After years listening, I’ve realized Koffi inverted the chorus. The deuxième voix dominate over the premier voix.  Also, not every vocalist was included, so it really gave it a different sound.

Montana, Koffi, and Gypson (in the background) really stood out on chorus.

The sebene was too deadly. Bébé Kero and Brigade were a force to be reckoned with. Cambodge absolutely hammering the drums.

Generation Bercy! Man, it's getting to the point where I'm starting to water up listening to these classics. This album will never get old.

I don't think Koffi and Quarter Latin will ever know how much this album was appreciated! From the instrumentation to the vocals, this song is perfection.

It's a shame Cambodge never lasted with QL, he was fantastic behind the drums and a worth successor to Champion!

Quick question? Apparently this song was composed well before being placed on this album, yall remember Pierrette Adams's song Feelin from her album Absolument?

Even Koffi has a quick cameo in the song at the 1:40 minute mark. Does anyone know the story behind this? I had no idea Koffi even knew her, let alone collaborated with her.

Yes indeed, we got a sneak preview. The core lyrics of both:

Ya nga na yo ekomi kaka boye et pourtant ezalaki bien
Ya nga na yo ekomi nde ya mawa et pourtant ezalaki y'amour
Okomi ko sala nga neti moto alingi kasi alingi té
O komi ko botola nga elengi O komi ko silisa nga cherie déjà feeling

Ya nga na yo e komi kaka boye et pourtant e zalaki bien
Ya nga na yo e komi nde ya mawa et pourtant e zalaki y'amour
O komi ko sala nga neti moto a lingi kasi alingi té
O komi ko botola nga elengi okomi ko silisa nga cherie déjà feeling
...

Moto'a zalaki'o sala nga ba suçons na s'a litoyi Pe na kingo
Moto'a zalaki'o benga nga sucre ya solo e zali kaka yo
O komi ko sala nga zoba-zoba okomi ko kata nga sentiment
Un pas à gauche un Pas à droite cherie oKomi ko bunga
Oy'a molimo ya mosuni té ya nga na
yo ezalaki souviens-toi ya feeling-ih

Ba promesses nioso ya bolingo en fumée se sont envolées
Nzembo to yembaki nga n'o en duo maloba e komi ko kima
Nzel'a bolingo Nzamb'a Ponela yo e zali epayi nga na za
Tia nga na sani yemba bolingo lokola mokw'a makoso na maboko feeling

Even though I am a Werrasonique I think that Effrakata (Especially Bilan, Generation Bercy & Gilba) plus the album with Loi are the best albums of Congolese modern era music, even though A-La Queue Leu Leu had a great success and Kibuisa with Operation Dragon being a great generique are great Koffi simply knows how to make music to an higher level, is always creative and never monotonous.

Effrakata was basically the sequel to Noblesse Oblige and V12.

Effrakata is the most powerful album of Koffi! A classic.
I bought the original cd yesterday and the album is still GOOD!

In my opinion, i would say that it is the continuation of V12 (his very very very best album) and Loi. The sebenes of Loi was more powerful than Noblesse Oblige and the sebene of Effrakata are very very powerful. Effrakata is a mix of V12 for his beautiful words and "Loi" for his very dancing sebenes.
