Definitely. Amateur hour with how disjointed that group was; Longo was trying too hard to compete with the youths.

The best are the 13 Octobre Zenith of Emeneya and JB's 1999. Koffi missed out by not releasing the full 1998 edition because he didn't want to promote the singers that left QL. Wemba has the best CD/VHS reproduction

I had fun attending Koffi's 2001 concert, but the energy and hype of Kester's and JB's concerts could not be matched watching the VHS/DVD production.

I think this may be the worst zenith

Stop hating Koffi. Congolese music is not only about sebene prakakatatutu boom. This is music for  high class and matured people. The Zenith-concert was anncounced as a acoustic concert with Cindy on the spotlights, after those cancelled €100 acoustic shows in the Marie Bell Theatre.  The Zenith '09 was considered as one of the best shows of 2009. It was also the first time that people discovered Cindy singing in Europe live, after being voted as best female singer of 2008.

Hating koffi? LOL Koffi is one of my favorite artists, just because I do not like his music with Cindy does not mean I am hating on him.You may say that I am hating on Cindy, which I am fine with, but what exactly do you mean by "This is music for high class and matured people"? Isn't that kind of thing subjective? 2009 was a year when acoustic music took over, so I am not surprised that it was "successful" at the time. But compared to the other big zenith concerts, no one mentions this one because it wasn't as memorable as the others.

@seben-maniac, with all due respect this was a fantastic concert. Just put your distate for Cindy aside for a minute and take a listen again. The sound was one of the best outta all the Bercy, Zenith and Olympia gigs. The rendition of Ikia will remain one of the best!!!

Ewww this is the worst the perfect team for the zenith wouldve been ever the avis de recherche team or nous y sommes/poison team

No, I think that the 1988 team would be the best. At that time they were on their peak, touring in Japan & the French Antilles, performing on the French national tv-channel TFI, competing with the legendary French-Antillean band Kassav, getting a gold record with the Nippon Banzai-disc and close to sign with the famous Sony-music label (at that time called CBS), but the "egoisme" of Nyoka Longo, Bapius Meridjo, Zamungana & Matima did break off Sony's offer. They were supposed to perform at Zenith in the summer of 1988, but the separation of Zaiko Langa Langa in May 1988 ruined everything (Familia Dei vs Nkolo Mboka-era). Otherwise they would be the first Congolese band/artist to perform at Zenith.
