I think that its the most beautiful VHS/DVD-cover of all Congolese concerts at l'Olympia Bruno Coquatrix. Its almost like the single-conver of "Ya Pas Match, Ya Pas Photo". Can you also post the backside ? I wonder if they ever released a CD-version or cassette of this concert. Its the first time that I see this VHS-cover. It can be that I've already seenit in those shops of Brussels and Paris, but it can be that I wasn't paying alot of attention on it.


Back in those days wasn't liking JB Mpiana anymore after hearing from the Maison Mere-camp that he was responsible for "blocking" them to not enter the Schengen-area which made me angry. But I was still watching their videos since that my brother used to copy those videos he bought and to give it to me,  to convince me that Wenge BCBG were masters in giving live-concerts. For example, like before the VHS of Zenith came out, I used to mock my brother about the Zenith of BCBG being mpiaka, but when I saw the videotape I had something like wow. But I didn't wanted to admit it to him lol... Those artists and their labels could have made more money and think 2, 3 or 4 times more if everybody in Congolese community were buying those CDs and VHS. But most people were copying those CDs and VHS from friends or their family.


The Olympia-concert was a good concert, but I don't understand why ACMCO decided to elect it as best concert of the 20th century, there were plenty concerts who were better and I saw it like a disrespect towards Papa Wemba, Franco Luambo Makiadi and Tabu Ley and that category didn't make alot of sense because its from the 50s that they started to do music with orchestras, etc. Another thing that I didn't like was the way they started releasing videotapes in 1999 and 2000, by putting the intro of the concerts on the end or in the middle of the video.

They did that on the Titanic clips.
