With Koffi playing some bass and Modogo showing off his drumming skills. During the 1997 Europe tour after Ultimatum, pre- Loi. This is actually the best Koffi concert I’ve attended.

Chorus: Modogo Balongana, Sam Tshintu, Suzuki, Bouro Mpela. Babia was in prison for drug charges.

Guitars: Felly Tyson, Do Akongo, Beniko, Lebou Kabuya alternate

Bass: Binda Bass

Drums: Champion esthétique

Percussions: Nseka Passé Kosse

Atalakou: Mboshi Lipassa & Dolce Somono. Both play the shakers, which is a rarity now.

Synthesizer: Ondoma Motema

This concert was on 14th february '97, before the release of Ultimatum.
Babia was already free after the release of Magie and lived for some months in Koffi's house of Paris, until Quartier Latin's arrival in 1995 to record V12 and returned along with the band in Zaire. Bouro's test(which was some weeks before the tour in '96) amazed Koffi so much that he decided to bring him instead of Babia, Eric Tusti or Willy Bula in Europe. Something which made Babia very angry(he had at time a star-status) and he wanted to beat him with a broken bear-bottle.

he did that on every europe-tour until that tour of '98. Where used for the first time 6 singers (Magie was recorded with 6 singers + Scola Miel in Brazzaville, but on the Europe/US tour he only used Babia, Willy, Suzuki & Scola Miel)
