I’ve never seen Burkina Faso playing the seben from the start until the end. He always came with an impro after the yungama-signature.

It was Makaba in studio and at the concert you have posted above, you can't miss Makaba's style on his Steinberger guitar infact he goes to the usual corner for the soloist on stage whilst Burkina Faso if that's him on stage is in the rhythm guitarist's position next to the bass guitarist.

Yeah, I know that it was Makaba playing lead, Mbokaliya rhythm and Sunda the bass in that concert. I posted it, because I wanted to compare it to the concert they gave at Palais du Peuple which Philemon Allamadi uploaded, but I can't find the link anymore.

So the sebenes of Titanic were shared by Makaba who played RDC, Champion Kapangala, Barakuda, Likala Moto & Omba. Burkina Faso "Mbokaliya" who played lead on Titanic, Proces Mambika & Serge Palmi. With the rest (Liberation & Tour Eiffel) being left to Maitre Fi-Carre Mwamba ?

Since we have no credits on who played what iinstrument on what song,just by listening, i believe the leads on Titanic were played as follows

Titanic - Burkina Faso
RDC- Makaba
Barakuda - Makaba
Omba - Makaba
Proces Mambika - Makaba
Likala Moto - Makaba
Tour Eiffel- Fi carre
Champion Kapangala-  Makaba thoough could have been Burkina Faso on lead and Makaba on bass
Liberation- Burkina Faso or Fi Carre.
Serge Palmi- Burkina Faso

Can some one tell me how Pentagon songs was distributed among the soloists? I know there was Makaba who has already started living in Europe, Burkina Faso and Ficare Mwamba.

Pentagone fi carre
no comment makaba
 dizoizo makaba
djodjo ngonda ficarre
etepe buengo burkina faso
coco madimba  alain makaba
daddet   alain makaba
filandu       ficarre
cometes de l'an 2000 Kusangila the whole guitars in the singing part and ficarre the sebene( it was one of those songs not easily given to a "not too important" member so they were not as involved as in some other songs
la verite     burkina faso creation played by ficarre
heritier itele ficarre

ficarre played more than makaba for the simple reason that album was prepared in africa without makaba and jb werra and co had trust in ficarre the way he coped with makaba's absence

Thank you Archo, I didn't know that my favourite Wenge generique was created by Ficare, the old man is so underrated, what about Feux de Lamour? is it true that Ndombolo ya Solo was played by Japonais Maladi?
