Title: IS BONDO MANIA THE MBOKA LIYA OF CONGO BRAZZA?

Man has played in almost all the bands except Extra Musica up until now. What happened to the G7 band, I remember 1998-2000 they also came on the scene with force but disappeared as soon as they came. Any notable members still active apart from Bondo Mania?

What happened to his Nouvelle Image? It looked promising especially that guy doing the animation with long hair.

My favourite track from the Tapis Rouge album. That interchange starting at minute 4:49 with Papy Bastin shouting "oyoki Bondo mania?" Beautiful rumba. Was Papy Bastin the author/composer of Sans Hypocrisie?

He also participated to the Generation Univesal album pyramide. How come, Kerson Saddam wasn't credited a song in the album despite appearing here on the generique as one of the leaders alongside Rossen Yaourt, Yellowman and Typhoide?

Maman Congo is a beautiful rumba Rossen Monstre. Claudia Sassou is also like Tabou Fatou with when it comes to musicians composing beautiful rumbas to her name.

Syvain Mambo is another nice track from the album. Its sad that if you are not a big name in the two Congos, no matter how much your music is it will just be listened within the countries borders.
