You lot remember him he joined Maison mere from Europe and was in the front cover of Formidable, he recently rejoined Maison Mere after leaving a few years ago and now he’s there dancing with Quartier Latin. My guess is he left after being left behind for Werra’s Grand Paris concert. Loool he’s literally just a continuation of Jf ifonge and BB Jitrois.

Also I hate when Koffi captions or says “en route hippodrome” knowing damn well he’s not bringing the group to Europe. I honestly feel sorry for them.

Haha I clocked that as well - you beat me to punch. JF Ifonge and BB Jitrois crawled so Ngando can run. He’s just there for the vibes.

It’s a shame the Bana Poto guys historically are mid when they join Bana Mboka bands. A lot of the great ones go gospel

As some who closely followed gen 1 and gen 2 of Quartier Latin and knew everyone -- it pains me that I only know 1-2 members of this QL (in theory). The band has no identity now, just a bunch of folks meant to replicate the voices and sounds of the golden era of Koffi/QL

Ngando was present during Grand Paris, he did the lines of Pit Baccardi, when they were performing Kibuisa Mpimpa

There’s a few guys I like for example Cowboy, JR 33, Eric 4sim as for the others I have no idea who they are but there’s potential there

And speaking of Ngando I just found out he’s also an MMA fighter but he has a poor record of 1 win and 5 losses

when i looked at the video i was like is it him or not lol, latino has eric 4 sim,christian ozil,yannick dindo,mayase and jr 33 as the fairly known,plus cowboy narcisse soleil and so on its a shame that koffi is not realising that promoting a band even if its not that great can help because there will be people willing to come to his concert to see musician x,like how people came to bercy for fally jipson and co
everytime he talks about anything else than himself its always album ya cindy album ya cindy entree ya cindy na hippodrome then he's spent the last 10 years saying he has probably the most talented ever latino team without even promoting them,just look at the omba vocals compilation man has numbers of junior embrouille at very best while he was  pretty much the favourite

I don't know, as a Europe guy myself I really don't see any point in going Congo to become a Musician of an Orchestra, any average job in Europe depending on the country could get you from 1500 Euro a month if we talk about Italy to 5k if we talk about Switzerland and these are just average jobs, if you have a specialized degree or a Hugh demand skill you could easily get even 5k in Italy or 10 to 15 K a month if we talk Switzelrand and so on, why would you as a Europe Born Congolese guy would want to be a musician for an Orchestra that if pays will pay no more then 100 dollars a month? You will have to wait for Donors to come to give you money, and with no chance ti have an album group in the neat future? Plus with all the dark arts behind it too? To me is senseless, I understand that with Guy's like Koffi it succeeded but Koffi is a leader, not a simple musician, Ngando, JR, and all of those Europe guys didn't last long in their groups and as a Europe guy I can understand why.

Ngando is no longer full time WMMM, he swings between Kinshasa and Europe. He attended Werrason's concert in London and also Arena Grand Paris using his own resources. He is more like freelance just like Kimbangu, Sarah solo and Musikasika.
