Now, 20 years later (13-10-2006 / 13-10-2026), I’m still of the opinion that Danger de Mort deserved a better reception. People were too harsh against it.I’m still grateful that Koffi finished the music videos and even filmed some footage in Kinshasa, while many of the singers had already left. While during Droit de Veto, he only shot Rond Point, Droit de Veto and Sens Inverse. Would y’all have believed in 2005 or 2006 if someone told you that Danger de Mort would be Quartier Latin’s last album?
Until this day, I wonder why Philipe Guez didn't participate to the album, while he participated to albums like Faux Mutu Moko Boye, Temoignage and Droit Chemin, who were all recorded in that period. Although his absence, Mbetenge and JC Tshituka did in my opinion a good job
It is crazy that Mbetenge had to wait until B.E.K. to get recogition from the public, while his work on Danger de Mort was titanious. Koffi even credited Mbetenge next to him and JC Tshituka among the arrangers of the album. I recently saw an interview with Mbetenge and Popol Mopasula, where Mbetenge said that Koffi was on the plane and asked Fally about him, only to find out that he had left Mbetenge behind in Kinshasa. He was surprised by because he needed Mbetenge to finish the work they did in Kinshasa in Paris. Rumors say that there was a rhythm-guitarist (I won't cite his name) went to a witchdoctor to be on the Europe-list, which apparently why Mbetenge got left behind
