Still unbelievable how Felix Wazekwa passed Adolphe Dominguez in no time while in 2001 there even some people claiming that Adolphe passed Werrason, others seeing them on the same level of popularity. Here Wazekwa already passed him with Yo Nani and everything on Adolphe's side going wrong. Adolphe putting all his power in attacking Koffi Olomidé & Werrason and praising JB Mpiana.
About QL, Soleil once said that he gave Ridens Makossa a small guitar parition for Attentat when CNN animates "ya bolite ya kupesaka maman na bana". This all shows how important musicians were for the succes of songs and generiques. Bandleaders haven't any right to appropriate all the succes to themselves and betitle when bandmembers leave or punish them asking a better salary. It so selifsh how all bandleaders write auteur-compositeur:... on their name to generique while everybody know that they didn't come with cries nor guitare paritions, etc.
I remember reading on Ivorian website, Fally saying once that he created the whole cheograpy of Piwawa with Bouro Mpela (not mentioning his name) and having created that rhythm/transition before Brigade comes in with 'Kosakana na Mopao-te" adding that he had to do everything on his own, that he wasn't paid for his work and Koffi used to mistreat them. The way he said sounded really arrogant like nobody was able to come with something in Quartier Latin.
