1 generique viagra,not as good as sanction,done with somono having to arrive to studio on sam's insistance just minutes after having escaped death in a car accident
but still a nice generique,the standard set by sanction and mcgyver djudjuchet perfect drum setting was surely too high to replicate 7/10
2 colation,an absolute classic of graduation parties in kinshasa,the song is about graduation i love the progression from what could just be a rumba into a chorus and change of rythm introducing a more dancing parts with good vocals from eric mente,tonton lay.. and explosive sebene 10/10
3 ezala zala,proper old school rumba by the legend beniko with a little south american vibe,and very good chorus lead dominated by moustapha gianfranco 13/10 lol
4 love story,somono song lead by suzuki with two different rythms and vocals by eric mente,abel benz and sudden explosive seben started by mboshi 7.5/10
5 reflexion sam tshintu with strong latin influence from the start then progression into rumba and the songs ends once again on latin influence with ocals of sam,modogo,abel benz.. 10/10 well executed
6 jules bm modogo song with of course himself le prof leading,proper quartier latin song,start with a slow part then evolves into a second rhythm more dynamic with vocals of abel benz,moustapha,tonton lay,sam tshintu and modogo himself 8,5/10
7 certitude another modogo song,proper rumba once again with sam leading chorus starts like tchatcho then evolves into rythms reminiscent of josky kiambukuta and ok jazz with vocals of moustapha,suzuki,sam and modogo himself 11/10
8 somunkiriye kintueni folkloric song credited to lebou but very influenced by somono and sam who are big fans of folklore,great adaptation of sam to the rythm with the accent and everything,two rythms and that catch phrase "ya antoine zela nga na coin" which caused polemic 6,5 because i did not like the second rythm much
9 kimpwaka by sam tshintu,with a structure for me reminiscent of koffi olomide self praise songs with sebene 7,5/10
10 vagues by mboshi lipasa,with vocals of eric mente,modogo,suzuki,with a strong quartier latin influence,could have been a loi song 8/10
11 tres fort by pathy bass,starts like a classic rumba and grows into into a dynamic chorus edgeing towards sebene rythm with a then a change of note to introduce vocal of modogo then some sebene introduced by mboshi and lead guitar by pitshou concorde 8/10
12 Chico by sam and somono, starts like old school rumba before growing into a short interlude of suzuki and modogo,then a little folkloric chorus and another chorus and of course sebene lead by somono,sounds like a droit de veto song at times 9/10
13 zabalumbu MY SONNGGGGG one of my favourite ever rumbas people surely do not notice it but in the beginning there is a short appearance of rio of bcbg in the chorus,this is one of those rumbas where the lead singer is out to have fun and showcase his vocal ability,and sam nails it with his versatile singing,with a little participation of the moustapha who comes in with one of the most famous muslims prayers(being a muslim himself)
this song has a personal meaning for him,i had an habit with albums to listen to once song several times per day then the next and it happens that the day i finished viagra with zabalumbu was the day i buried my first son,and this song was probably the only moment of the day that i had a bit of smile this day is and will always remain to me for its artistic and emotional value a 50/10 if that exists
