The Olympia is a renowned music venue in Paris, France, and performing there is considered a major achievement for any French-speaking artist. Koffi Olomidé's show at the Olympia provided him even more international exposure and recognition. It also helped to elevate his status as a prominent figure in the African music industry. Koffi was the third Congolese artist after Tabu Ley (1970) and Abeti Masikini (1973, 1975 & 1986) to perform there. The show also opened the door for Congolese artists to perform over there and other mythic musichalls of Paris.

It's so sad that there are no videos on TV5 about the reportages M6 and MCM Africa about this event. I wonder why even Koffi's team doesn't have any BTS videos of those big events in Koffi's career.

The best olympia in Congolese music history and arguably one of if not the best show in a mythic hall in our culture, that team was just outstanding.
