With influent I mean the huge impact it had the artistic field for Congolese bands/solo artists. With everybody trying to follow/copy the style of those rhythms/compositions/arrangements/animation, etc.

Noblesse Oblige & V12 had a huge impact, but it was not that suddenly all solo leaders or bands sarted to copy Fouta Djallon. It’s only 10 or 12 years later that solo-artists started to follow that Tcha-Tcho style

in 2005/2006, Koffi had the best team of the Congo especially on the side of the singers but they produced the weakest album of QL despite the fact that the album in itself was not bad.
Then suddenly Fally and Ferré respectively released Droit Chemin and Sens Interdit which brought a new breath to the Congolese music (especially Droit chemin), with also Werrason doing a lot of success in Kinshasa with Sous-sol, all its factors there have favored the forgetfulness of Danger de mort.

The Danger de mort's team was however stronger than that of Affaire d'Etat but they could not produce a better album than Affaire d'état. There was also the little ego wars between Fally and Ferré and the fact that Fally was very involved in his album Droit chemin and he was right because sooner or later he had to start his solo career.

Yeah, but you how Koffi Olomide is. Modogo witnessed it back in 1994. They recorded Sylvekou, but he wasn't on the Europe-tour list of 1994.

About 2007, Koffi wanted to get rid of Montana, Shella Mputu, Babia, Suzuki, etc. Because he wanted to form a new Quartier Latin with Les Mineurs and experiened artists like Joss Diena, Gabbanna and J3. So he decided to not give them vocals which made Shella leave. But the rest still stayed so he tried other tactics which made Montana finally leave, but Suzuki and Babia were still accepting those humilations. With Babia not being used often as singer in concerts, but always being send on tv to attack Werrason or Felix Wazekwa (like when he whore the same clothes that Wazekwa wore at Olympia).

Yeah I remember Montana used to wear the same outfit Les Mineurs wore it was ridiculous. He left in 2008 before BEK if I remember well.

He did the same thing with Sam too in 1994 am I wrong ? I found strange that he didn't let Sam having a vocal in Magie despite letting him put his song while Modogo,Babia and Eric Tutsi shine throught that album and they came a little while before him.

Getting back to the topic subject i agree  with y'all Droit Chemin change Congolese Music even if I'm not a big fan of that rumba trend
