Which Generation/era do you prefer?


1st Generation: Montana Kamenga, Djodjo Bayinge (top singer, reminds me of Dindo Yogo), Adoli Bamweniko, Debleu Kinanga, Teddy Bukasa, Bakolo Keta, Azanga (underrated animator), Richa Cogna-Cogna, Burkina Faso Mboka Liya, Ladi Mbala, Jagger Bokoko, Mogus Santu, Jean-Louis Bikunda& Guy wa Nzambi (top bass players)


2nd Generation: President Montana Kamenga, Deblue Kinanga, Teddy Bukasa, Bakolo Keta, Kabose Bulembi, Eugene Makuta (replacement of Djodjo another top singer!), Jirbo Ntunta, Mardochee Kayembe, Theo Mbala (no.1 animator), Charles Kaptutu, Djudjuchet, Renato Mondele, Laurent Kadogo, Ladi Mbala, Tshotsholi, Jean-Louis Bikunda, Blaise La Bamba & Eddy Kandimbo

I think I'm going with the 2nd Generation the overall ambience was better plus the group reached another height easily top 3 groups in the late 90s. One thing upsets me how Defao never continued this group many singers and animator could have been in the group including CNN, Jordan Kusa, Bourman Idolo, Mbetenge and many others. Can we have short career on this group please  :).

First generation for me by far.

 I remember being mesmerized by that first official concert on national tv, then all there albums from '93 to 95'. They had so much energy, especially with sebene as Mulopwe shows. Defao made like 20+ different albums with most or all that team between 1992 & 1995

Azanga was my favorite atalakou at the time after Ekokota.

RIP Jagger
