I hope someone has the video of Choc Stars performing in Angola that's when Djudjuchet and Zemano Kanza joined.

Did Gina Efonge wanted to join Familia Dei?

Wow, that's the photo used in the cover of the medley Carnaval. Didn't know it was in Angola.

Yes !!! Now after reading the article, I understand why, the album is called Carnaval

I know it's a pain but can you translate what the article said please?

Those letters become hazy when I  zoom in.

lol, seeing Nyboma's article, its not long time ago that he was invited by Ado Yuhe and talked about Verckys saying that its because of him that he made those buildings. Verckys was a big thief, letting young artists sign slave contracts giving him the right to get 100% of the royalties from the songs that they will release under the label of Veve for having instruments in return.

I didn't know that Choc Stars had also succes in Angola. I though they had only succes in Congo, Zaire and the two small former colonies. I'm surprised to see that they filled the Estadio da Cidadela. I also always thought that those pics were from Stade de 20 Mai. Did those Angolans really come for them or was it a festival ? Because 24 November is their independece day right ?

Gina Efonge's absence at Zaiko 18th Anniversary was due to Laudert Londala, but why? I noticed that there always problems with Gina Efonge when there is reunion of old Zaiko-members. Zaiko's 40th anniversary was cancelled because of him. So Mavuela Somo was happy with Gina's absence ?

1988 was succesful year for Koffi Olomide with the succes of the LP's Rue d'Amour & Henriquet. He was after Bozi Boziana (he had crazy succes from 1985 to 1990, but it looks like people forgot about it) and King Kester Emeneya, the 3th star of the year.

I always think Gina Efonge is a trouble maker.

Angola's independence day is on the 11th of November. After Choc Stars triumph in Angola, they went to Europe to record Carnaval and Ben Nyamabo collaborated with famous producer Tony Baron (RIP) and released Nakombe Nga and that's when all Choc Stars album was used by a drum machine I hope has a video of Angola concert.

I know it's a pain but can you translate what the article said please?

In summary, for the Choc Stars article, he speaks that Fioti Uomo wants to organize a 3 day festival with Ben Nyamabo at the bar Vis à Vis, the name of the Festival is Carnival, that they are recording a Medley album and an album with new songs at the same time.

they also speak that the group went on tour in Angola, Paris from the end of May until October.

drumstar98 have you saved concerts of Choc Stars between 1986 and 1989. I would like to find the concert of 1986 with the arrival of Debaba and Carlito then the concert of 1989 with the presentation of the Sundama Dance

I'd love to take a closer look at that Quartier Latin article!

I have both concerts of the 1986 and 1989. A little fact the 1989 concert was their last concert before they went to Brazzaville to record the album "Saison Seche" afterwards they went to Europe.

In short, the article talks about concerts in common with zaiko and quartier latin , sponsored by skol and laudert production in December 1988, they say that zaiko made a great show with an unlimited repertoire, which jossart has spatted everyone with his dances! Concerning Koffi olomide and his band, koffi has very good songs, everyone is amazed that koffi dances, then they have a duo between the two bands to finish with a very dancing concert end with zaiko with Nono on fire

Oh yes !

You realize my dream, I’ve been looking for these concerts for several months, can you please send them to me? I could do Choc Stars session tonight.

Thanks !

Yes they did this concert before saison sèche and kashala remix of djanana! This concert is crazy, defao is on fire in dance, I like their outfits like gendarmes or sailors
