Thanks man, too bad the booklet was too short

Wasn't that picture of Werrason wearing the green waistcoast made in Geneve during that New-Year Eve of 2001 ?

Thanks for posting it. I will try to upload the booklet of BEK next week.

I found it ungrateful from Koffi to not credit Acide Wanzambi, CNN, Fofo le Collegien, Ramazani, Lebou Kabuya & Deo Brondo while they also worked very hard. This all just because they left. But i’ve still respect for the way he finished the album despite all those difficulties (not being able to find a new record label, the problem with Marc Tabu and that affaire with his former dancers, guards spokemen and director).

The booklets of Monde Arabe, Affaire d’Etat and Effrakata weren’t really interesting like those of the Sonodisc and Sono era (1990-2000).

Does someone have Wake Up, Shalai, Etat Major, Trop c’est Trop and La Main Noire ?

Koffi denied Clovis Ngouma from recieving credit on Force de Frappe because he left the group even though he played bass on the generique.

Technically CNN didn't "leave" the group, he just didn't return to Kinshasa because of his long-term papers in Europe. What happened to Acide Wanzambi?

CNN left the band. Koffi Olomide left him behind when they went for the second Zenith of 2003 which was somewhere in december and the recordings of Monde Arabe, bringing with him only Acide Wanzambi and Apocalyps. But he didn't want to miss the tour, so he went to Europe on his own with help of his girlfriend. Then he participated to that little tour of december 2003-april 2004 and stayed in Europe when Quartier Latin returned to Kinshasa because he was dissapointed the way Koffi prefered Acide and Apocalyps.

Acide Wanzambi ran away when they finised the tour. That's why Koffi Olomide called Kerozene to replace him when they returned in July 2004 to finish the recordings of Monde Arabe, shoot the videoclips of the album and two concerts (LSC and Concert Noble in Brussels were they smacked Marc Tabu). As reward he gave Kerozene some little space on the generique and Rouge a Levre.

I think acide wazambi is one of the weakest atalaku of the history of ql (1992-2008), when i was a kid i thought it was kero, but he’s a « fake kero » lol.
And what made koffi erase deo brando’s vocals? It’s reminds me willy bula situation’s in v12.
Nobody know what made bouro left the groupe ? Because i know he used to be on it

I liked Acide alot and his cries in Monde Arabe. Kerozene dissapointed me in Monde Rabe. For me the weakest atalaku of the history of ql is Goldbert (aka Napoleon). I think that Koffi erased Deo's vocals in Monde Arabe because of him deciding to stay in Europe after the tour to get papers.

Bouro Mpela left during the recordings of Monde Arabe. If you watch their two first concerts of the tour (Zenith and that one of the new year eve 2004 at Palais du Midi in Brussels), you see that Bouro isn't standing next to Koffi anymore like in the past (Montana took his place), his mic was next to the one of Acide and Bouro was also not more motivated like in the past and smiling alot. The reasons of Bouro's departure in 2004 are unclear. I tought that one of the former QL-members would reveal it in the interviews with Ado Yuhe, but it didn't happen.Back in the days of Skyblog, they said that Fally Ipupa snitched to Koffi that Bouro was dating Patience in secret which made him leave the band and having apparently then created an anti-Fally militia in Kinshasa. There were also some rumors that Bouro slept with dancer Kaddy Show, who was later left behind by Koffi (she went to join Wenge BCBG after that) when they went for the Monde Arabe recordings and it made Koffi apparently furious.

Yeah it was about ibembo patchanga, i remember alain mpela even invited bouro and dicap at home to solve it since he knew they were kind of friends already before being together in quartier latin,because of willy bula's workshop but it did not work

Yeah just look here Bouro looked like he didn’t wanna be there during the Zenith Concert, but mvulusi CNN is there at the concert. Were Jordan and Junior also present at the same concert? And Deo his vocals got erased but on the dvd version his vocals in aubergine were there I think it just got erased in mopao en or.

I think that you didn't understand me. CNN was left behind Koffi for that concert, but he went to Europe on his own with help of his ex'girlfriend who paid a ticket for him to come to Paris. He arrived some days before Quartier Latin arrived in Paris and particapted to the concert at Zenith, the recordings of Monde Arabe and the tour and left when Quartier Latin returned to Kinshasa.

Yes, Jordan Kusa and Junior Kingombe were also presented at Zenith de Paris. They used only 6 mics if i remember well and them switching with other singers and singing on the old Koffi-songs but not those of Affaire d'Etat where they didn't participate.

 The clips of Monde Arabe were shooted in Kinshasa in July 2004, but then Koffi Olomide went back to Europe in November 2004 to add mabanga and to correct some vocals and decided to erase the vocals of Deo Brondo, that's why he can hear Deo's vocals on the dvd-version but not the cd version.

Those concerts in Angola were in the summer of 2003 after having toured in the USA. Back in that era Koffi's atalaku's were fighting for a place. Koffi had then 5 official atalaku's (Brigade, CNN, Acide Wanzambi, Apocalyps & Washington), I remember to see them all animating in the same concert.

Yeah it was about ibembo patchanga, i remember alain mpela even invited bouro and dicap at home to solve it since he knew they were kind of friends already before being together in quartier latin,because of willy bula's workshop but it did not work

If it was an other artist then the consequences would been very bad. Patience was almost his second wife. Do you remember how furious he was when Werrason recruited her ? and Koffi promising to himself that he would destroy Wenge Maison Mere and finish Werrason's career lol, sending also death threats to WMM-staffmembers.

@mvulusi96

Would the atalaku Washington be considered a tenorist or a falsetto atalaku? He doesn't have too rough of a voice compared to Kerozene, but his voice isn't as melodic as Brigade or CNN.

In my opinion, Gesac was the worst atalaku that Quartier Latin ever recruited. Given his resume, people had high expectations when Koffi poached him from Wazekwa but he just screamed "c'est le moment" and gave Mopao that "Sarkozy" nickname...other than that, dude was trash.
