It makes me mad that Nouvelle Ectiure  didn't record A La Une in Europe or Rigo Makengo not bringing a mobile studio to Kinshasa. This version although being dedicated to Sassou for the presidential elections is far better than the original version. The sound of the drums, guitars, mic, keyboards and percussion were all topnotch. I would also like to hear the song Werrason dedicated to him for the 2002 elections.

Sassou's team must have paid Papa Wemba alot of money for this song. It makes sense why Sassou later paid a part of the money like Joseph Kabila to bail Papa Wemba out from prison, when he was arrested for the ngulu-affair, as recognition for supporting during the president elections. Papa Wemba giving in return a
shout-out to him and Joseph Kabila in Congo Moko, also citing the provinces of Congo Brazzaville in that song

I'm even surprised that there wasn't a clip for this or was there?

There's probably a videoclip, since that it was meant for the presidential campaign, but I don't think that it's interesting. Would you like to see a clip where the face of a dictator keeps returning that kills people for more than 40 years and steals money ?
