At that time Adolphe was proudly saying on tv that he would be the first musician to perform in the Schengen Area, announcing a concert for 30 August 2003 at LSC. But on last minute he saw his request for visa's being denied and his spokemen Mbonzo attacking Koffi Olomidé on tv. This made Adolphe going to Europe on his own and getting musicians like Didier Anaconda, Chibida Dumbu and co that stayed in Europe the previous tour to perform.

his name is arme lourde,if i am not mistaken he actually went to koffi not too long after but acide won against him being backed by fally(a lot of people might not know it but the generique of monde arabe's conception was started by fally acide and one friend of fally who was muslim who gave them ideas,thats why fally once said in his recent interviews where he was out there hitting back a bit at criticism na latino wana tozalaka kaka 2 oyo tozoya na ba generiques pe evandi nga na muana mayi mosusu azo solola mua genre na kotanga kombo na ye te,talking about soleil)

Some people dont like Gessac and Acide. But I think that Arme Lourde is worser. He doesn't animate but just screams. At that time I was used to hear to hear the duo of Washington and Diego and felt like he was messing the animation up when he just joined.
I wonder if he's from that generation of youngster not being natural musicians. But just having the dream to get in Europe, starting screaming at schools early in the morning to open/train their voice and braid their hair.

Still unbelievable how Felix Wazekwa passed Adolphe Dominguez in no time while in 2001 there even some people claiming that Adolphe passed Werrason, others seeing them on the same level of popularity. Here Wazekwa already passed him with Yo Nani and everything on Adolphe's side going wrong. Adolphe putting all his power in attacking Koffi Olomidé & Werrason and praising JB Mpiana.
About QL, Soleil once said that he gave Ridens Makossa a small guitar parition for Attentat when CNN animates "ya bolite ya kupesaka maman na bana". This all shows how important musicians were for the succes of songs and generiques. Bandleaders haven't any right to appropriate all the succes to themselves and betitle when bandmembers leave or punish them asking a better salary. It so selifsh how all bandleaders write auteur-compositeur:... on their name to generique while everybody know that they didn't come with cries nor guitare paritions, etc.
I remember reading on Ivorian website, Fally saying once that he created the whole cheograpy of Piwawa with Bouro Mpela (not mentioning his name) and having created that rhythm/transition before Brigade comes in with 'Kosakana na Mopao-te" adding that he had to do everything on his own, that he wasn't paid for his work and Koffi used to mistreat them. The way he said sounded really arrogant like nobody was able to come with something in Quartier Latin.
