Miracles would have been definitely a banger if Bill, Ferre and Jus d'Ete didn't leave. However, I think that in this video, Gauthier Mascotte was listening to the CD of one of Maison Mère's concerts in Kinshasa, just as people used to have different CDs and audio-cassettes of concerts held in Kinshasa. I used to have a copied CD at home of Werrason's concert in Masina of 2003 (I think I may still have it at home, but I am not sure). I also had a CD of one of Werrason's concerts in Angola in 2002 with Bill Clinton animating Lumumba (the one that he used to do at Madeleine 2002), before the concert at Stade des Martyrs.
I don't believe that it was an extract of Miracles-generique, because at that time they didn't start recording yet and also Werrason was busy to find producers for his solo-album as Jean Pierre Saah's label JPS Production closed. Ir was Celeo who used to do the cri of the "payez, plier plier" during concerts. He used to talk about it often in interviews, explaining that it was one of the cri's he would do in Miracles. Bill Clinton was often doing the "Kimbongila", "Yo tein" and "Ba Yankee bayaka na kundu" cri's.
If you listen well to the drums of Kakol from that sound, you will hear that the audio is from a concert
I would like to know which songs of Miracles ended up being in Témoignage. Is it true Ton Regard & Miss Margot were scheduled for Miracles ? I know Amour Intérêt, Wabelo, Na Touché, Demi Tour were part of the original tracklist too. I always asked myself how the album would sound with the golden Maison Mere.
It's a shame Baby Ndombe was suspended. When i watch the concerts from October 2003 to the split of May 2004 i really feel his absence. That's my impression. The public must have been shocked at the time. Am I wrong ?
I would like to know which songs of the original Miracles rehearsed with the golden Maison Mere ended being in Témoignage ? Is it true that Ton Regard and Miss Margot from Alerte Générale were scheduled for Miracles ?
We can hear Mazungidi doing the intro of Magie since then he wasn't active anymore. I always find it strange that Koffi let him animate the intro and not the rest of the album but Beevens was on fire he did a great job by animating alone
This album is the definition of Perfection it was the perfect follow up to Noblesse Oblige. Masta Mfumu please please do a background story of the before and aftermath of this album please
Why did almost the drôle group stayed in Europe after the tour ? Was it for papers ? Or maybe they wanted to leader Quartier Latin to pursue a solo career like Fally ?
It seems like concerts, videos interviews of Koffi Olomide & Quartier Latin during that period are rare : 1994 after the release of Magie, the return in Kinshasa, concert at GHK and Studio Maman Angebi in 1995 ,V12 Tour ect, I also heard about a press conference who look like a trial. I would love to see those images.
Sounds crazy to hear Magie was not well received in the first two months following the release of the album. What was your first reaction when y'all hear the generique and the rest of the album ?
I always thought they went to USA after Babia ran away in Switzerland. I'm gonna watch the video of Magie when Quartier Latin are walking in New York too see if i can recognize Babia.
When was V12 recorded in 1995 ? They went back to Europe so quickly.
What happen to Soleil after Après toi ? Why he didn't return to Kinshasa to promote his album ? I was surprised that this album didn't get promote a lot.
I thought Mamale join Wazekwa along with CNN & Eric Tutsi. It's surprising the way Koffi left him behind for Zenith & USA. Was it for a particular reason ? Or he simply didn't need him. I know he went to BCBG after but i'm always confuse about this part of his career.
Personnally Gibson always make me laugh especially when he try to act like a tough guy. I read in this forum a story about him trying to confront JDL in a nightclub anf JDL put him in check. Why did he diss Marie Paul by the way ?
I'm still confuse about the release of this album. Was it released in December 1998 or January 1999 ?
Damn Droit de Véto was a flop despite being a good album Academia split didn't help. There were also a lot of good albums out also Titanic, Intervention Rapide, Cocktail...
a detailed backstory to legendary records like solola bien, Loi, Mario etc would be appreciated
Indeed I would like to see topics with background of classics albums, like the preparation, recording, release, tour and your réaction when you first heard generiques or the whole album. I would like to have the background of Magie (my favorite Quartier Latin album) by example.
