Apocalyps on the animation, Japonais Maladi on the lead, Brice Malonga on the keyboards, Champion Djikapela on the drums and Charly Mbonda on the conga's.

Really nice album, along with Jypson's, Titina's, Roi Soliel's, Mirage's, even CNN's and dare I say faux chanteur, Jordan Kusa's albums released during that period ('06-'09). Of course also Droit Chemin & Sens Interdit.

All of QL alumni have put out great albums, it must be said. I think it's a combination of musical education while in QL and access to musical resources (session artists and top studios).

See the problem with the QL alumnis is the fact that they're all in Europe had they stayed in kin I'm certain they'd have had better careers

This period in Congolese music had some good releases. These two tracks were fantastic

Modogo is the guy who was in that song with Fally associé right? In the time of V12 since I had never seen sing solo, I thought he had a soft voice I couldn't believe he was a second voix

Modogo was in fally's prince de southfolk and Ali debs from ultimatum. If I'm not mistaken he made his debut on Magie.

he does music as a session artist i think he participates in quite a lot of albums but i guess he also works aside of that and saves money to fund his own album like most of the europe based artists who came from kin

Man, why it is so hard for Kin based musician to have massive success in Europe?

The fanbase is not as enthusiastic. There are other reasons, but stands out.

Also the days of donor-backed fan clubs are over. Back then they'd help with concert bookings, lodging for band members, and European promotion
