Title: IT’S THE 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF QUARTIER LATIN’S « MAGIE »

Arguably the most iconic QLI album to date. I remember this being the album of every party during the ‘94 holiday season. Truly an international concept, with songs being recorded in France, Studio IAD, and Cue Studios in Virginia USA, with some the Magie clip partially being recorded in New York

Babia Ndonga RIP (to this date I feel like this shouldn’t have been sebene at the end. It just seems out of place with the nature of the song

My favorite Quartier Latin album till this day. It reminds me of my childhood.

I wish I was older enough to witness the sucess of this album. But I heard that the album was not well received at his release. Is it true ?

What was your reaction the first time y'all heard the generique and the other songs for the first time ?

 Masterful album peak era Koffi and QL meslian is the most creative sebene on the album one of those projects i wish i was alive to witness the release of, and the best song is either Shambouyi or Sylvekou. if koffi aint gonna do anything special i hope some of the former QL memebers release a unreleased song from the album

One of if not the best Quartier Latin album, there were no bad songs in this album. Chorus wise this is by far the best Quartier Latin album. Sans Suite, Detresse, Sylvekou are among my favourites
