I ask because it features WMM, with Werra doing mabanga. The first half was recorded at the same time at the Temps Present Paris studio sessions, but the song didn't make the album cut for whatever reason.

I like it , but quite a choppy sebene song, even featuring Bill Clinton and Celeo although their vocals were edited in after the initial recording

He tricked Werra into thinking that this was the song he wanted for Temps Lresent Mayi Ya Sika got WMMM to record the song and then when he came out he asked Bill and Celeo to join that why the mxiibg sounds off they are two different songs mixed in one which is sad because if he mixed those songs well it could have been a very great song, it is but with bad mixing  everything gets worse unfortuantely

Shame, he’s should’ve split the songs, then it would’ve been more appreciated. As it is it’s very busy

Ingénieur JP Kys tried his best, but it’s tough to merge songs recorded in two studios, specifically sebene. Back then studio N’diaye drums sounded very cheap compared to the big studios of Paris

Bill takes the piss at the end saying that Flamme is 3 times better than Franco 

It was kind of a Nzong-Nzing. If I remember well, after releasing the générique Danger Ezali, which was dedicated to Skol and had some success in Kinshasa, Flamme Kapaya appeared on TV (I think it was with journalist Jacky Ndala), saying he was working on a project with his friends Celeo and Bill Clinton to revive the nostalgia of Wenge Musica Maison Mère. He said the project was called Surprise. Around the same time, he also introduced his double-neck guitar, Madame Jacqueline.

But for whatever reason, he decided to use the song originally dedicated to Floriant Miokono and added the sessions he had recorded with Bill and Celeo. He also recorded other tracks like Ba Chômeurs and Humanité, turning the project into an EP, which he renamed Ebebaka Mabe.

After releasing the album, he performed together with Celeo and Bill Clinton Kalonji at Hall de la Gombe, but unfortunately, the album and concert didn't meet much success.



It’s crazy how most attention went to the song Miokono, while there were génériques like Ebebaka Mabe (with Celeo and Flamme) and Bal Populaire (which was kind of an instrumental).

Tbh I think the poor mixing and the poor promozione isnwhat killed the album, like I don't remember a lot of people in Europe even knowing Kapaya got an album and the concerts with Bill and Celeo also weren't promoted as I though they needed to be promoted
An example of a great promotion from recent ex band members (taking Ferre and the big big stars away who left Maisoj Mere) I think it was the group album by VillaNova of fabregas,  he was alwaysnpeakimg about that album and even didnTwo big cincerts he released on his channel youtube







That album is the reason why But Na Fillet got popular off of one song alone and carriera that success into his solo career











I still can't believe this générique is so underrated
