http://www.cn1news.com/content/addy-loba-babia-ndonga-akufi-sam-et-modogo-ba-leli-na-loyembo
modogo reveals that the day babia was tested in quartier latin he interpreted the song "djino" and crowd made him restart the song twice or three times since he really impressed them and many went on stage to give him money until koffi said they gave him enough money and they could save the rest for him
he adds that their chorus team babia,himself,sam,suzuki,eric tutsi,willy bula was so good, and that he was very sad to hear the news
they both add that he was a very hard worker who could sing all day and who was very easily learning new songs
sam says unfortunately he only did one album with babia which is droit de veto,because babia missed ultimatum and loi( he forgot magie)

Lovely tribute!

oh my goooooooddd we gonna miss that voice,even sam is so impressed when babia does that little " nuance" in champion's song
-
Very sad indeed, I hope his album is released on the market soon,we never got to see it apart from the generique, Socoda need to do something to ensure the proceeds of his works benefit his family.

Although Babia's death has come as a shock, I like the fact that it has brought old QL singers back, sort of a reunion if you like. They are all clearly affected by this.

Yes, most of them have actually been working together for a while, some here in Europe and the others in Angola where Babia was, unity is the way forward.

I like Sams look, why cant all artists look like that ?

Grand chanteur, thanks to whoeve made this blog because at one time he was forgotten but we still remembered him for me had didn't have to sing a whole song to spark an impact on Droit de Veto when comes in Retour Riva you just get a wow factor or that vocal on Prototype 10/10 (R.I.P) tres grand chanteur

Because Sam is Sam and others are others,we can't all be the same.

Sam did three albums with Babia : Magie,V12 and Droit De Veto and i agree with abarambwa their chorus (Magie-V12 era) was the best Koffi ever had. Too bad that in 97 he choose only 4 of them (Ultimatum-Loi era).

I don't know if you that interview. But Sam didn't take part in V12 (despite being represent in the videoclips) and Magie (Where koffi placed the song Shambouyi). Sam did only sung with Babia in Droit de Veto with Babia and also in the unreleased version of Ultimatum which was recorded in Kenya, but lost mysteriously and later re-recorded in Paris without Babia.
That story about Sam and Babia in the elevator did kill me. Ahahahaha
-
He participated in magie but sang completely differently than the voice we are used to
his part on the song magie is "mvula mi o ga makalekela....." and there is his song shambuyi which was completely sung by koffi
if i remember well,sam did not make it to the team who was to usa so his song was done by koffi same for modogo( koffi only went with babia suzuki and willy bula) but luckily for modogo his song was already recorded in kin

He also sing with Babia in Magie (He noticed it later in this interview) and V12 he did his first QLI song "Shambouyi" in Magie and he have 3 or 4 vocals in this album. I didn't know they recorded Ultimatum in Kenya first I was surprised when I heard that because I thought Koffi picked only 4 singers for this album and left Babia,Eric and Willy Bula in Kinshasa.

was the song Dessin Anime recorded in the Magie-era ? or was it from the Kenya recording ?
-
Babia Ndonga Chokoro is another of the many unsung heroes of QL. Loved his voice to death. That melodious voice u only get from the likes of Babia, Eric Tutsi, Chai and Adjani. So sad none of them seem to end well . Could their be something like the 'curse of the voice'?

I heard it was recorded for V12 but Koffi deleted it because Scola Miel left QLI.

That's so true! Erick Tutsi was another one Koffi also messed about, he returned to Quartier Latin was made to mingle with the small boys Koffi was calling 'Les Mineurs' as an ordinary singer so didn't last long and he was out again,no clue where he is now.
