I don't know in which interview in was Lebou or Somono, but one of them said that Bouro left Quartier Latin in Brussels and joined Academia before Sam and Modogo, because he was not happy that Koffi was flirting with his girfriend of then. He would left Quartier Latin 5 years later for the same reasons but in a opposite way, with a liltle bit jealousy on side ('98 Bouro vs Savanet) ('04 Bouro vs Ipupa)Aaaah Academia mawa. Bouro departure from Academia is the thing as a split or departure who shocked me the most after Wenge's split and that of Les Marquis.Everyone except Lebou Kabuya and Somono complained in their interviews about recruitment of more musicians in Academia, which was a big mistake. The same Sam Tshintu said that it was Somono's idea to recruit more musicians. Bouro's departure from Academia was very strange and unexpected, there must be something mystical or another reason behind his departure. It's also very strange to hear that his dad was negotiating with Koffi his return to Quartier Latin behind his back.What kind of band was Wenge junior? Because I heard that it was a band that theyoften performed before Wenge 4x4 came on stage, that it included future "Le Carre Magique"-band members Flamme Kapaya, Jordan Kusa,etc. and that they were supported by Werrason's wife Sylvie Mampata
indeed wenge junior was with those guys and some others who went nowhere after,alpatchino was also there,until today i wonder how he never joined wenge 4X4 he was extremely close to nsone and even gave him many lyrics it was more of fun group,and by the time jb and werra thouigh about a proper reserve group they all had gone elsewhereand i also believe that sudden change of bouro when they arrived in kinshasa is not normal, manda chante leaving el paris was a bit similar
