Zaiko Langa Langa rehearsing in Kinshasa at Bar Kimpwanza. This was some days before that they went on tour in Europe. During that time did his best to return in Europe after 3 years of absence. Because Koffi Olomide was mocking them that they are a local band, who he was only performing for Congolese people. While he sold out Olympia & Zenith,which was pissing of Nyoka Longo. The thing which made it worser was the release of the Droit de Veto-album in Decembre 1998, where Koffi Olomide was mocking Zaiko in the song Rond Point. Rond Point means rondabout in French. With Rond Point, Koffi refered to the Rond-Point Kimpwanza in Kinshasa, where they Zaiko was rehearsing and performing every week. Nyoka Longo would react strongly with generique Proverbs 22:1, calling Koffi "Antoine Missisa".  From 1:08:36 min a journalist pissed atalaku Doudou Adoula off by saying indireclty that Koffi said that they are local and he international. With Doudou reacting that if you are performing in France, that French people have to watch you. And that if Zaiko performs in Europe that white people and black people watchs them, but other artists perform only with black people are spectators.



This was some days after the split with Meridjo "Machine Ya Kauka", Oncle Bapius Muaka, Modeste Modikilo and administrator Mosain Malanda who went to form Zaiko Universal.

I don't know what him made leave, because he was an import member. I don't that it was about money because the whole band returned except him and guitarist Volvo Lukeba.


I guess that Koffi didn't care. He wasn't important anymore after Ultimatum, like Coco Tchomba and Rocky Blanchard. I always wonder what Popolipo made join Zaiko for some months.
