I always liked Timololo, Cele le Roi and Kito Dembela's style. They really knew the Kitendi-ideology.

The same one when Papa Wemba had a fight with the promoter?

yes. I think that it's this concert,  because towards the end of the video I saw an annoucement about Meiway's VHS. Pinos said in that interview that they invited Meiway as guest.

Pinos also mentioned that the concert was mpiaka something like that it's been 5 years since I've seen that video. If I remember the Viva guys did not let Nouvelle Ecriture on the stage correct if I'm wrong.

No, according to Pinos. It had to be a fara-fara concert of Viva La Musica 'Cour des Grands' against Nouvelle Ecriture, ads being made months before. But many members of Viva La Musica weren't happy about it and said that they didn't want to perform with Nouvelle Ecriture on the same stage. I friend of mine who was close to some Viva-members said that Gloria, Stino and Demukuse were totally against, seeing like that they were stealing their place (they would also leave months later to form their own band to return a few months later). To calm the guys down, Wemba decided to only let Viva La Musica perform and invite just Bendoson, Pompom and the dancers with Lambio Lambio. Alot 'Bana Poto' were already aware about and phoned each other, which made many fans not come to the concert and the concertpromoter being mad about, since that he tought that the event would sold out. Hence why the fight with Wemba towards the end of the concert and getting K.O. after receiving a headbutt from Wemba lol.
