I knew that Koffi wanted to humilate Gesasc, Hono Kapinga (also thinking that they want to form a second Academia with Joss Diena), but why didn't Arabe Youssouf, Tshe Tshe le Balle the two Mikwapins go? Did he not receive enough visa's like the 100 euro-concert that go cancelled ?

I think they didn't go because for example with Tshe Tshe de Balle, Koffi already had Champion in Europe, which was the same thing for the Europe tour in 2006, Zenith of 2007, That small Europe tour of 2007. Arabe same thing since there was already Junior and Zoe in Europe. About the Mikwapins, Cindy was really jealous of those girls, as she wanted to be the absolute only female star. So she probably used her status to block them from coming.

Jos Diena had zero chance. That must have been a huge humilation, being also the chef d'orchestre at that time. There used to be an interview of him on youtube, where a journalist tried to mock him for being left behind for Zenith de Paris, but it got deleted. Gabanna immediatly quit and tried to join Maison Mere where he was again humilated during his test.

Yeah Joss being left behind must've been super humiliating, imagine being Chef d'orchestre being left behind for a concert at Zenith, that's just unheard of.
I think the guys that were performing at Zenith especially the singers were lowkey pissed and humiliated at having to be pretty much a background singer to Cindy. Just look at Asso and Jitrois's faces throughout the concert, they were barely smiling whilst at other concerts before 2009 they were looking happy and smiling.
I also felt sorry for Junior he looked so awkward and out of place with the rest of the guys, it seems he didn't rehearse with them a lot and wasn't used to the sudden change to the group that he was once in, He just didn't fit.

I was so disappointed to not see Joss, Babia and Arabe with them. The concert itself wasn't bad, but i'd have preferred it to be a Koffi and QL concert.

The goal was to present Cindy Le Coeur. It had normally to be an acoustic concert, but it made many Koffi-fans mad, saying that they wanted to dance. Koffi then changing the concept and making from it a live concert with and bringing an atalaku. You can see the on poster of that show it was announced as a acoustic-show.

 :D :D :D :D ahh latino, its still difficult to me to realise that that woman wearing same uniform like the guys or making some appearances on tv along with mj and joss diena would become pretty much almost a second solo artist in quartier latin

I remember after Werra's Zenith of 2008, Sankara de Nkuta mocking Koffi about  their Zenith being a huge mpiaka (which was true) and claiming that the concert-promoter deciding not to release the DVD, because of that. Francis Kakonde then (I don't know if I became a pro-Koffi journalist or was sended by Koffi-fans) went in the next volume to a shop (I think Eti Kimbukusu) and then found the rare DVD of Koffi at Zenith '07, which made Werra's camp mad and for a moment being in war against journalist Francis Kakonde, while just did his job.

 

from 3:18 min (from 5:17 min also a little shot to BCBG who a had little tour the same year)

Btw is Werrason a defender of LGBT rights in Congo? Because look at his clothes.

Must be because of not a big producer like Diego Music, Badive, Manu Luvaka or Eti Kumbukusu having promoted the DVD. Also the show hadn't a huge impact.

As I said, Koffi became Cindy centered and decided to throw away potential good talents. I mean both older and younger cast. He could have done one disc with him and Cindy and another one with late Babia, Suzuki, Junior Kingombe, Joss Diena, and Jitrois on another disc with Mopao singing as he sees fit. But instead, everything became Cindy centered and now QL is a shithole group. The only good singer from the current is Omba. The rest don't impress me one bit.
