Rest in Peace Deo Sfr "Meilleur drummer d'Afrique"

All credits to Sec Bidens "Monganga" who was behind the sound of this concert and that of Bercy '02, Olympia 2000 and Wemba's very first Zenith with Reddy, Bendo, Stino, Ramazani and co.

Yes, the sound is good. The one thing that's lacking is the bass that other concerts have; maybe that's how the tuning was done

I think that it was the way the tuning was done. Some artists don't like heavy bass, which in their opinion lowers the impact of the lead guitar and in some cases all instruments (like Koffi's Zenith of 2001). Others don't like heavy drums for the same reasons.

On Wemba's Olympia, the drum sounded the way drums sounds in Reagge-concerts.
