just listened to the whole of it....Who was the soloist here?
Fav songs include Mboka Ya Diogen,Annie,Yoka Liteya

The solist is Burkina Faso "Mboka Liya" who was invited by Defao along with Djudju-chet Luvengoka. This album was recorded in Abidjan and the mix done in Paris by Djudju-chet.

Yea, I have yet to listen to a Defao album I didn't enjoy. A number the songs were remixes of his early hits.

The Ivorians loved him so much them they crowned him as honorary chief; hence his attire throughout the album. I forget which tribe exactly, but it's the tribe Didier Drogba is from. A few years ago Koffi was also honored despite his spotty behaviors in CIV.

Drogba is an Bete.

LL Cool J and Michael Jackson were also crowned as honorary chief. I remember traditional chiefs complaining why they didn't bury Michael Jackson in Ivory Coast.
