I believe he had a solo concert in '91 in Paris with very early QL members, but he felt comfortable with QL after the release and success of Pas de faux pas.
Yampanya had such stage presence.
according to interviews of Rocky Blanchard, Koffi didn't trust to bring guys Yoto Nkelani (Delta Force), Fofo Le Collegien, Vieux Veron, Mascotte de Kalats & Djunafa in Europe, because they where threating him to stay in Europe. If Koffi decided to bring QL in Europa it was due to the succes of Fifi, Rosette in the Papa Bonheur VHS, which led to a huge demand from the fans. The other reason which led Koffi to bring them in Europe was, beecause fans where remarking since 1988 in videotapes that Quartier Latin was performing better than the session-musicians in Europe who accompanying Koffi in concerts and even better when guys like Willy Bula, Lebou Kabuya and Laudy Demingongo joined.
