I remember Kusa's incident kiekiekie! Nobody caught him when dived into the crowd after his dance. Often it is the biggest defenders of the boss are dismissed shamefully, look at Blaise Bula of Wenge BCBG and Herman Ngasski of Extra Musica Zangul.

Honestly, Academia was already reeling from Bouro Mpela's absence for the recording of Viagra. They already recruited Mustapha and Sukuzi formerly of Quartier Latin as well as Abilisi from Extra Musica Zangul. Yet, Viagra ended up having a delayed success...

Had Depitcho joined, what really would change? Sam was becoming increasingly egotistical, so the other prolific members were not going get the shine they deserved.

When Depitcho left, Academia just performed 3 concerts with Bouro still being around and they were about to go to Kinshasa. Those ego-wars didn’t start yet. Mustapha was then still in Quartier Latin at that moment  and Suzuki was  trying to promote Decompte Final. Koffi’s concert in Laussane was their first concert after Bercy and the second of their Europe-tour, it was somewhere in March 2000. I think that it would boost the polemic of Koffi against Academia  and create alot of buzz, because he just performed at Bercy and Depitcho was back in those days was the number two of QL.

Those ego-wars started when they went to Kinshasa and them having those staff around them and them not standing eachother of stealing the show during concerts in Kinshasa and other cities of Africa. With also some starting to come late to concerts to show who the real leader was, etc. and it becoming worser when they came back to Europe in the summer for some concerts and to sign new contracts for the concerts they wanted to give with their dancers and new musicians they recruited who stayed in Kinshasa. With Bouro saying that he would leave if they would bring those musicians to Europe, but them not listining to him, saying that they would recruit a new tenorist without problem if he would leave.

The problem with Viagra is that they released it to late and they stayed to long in Europe, while they had an excellent tour. (Winning the fara-fara against Werrason, performing twice in a packed LSC, etc.). They received visa’s of 1 year long in Schengen-Area with them spending 10 months while they could have easily returned after 4 or 5 months, being in Europe since November 2000. Viagra was planned for May 2001 and already finished but they prefered to release it the same time on their return to Kinshasa in September 2001, thinking that it would boost the album more. But itwas a big mistake, because JB Mpiana was about to release Internet and Kibuisa Mpimpa was smacking all discs who were on market. With everybody then being focused on the polemic of Werra vs JB and Quartier Latin not reacting against theur attacks e like in 1999 and 2000. Which was like they were talking against a wall. With Lebou Kabuya & Suzuki also leaving the band while they just released the album.

The smartest move probably would've been to release Viagra on its planned date and then use its momentum to their advantage by returning to Kin earlier.

Thanks for the bio Archos, but I think you got Depitcho's year of birth wrong I read somewhere he was born in October of 1970

As for Depitcho after he left people thought he would join Academia, but the question is had he tried to join would they have accepted him?

It was also a good choice for Depitcho to not go on the stage at the Switzerland concert I think he'd have got a huge 12 at some point, but it would've been interesting if he stayed for Force De Frappe and hearing his song

CHRISTIAN KUSALA KUSA AKA JORDAN KUSA MABELE YA NKOLO

Christian was born in 1972 and grew up in bandal and was first attracted by sports in his young age,especially after the death of his father in 1981 and he will be into martial arts apart from school for a long time but like many youngsters of bandal will be caught by the virus of music and will start performing in street groups like la nova star with his brother gessan sakoko,charlie adjanga of big stars and other guys,will have two rehearsals with the group pergola which had the likes of papy kalombo,ferre who just did those two rehearsals aswell and other guys
at that time its obviously not for him and his family a possibility to become a professional artist so he still goes to school normally and sometimes performs in various street groups trying to sing like his model emeneya kester  and will even make it in the unofficial wenge junior thanks to his "aunt" sylvie mampata,werra's wife,along with bouro and other guys
and will make a step closer to professional music when he is spotted by songwritter duc herode mandiangu who comes back to kinshasa to create his group golden tchatcho,with the likes of bouro mpela mamale sunda bass ridens makosso flamme kapaya serge mabiala celeo pekoce animation...and he is meant to join along with his brother sakoko the newly born victoria dream team dream band but both will leave before the group performs with kester at martyrs and will join wenge kumbela of their pire vieux of bandal aime buanga
christian will then have the first song of his career mado in their first album,alongside the likes of champion vualu,alvarito ,dolin masengi,pitshou mina and co but aime returns to europe and in the meantime he is spotted by koffi olomide's bodyguard late maitre 150 who puts pressure on him to learn quartier latin songs and join quartier latin and even uses the threat of forbidding him to participate in martial arts club until he comes to quartier latin rehearsals and he will end up coming and succeeding in tests
when koffi returns places are up for grabs with the departure of sam and co to form academia,so he will part of competition between 50+ singers but he will miss out on album attentat,with the arrival of lola muana the son of koffi's close friend dindo yogo,and mamale gossiping about him
when the group is planned to perform at bercy,he build statregies with his petit and friend fally ipupa to create a lot of choreographies together to catch koffi's attention since some of those who participated on attentat are not that good in dancing and a big show like bercy would obviously need good dancers
his case will be helped by the fact koffi discovers he is related to his wife and he makes it on list for bercy
But since he is not an absolute favorite is not considered to get a song on group album force de frappe but he will get one song with his courage of openly asking for it in studio and it will be one of the good songs of that album,aquarelle
he will catch koffi's attention properly through polemic,as he had already made an impression in attacking jb directly ,and will be two years later at the forefront of " les alliés contre ben laden" by once again attacking directly jb,not using codes or whatever but going direct
however his situation will slowly start to become difficult,first with an open conflict with koffi olomide over a woman but also with the fact he starts to refuse to attack people for koffi and he will miss out on affaire d etat tour and will get suspended and while adolphe wants to recruit him to counter the fact koffi took washington and two dancers  he prefers remaining loyal
 and with intervention of fally titina and jipson he will end up making it on monde arabe list but he start to plan an album as he has several songs but will once again be sidelined as people snitch to koffi how he is upset and plans to record in europe
with fally announcing solo album to counter the fact ferre remixed silivi with koffi,he starts having the courage to openly say he will record an album and he will once again miss tour,but since he had kept his passport with him he gets personal visa to leave kinshasa and will release in his own danger de mort to piss koffi off for treating him like that and in 2006 when fally goes solo he will be there at one of fally's first concerts in europe and he will repeat several times on the microphone "there is an old man who will have mad blood pressure tonight" alluding to koffi
he will announce his first complete album "7 ans de vache maigre" alluding to his 7 difficult years in quartier latin but as he settles in USA for years does not have much musicians there to record album like he wants and he will end up going bck to france to settle and is working on his album

On an interview with Dicarson 5 years ago he said that he was left, after that Koffi started yelling on knowing all songs of King Kester Emeneya when they were rehearsing it for the concert of Grand Hotel 2005 to represent Monde Arabe (having invited Bozi, Kester, Wemba, JB and co). During that concert he forbad Jordan to be on stage, but definitely went when Kester came. After he had one concert, but Koffi was still forbidding him to be on stage and then left.

I was actually listening to all Jordan Kusa's vocals. They are amazing. Jordan Kusa is very underrated. If Benz Petrole decides to make another album, he needs to invite this man. He can sing with someone like Desouza Santu.

Very posed and confident. No wonder Koffi decided to pick him up.

I heard one of the main reasons why Jordan stopped being Koffi's attack dog was because JB Mpiana reached out to him and they made peace. Is that true?

I remember being disappointed when I saw Jordan not appear in Danger de Mort, despite participation on Monde Arabe and preperation for Danger de Mort.

Naa man it was the other way around, he called JB when Koffi and Jb were about to make peace, but Jb was like “ahh kusa you went too far” but eventually Jb forgave him.

Jordan was long gone by the time Danger de mort came out. He left before Ferre arrived.

èèèhhh djo roy tala ba kusa,alingaki abosana que aza petit ya palais
every single of the latino guys who were in that video and returned to kinshasa went to jb concerts afterwards(fally,tyson,passe kosse,soleil...)

Archos, Do you still have in mind, the line up of Wenge Junior? Ferré was part of the group?
