This is the last album of Pepe Kalle, Dilu and Papy Tex singing as a trio from 1972-1996.

Full Option was duo album only with Pepe Kalle and Papy Tex. Dilu Dilumona did not participate on that album I guess things started to turn sour for them.

As Drumstar98 said, it was Gardez Votre Souffle that Pepe Kalle sang with Papy Tex and Dilu Dilumona together as Kadima. Dilu and Papy appeared on Merci Maman but they sang with others and not together.

Actually Kadima really ended after 1990. I mean in a sense of new music. After 1990, they sang only remixes of the songs that they did in the 1970s and 1980s which would be Gardez Votre Souffle. In 1992, Papy releases his solo album while Dilu would do that in 1993 and they did not sing together at all. Pepe Kalle would sing with Dilu and Papy on their perspective albums. Pepe Kalle would release Divise Par deux which Papy only sang one song while Dilu did not appear at all on that album and then in 1993, he releases Loins des yeux which has no Papy and Dilu at all. It was clear that their relationship was not the same anymore. Papy started to focus more on the production side while Dilu was more into banking stuff. Pepe Kalle was the one who focused on music as he did when he was younger.

Then in 1998, their relationship went into hole when Pepe Kalle made Delta Force with Kinanga Boeing 737 and Lofombo. Now Pepe Kalle wants to prepare this band to get more spotlight alongside with some other Empire Bakuba members like Djodjo Ikomo, Djouna Mumbafu, Biya Chante and Desouza Santu. Papy Tex goes to France hoping for another Empire Bakuba tour in Europe and USA. Dilu Dilumona remains in Kinshasa to do banking and doing financial work for Empire Bakuba. Dilu was also preparing for his second solo work "Tour de Babel" which had Pepe Kalle likely only sing on the remixes. That album I believe was released after Pepe Kalle passed away. Papy Tex got into a terrible car accident before Pepe Kalle died from a heart attack. Dilu Dilumona was deeply hurt after not being able for Pepe Kalle to comeback alive.

It sucks that this album was the last time that they sang together as a trio.
