That song was fairly well known. Fantastic. Ya Biso Moko is one of my favorite Nouvelle Ecriture albums

Good album arranged by Michel Lorenz.

Michel Lorenz only played on few songs. The most jobs were done by Christian Na Nzenze. Sec Bidens was the arranger of the album, some songs were recorded in his house. It was also the first album of his then 14-years son Leny Bidens to participate on.
According to Ramazani they released the album only in Europe since that it was not a official Nouvelle-Ecriture album but a nzong-zing album with Wemba not wanting the album to fight the succes of 'L.

So it was a cool album avoiding competition?
-
Yeah, there was no promotion for this album.
Lenny Bidens did a great job on his first arrangement, “Soucis”
-
All I know this album was an introduction for the fioti fioti dancers.
-
I've always loved this great, soothing duet from two legends. May they both rest in peace.
-
And I thought Ya Biso Moko was released in Congo as well; it would've been as successful as dans L', if not more successful. Are you sure it's not an official NE album? Oh, and what songs did Michel Lorenz arrange?

All I know this album was an introduction for the fioti fioti dancers.
The album was recorded in 1998 just after having recorded 'L during the long Europe-tour of 9 months they made. The videoclips were recorded after the release of Fula Ngenge. Gaston Amisi tried to re-promote the album in 2003 by putting the videoclips in the same dvd of the Nkila Mogrosso-concert at RTNC. The fioti-fiotis were recruited by Lambio Lambio in Kinshasa when Papa Wemba went to record Fula Ngenge after having performed at Zenith de Paris with Viva La Musica, Le Quatro, Nouvelle Ecriture and Molokai. Lambio Lambio was motivated to prove Papa Wemba a point, because he was dissapointed that Wemba left him behind in Kinshasa for the Zenith-concert. He tought that Wemba would bring him again like 1998 since that he used to train Coco Maria and Mimi Tchivundu for Zenith-concert of 1999 like he did in 1998 for them and the other dancers (Chantal Nioto, Bijoux & Chantal Mogao) who decided to stay in Europe. Lambio Lambio recruited then 12 dancers of the 500 who went for to do a test. The fioti fioti started to have a big impact in Kinshasa due to their tv appearances. Bozi then told it to Papa Wemba about that with Wemba dedicating them in Martina-B' and Alpatchino dedicating them in Fula Ngenge.

Plus Cinq and Soucis.
Yeah, Ramazani, Pompom Miyake & Bendoson said that recently. Also guys of Viva La Musica "Cour des Grands" like Djuna Djanana participated (he animated on Mort Subite), Luciana Demingongo & Joly Mubiala (he had song on the album "Coeur Trouble")

Bozi Boziana and Papa Wemba had a very good friendship
That must be why they did the Le Quatro project with Gina and Evoloko.
-
Papa Wemba had brotherhood relation with his friends from Zaiko.
-
Not only Bozi Boziana, but also Nyoka Longo, Pepe Felly Manuaku & Evokolo Lay. They were family. Back in the 2000s they made an community of ex'Zaiko members of the 1971-1974 generation in Kinshasa and were meeting eachother every month until Wemba's death. They even recorded an reunion-album somewhere in 2011.

Yeah, the idea of Le Quatro-project came from Papa Wemba. Back in 1998, he said that he was inspired by the Rolling Stones doing reunion-concerts and albums. Which him get the idea to come with the Le Quatro to let the old-Zaiko fans relive the 1971-1974 when they were in Zaiko and forming the dangerous AJUMAGI-quartet of Antoine Evoloko, Jules Presely (Wemba), Mavuela Somo & Gina Efonge (replaced by Bozi Boziana in 1973).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPkMcGIPGsk&t=2346s
Before Le Quatro-project they used to perform often together in the 80s and early 90s. In 1983 Wemba recorded some songs with Bimi Ombale & Nyoka Longo. In 1990 he recorded an album with Mavuela Somo to celebrate their reconcilation after Wemba's brutal depature from Yoka Lokole in 1976 and in the late 80s Gina Efonge reunited Wemba, Evoloko, Mavuela & Manuaku for an reunion-album called "Les Surdoues de Clan Langa Langa"

"Po kaka libumu etondaka nsoni te, oyo emelisi ngai eleki ngai"... Been listening to this song from last year when at work. Kolo Rumba na Maitre D'ecole. Beautiful song. Should have had a clip.
Ya Mvulusi96, nani akomaki nzembo wana, Didier Milla?

Je crois Didier Milla, but i'm not sure. I can't also look back to the credits, because I lost the cd.
