That song was fairly well known. Fantastic. Ya Biso Moko is one of my favorite Nouvelle Ecriture albums

Good album arranged by Michel Lorenz.

Michel Lorenz only played on few songs. The most jobs were done by Christian Na Nzenze. Sec Bidens was the arranger of the album, some songs were recorded in his house. It was also the first album of his then 14-years son Leny Bidens to participate on.

According to Ramazani they released the album only in Europe since that it was not a official Nouvelle-Ecriture album but a nzong-zing album with Wemba not wanting the album to fight the succes of 'L.

So it was a cool album avoiding competition?

Yeah, there was no promotion for this album.

Lenny Bidens did a great job on his first arrangement, “Soucis”

I've always loved this great, soothing duet from two legends. May they both rest in peace.

And I thought Ya Biso Moko was released in Congo as well; it would've been as successful as dans L', if not more successful. Are you sure it's not an official NE album? Oh, and what songs did Michel Lorenz arrange?

The album was recorded in 1998 just after having recorded 'L during the long Europe-tour of 9 months they made. The videoclips were recorded after the release of Fula Ngenge. Gaston Amisi tried to re-promote the album in 2003 by putting the videoclips in the same dvd of the Nkila Mogrosso-concert at RTNC. The fioti-fiotis were recruited by Lambio Lambio in Kinshasa when Papa Wemba went to record Fula Ngenge after having performed at Zenith de Paris with Viva La Musica, Le Quatro, Nouvelle Ecriture and Molokai. Lambio Lambio was motivated to prove Papa Wemba a point, because he was dissapointed that Wemba left him behind in Kinshasa for the Zenith-concert. He tought that Wemba would bring him again like 1998 since that he used to train Coco Maria and Mimi Tchivundu for Zenith-concert of 1999 like he did in 1998 for them and the other dancers (Chantal Nioto, Bijoux & Chantal Mogao) who decided to stay in Europe. Lambio Lambio recruited then 12 dancers of the 500 who went for to do a test. The fioti fioti started to have a big impact in Kinshasa due to their tv appearances. Bozi then told it to Papa Wemba about that with Wemba dedicating them in Martina-B' and Alpatchino dedicating them in Fula Ngenge.

Plus Cinq and Soucis.

Yeah, Ramazani, Pompom Miyake & Bendoson said that recently. Also guys of Viva La Musica "Cour des Grands" like Djuna Djanana participated (he animated on Mort Subite), Luciana Demingongo & Joly Mubiala (he had song on the album "Coeur Trouble")

That must be why they did the Le Quatro project with Gina and Evoloko.
