Affaire d'État is one of those albums where I don’t care what anyone has to say, it’s a masterpiece from start to finish - and it gets better with age. (No Touchling  ;D)

There’s much more depth in Titina’s drumming, every part of the drum set is used throughout. I'm no percussion expert, but I think we can all detect the greater attention to detail. It’s not meant slight understudy Cambodge, who rose to notoriety very rapidly because of natural skill, high energy, and quick learning capabilities.

Titina “Grande Cadre”


 
Cambodge Motul “Machine Madaga”



Presently, I think Cambodge has sort of taken the baton, de facto, from Titina, as he’s arguably the best active drummer. Titina will always be on his own level when comes to skill.

I remember telling a friend that it was Cambodge on drums on certain songs and he was surprised - he thought it was Titina who did all the drumming.

Last I heard he's doing weekend concerts in Dubai with a makeshift band for the small DRC expatriate community there.

Pere et fils is the best way to describe these two, two of best drummers in Congolese music history.

At 7:13, I love the way the drums were played with the Gilba sebene there. I wish they played the drums that way in the actual recording of the song.
