Man, JB used all the top Paris studios of the time for TH - I wonder how much the studio time cost

Always interesting how almost all the albums of that era had the technical backing of Ambroise Mvoundi and Philippe Guez (also for other albums Manu Lima, Maestro Souzy Kasseya,Djujuchet, Rgigo Star, Sec Bidens, & Maika Munan). Those guys were masters of great acoustic quality

 the studios of th cost something about 60000 which at the time was quite a big standard  set along with kibuisa and effrakata

Hahahaha just because Burkina Faso left they only wrote his last name (his real name is Vincent Kasongo).


TH is an excellent album, but I don't like the drumsound of the generique and Mohammed Kaniasy

The acoustics of the drums on Mohammed Kaniasy were great, why didn't you like it?

This was the time I used to polish JB Mpiana's shoes and water his gardens at his home. TH was literally in my blood and I used to hold all of his CDs, DVDs in my arm pits all day long. Now all that has fizzled out in thin air. How things change.

Let it end, BCBG is suffering the fact that they have no new music on the market.

Because it sounds so bad. It sound like those of Studio Meko in Kinshasa in the 90s. I guess that wanted to correct that in Internet with an excellent drumsound.

JB Mpiana does not realise that Kibense from day one has killed his music in studio. Kibense is useless. And JB must have too much money. I wonder why no one poaches Fusee and Tolbert as these two are the only reliable artists in JB at the moment.

They get paid well to play occasionally, whereas in some other brands they'd be paid poorly to play at concerts a lot

Money matters, how you are treated by the boss and others, not the use and discard method, general fairness etc

He should take advantage of the upcoming holiday season because he said the album is finished, all he needs to do is release it.
