Was Rond Point and Droit de veto the only 2 videos made for the album?
I've seen Shopping lol that's after Depitcho left but if Rond Point and Droit de Veto are the only 2 videos made for the album why was that?
-
At the time, Academia was being formed so there was no way that the rest of the videos can get done. There was also an official music video for Sens Inverse!

I see. Is Sens Inverse even on YouTube?
And did the Academia crew record some vocals on the album before leaving or they left before the songs got recorded ?

I believe that Koffi was going to make clips for the rest of the Droit de Veto album, but he changed his mind when part of Quartier Latin left the band. Producing no clips was his way of spiting Academia since he didn't want them to reap the benefits of the video's success, particularly since Mboshi, Bouro and Pathy Bass had songs on the album. This also explains why he only released excerpts of the Zenith 98 show alongside these two clips (and Sens Inverse, which had a montage of moments from Zenith) and not like 2 hours of the whole thing.

Ohhh I see. So they left after the release of the album?
If it was before the release of the album, Koffi would've took their songs off lol

The Academia crew left after DDV was released in late 98!
I'm unsure about the video but I think someone posed it with the whole DDV/Zenith 98 clips

They did. In case one of them planned to leave after the album's release, that guy's pretty smart. Look at what happened to Lacoste when he left Maison Mere in 2000 while Werra was working on Kibuisa Mpimpa. Vocals replaced by Aimelia and Adjani, backing vocals almost completely removed.
Then again, the seeds for Academia were sown in early 1999, about a couple of months after Droit de Veto dropped. So one of the guys may have decided that enough was enough during these months.

^ That's the one!

Thanks guys. That's a shame, we missed out on seeing how the clips would've looked like.
I remember I was confused when I saw the Rond Point clip with JF Depitcho etc
Then there was that rehearsal to Droit de veto I think and Bouro Mpela was in that video. I can't remember well but I know I saw Bouro in the clip. I don't think he was in the official clip but I deffo saw him in one of the videos playing that.
Or i might be mistaken.
-
Bouro Mpela wasn’t there. It was Alain Kabobo who was dancing like a monkey during the rehearsal and attacking Bouro.

Ohhhhhh loooiol wait. No way. I've seen people say that's Bouro Mpela, when they're showing his dancing skills but it wasn't him.
Wow. Where is Alain Kabobo now?

They did not left on the same time. Lebou, Pathy, Bouro and Somono stayed in Europe. Modogo & Sam went with Quartier Latin to Africa and performed in Zimbabwe and Tanzania. Then they managed with help from Kayembe Chez Ntemba to get back to Paris. Mboshi went with the remaining part to Kinshasa, performing at Stade des Martyrs and Intercontinental with Quartier Latin (+ Jf Ifonge, Jipson, Eric Tutsi and Rocky Blanchard) along with the new recruited musicians. You can see him even in the video posted, presenting CNN. Then he left and with help of Jhymmy Mukengelenge (who was then the manager of Academia), he went back to Paris.

The Droit de veto clips (Rond Point, Droit de veto) are some of the worst and most unprofessional clips I've ever seen. You can literally see the other cameramen in the shot it was just terrible, no effort made.

Loooooool, I didn't like the quality of the video and the sound.

Even by Koffi's standards, both videos felt primitive.
