Koffi Olomide & Quartier Latin live in GHK (August '04) with the new coming Shella Mputu (from Wenge Tonya Tonya) and also Goldberg who came from Maison Mere after running away from Roi David. But without CNN, Acide, Deo Brondo (who all three decided to stay in Europe) and Fofo Le Collegien.

At the at of the video we see the making off of the song Bye Bye, which from this version was never released and little interview with the dancing girls of Qli

This was three monhts before the release of the long awaited "Monde Arabe", at time Felix Wazekwa & Karmapa where hitting the Congolese music-charts very hard with "Et Apres" & "Je m'appelle Toi" and Koffi himself having problems with the Congolese press (due to the Marc Tabu-affaire) and the Congolese justice (Chouchou, Laura Mobindi having sued him for rape and Zobozi, B-52, Maitre-Dada, US-Force & Assitou-Mbo for not paying them for months).

The sound quality isn't that good, why wasn't Goldberg in Monde Arabe? And I didn't even know Eric Tutsi was in QL at that time.
Or moto asala le monde eza yo Nzambe tata, Kita okata po mokili trop matata, kata- Fally Ipupa

Its funny that the "embargo" was actually waiting for Et Après and Karmapa's album to cool off on the hit parade. Both were getting the press attention Koffi would've gotten had he not pissed them off. 

Sound quality at GHK was terrible up until renovations were done around 2009, which saw some some improvements in interior acoustics. I remember cameramen complaining that it was difficult to get decent footage of center stage.

I wonder what Koffi was thinking wearing that outfit... although it's something that would've suited Vieux bokul more.

Goldberg was mot in Monde Arabe, because he was in Maison Mere, When Ql recorded the album. He joined QL after that the band finished Monde Arabe in Europe and When he saw his place in Maison Mere was in danger, When Roi David came in.

Eric Tutsi rejoined QL, like Babia, Lebou and many other at time. But didn't get much space.
