. But then one day a friend called Serge Depo allowed them to perform for T.P. with the dance Moselou. They where then supported by peoples from Ouenze, some little fanclubs and Arnold Wamba Sassou. One day they performed at another funeral and it was there where Bana A.I. discovered them and they invited them to perform for them. After playing soccer Extra Musica went there to perform, but there where some guys who wanted to chase them from that place, when they started to install the instruments. But lucky enough there where some Bana A.I.-members who wanted to hear them. When they started to perform they fascinated the public and from that day rich donors, chlidren from rich families, CEO's and politicians started to discover them trough other concerts and people started to talk about them and they where slowly creating a big reputation as band. Then Bana A.I. asked them to take part of a challenge, which was performing at the mythic Palais de Congres without album. Roga Roga thought that it would be a suicide for Extra Musica. But Bana A.I. assured him that they would be able to mobilize a big crowd and it was also the case. Extra Musica performed without a album at a packed Palais de Congres, where Zacharie Bababaswe's of Variete Samedi Soir from Tele Zaire was present. Their concert was so good that Zacharie Bababaswe proposed them to perform on Variete Samedi Soir in Kinshasa. Roga Roga was scared, but again Bana A.I assured him again and they followed Extra Musica in Kinshasa, where they defeated Muntu Radja Kula and his Station Japana in a fara-fara with Radja Kula being surprised. Extra Musica returned proud to Brazzaville with lot of confidence. Then there was a member of Bana A.I. "Denide", who was intrested in music-business and asked to Bana A.I. if they could support him to produce Extra Musica. At the same time there was a big political tension in Brazzaville with quarters locked by militias of political camps (Ninja's of Lissouba, Cobra's of Sassou Nguesso, Zoulous, etc.) but Denide and Gaya Moprezo took the risk to bring Extra Musica to Brazzaville's recording studio IAD, where they recorded then Nouveaux Missiles. When they released the Nouveaux Missles-album the big succes started for Extra Musica.
