The song made everyone loose their minds whenever it came on - kids and adults alike. They were like the Beatles there at time there. Very local, unpolished sound production, but a continental hit regardless

This song piss President Quetin Moyascko for life. Escepially Fall's vocal about the history of Extra Musica. If I listen to this song, I always think about Kin E Bouge, I don't know why. This was the first time that I heard Doudou Copa singing. Durrel gave him the change to have be the lead singer of his song Kende. Nobody talks about the way Durrel Loemba was excellent in the way the rhythm-guitar. Sonor Digital who replaced was good, but Durrel was on another level. His style of playing rhythm is different that others and it created that 'Extra Musica-sound', which Sonor and Telcel followed.
Aaah Guy-Guy Fall l'Ambassadeur. That guy had to be the leader of that generation, but ...… I will not say it. In this album you can feel that they were trying to get him out the band. Also on those old VHS, while in Nouveaux Missiles was the lead singer in almost every song and in concerts trying to act like the leader of the band.
Regis Touba "Le Grand Tigre". If I listen to Regis I always think about Malage de Lugendo and Nyoka Longo. He putted one song in this album called Angela, which was the only song he put in Extra Musica.

the live version of this song is better. I hope that one day someone would upload the whole live-album of this concert and that of Abidjan '97.

exactly its the same spirit as kin e bouger,the same way of praising themselves and sending warning message

The live version was so powerful. Yea, Durrel Loemba was particularly fantastic.
In their next album "Ouragan", Nkila Mbongo specially created a dance specifically for Ivorians based on one of their popular proverbs ("avec ma bouche tu vas manger piment oooo, avec ma bouche tu vas manger piment oooo... awa te..... quitter là") "with my mouth you will eat the pepper". Of course we famously heard that lat on from JB on the Mpunda generique ;D ;D
Over there the locals used to called Extra's music bachegue or something that

I think Nkila Mbongo is often overlooked as great animator. In his prime (prior to throat issues), he was very charismatic, creative, and a big crowd pleaser

@Matebu, Nkila M'bongo Mazikoli outclassed his main competitor Roberto Ekokota in my view.

That's a bold statement. It's interesting they both had their decline in the same manner (throat issues). Being a falsetto puts lots stress on vocal chords

Naaan, Ekokota was far and far better.
Nkila Mbongo's prime came on the moment when the most animators came from Ecole des Calugistes (Mboshi, Theo Mbala, CNN, Gentamicine, Bidjana, etc.).

I have both Extra Musica concert VHS videos.
I have other Rare Extra Musica concert VHS and DVD.
They are originals with cases.
I can sell them to you if you want the concert.
