I like the decorations in the studio it really presents the imagery of the album my only fear is those trolling YouTube comments I feel like those guys are stuck in the past.

And Alain Makaba was in Paris at that time?

Burkina Faso not a real member of Big Stars before. It was just that he used to collaborate often with Defao when he formed Big Stars because he used to work in Studio Bobongo and he continued to do session work when Wenge Musica would leave him behind for Europe-tours.

He left Wenge Musica when coming back from the Europe/USA-tour, being mad that he wasn't paid also not giving the promising money to get his car in Congo. So he left and went to join El Paris, but just stayed for a few weeks and joined Big Stars. But private problems made him leave quickly again and being for a moment not active. Then when Wenge Musica came back from the Feux de l'Amour-recordings he rejoined because they needed a lead-guitarist who could replace Japonais.

Wenge Musica on their side when Burkina Faso left had problems, because Fi-Carre started to become big headed and come late or sometimes not even showing up at rehearshals or concerts, which made Patient Kusangila sometimes being forced to play lead. That's the reason why they decided to recruit Japonais.

It was not about the song. It was just that he knew that he was the only solist in the band and wanting taking advantage from it by only showing up if they would pay him money.
