December 1999 was like December 1998, an amazing month in terms of album-releases. At that era artists often preferred to release albums in December or late November, since that people were about to celebrate christmas and new year, which made alot albums being released in that period. The albums Solola Bien, Attenat and Shalai are today considered as classics. It was a wonderful way to enter 2000 along with the albums that came out earlier that year Pouvoir, Ponderation 8, La Guerre de 100 Ans, Fula Ngenge, Poison & Sanction and those of 1998 & 1997.

The fact that nearly all those albums have aged so well you'd think that it was released yesterday especially with the sound quality
