I used to dislike this album when it first album when it came out (I don't exactly remember why now). I was in Kin when the album dropped and people were beating the generique to death at events. As a result I gravitated more towards King Kester's "Le Jour le plus plus long", Wazekwa's "Que demande le peuple ?", & JB's "Quel Est Ton Probleme?" which were released around the same period.

When I don't initially like an album I can go years without listening to it, so it felt like I was listening it for the first time on my commute home. June will be 10 years since release, man time flies.

Brigade killed it


Then there were good songs from Heritier "Sol De Mi-Amor" & "Confession Intime", Cappucino "Point Carré", Papy Kakol "Fanatique Na Ngai", Eboa Lotin "Bulawayo Chaud Lapin", etc.



Dancers Linda & Giselle composed their own song "Le Représentant", which is rare from female dancers.

I remember people accusing Papy Kakol of blatant plagarism for "Fanatique Na Ngai" becuase he just took it from Ocean Kibinda Nkoyi "Tonton Kalunga" and just changing the name. But Kakol was a his drummer for the folklore group before joining WMM so that settled that argument


The transition to generique is absolutely horrible tough (4:20). No effort there at all
