Loool I actually really like this album, I just didn’t like how Modogo and Mboshi didn’t get to songs on it, I wish it had more songs. But yeah I didn’t like it became too focused on Sam and the musicians only had one vocals. It’s the album sexy chocolat which really pissed me off loool

Lol Mfumu has mentioned it so many times, it was a bigger success than Viagra.

I hope to see the 4 Coins Kandala-clips who were made in Kinshasa with Modogo one day.

Sam had in reality just one song on this album. They recorded the remix-version of Zabalumbu, just to introduce the new singers of Academia and it was also the song where all members used to do vocals on it in concerts. Moprima was added to the album, because they signed a contract with Primus at time and them wanting a song dedicated to them for adds, The rest were just generics.

Academia wanted to release their album. But they weren't getting visa's for their Olympia and Europe-tour and also not finding a proper record-label who could fulfill their conditions. So not be out of fthe race (back in those days bands and solo-artists were releasing albums every year) they recorded quickly 4 Coins Kandala as an EP and preview of their album Droit d'Asile. In Droit d'Asile the admins Modogo and Mboshi and also musicians like Musika-sika, Pitshou Concorde, Tonton Lay, Eric Menthe, Guy Bazunga and co were susposed to have songs with it. But the musicians in Kinshasa were leaving the band one by one, since that all admins were staying to long in Europe until that Academia in Kinshasa disbanded and Sam Tshintu being left alone in Europe with Modogo and Mboshi and them wanting to make world-music.

It actually exists? Wow I hope it gets uploaded.

Yeah, it was due to Viagra being released in the same period as Affaire Tonya Tonya and Internet, who came out in the same month, which made most people being focused on the war of the albums Kibuisa Mpimpa vs Internet and Adolphe's Affaire Tonya Tonya against Kibuisa. Viagra couldn't breath, because just 2 months after it Effrakata, Bonheur and Bakala dia Kuba got released which made Viagra not getting the attention it deserved. Viagra couldn't also get promoted properly because Sam and his friends decided to cut their contract with recordlabel Secteur A. At the same time, the admins Lebou Kabuya and Pathy Bass along with Suzuki decided to leave the band, the moment Academia returned to Kinshasa one week after the relase of Viagra. It all killed Viagra. The situation of 4 Coins Kandala was different. They spent a long time in Kinshasa with those open-air concerts in the areas (Masina, Matete, N'djili, etc.) sponsored by Primus and Primus also helping promoting their EP properly. At time they weren't albums on the market, all big artists postponing their albums to 2003, except Werrason with a la Que Leu Leu who came out in the last days of 2002.

Oh really? That makes sense similar to how Jb released the single of the Papito Mbala remix in 1999. Must've been so bad for Eric Menthe and Tonton Lay they became important members of Academia then the problems started and both went to Bcbg and QL respectively and had to start right at the bottom of the pecking order, with Eric waiting 4 years to record a Vocal where he re did the Vocal from Z2 in Francis Solution and then finally getting a song in SS, but he still wasn't able to show his full talent in bcbg unlike Academia. Also Tonton Lay leaving QL quickly I'm sure he would've had a vocal in Longitima Skol if he stayed.

Loool that's nothing my guy, most people spend over 10 years in a group to wait and most still get no vocals.

Eric Menthe had personal problems with admin Kis Kisolokele. Because he agreed with Kis to give his passeport (which had some old visa's of UK, Europe because of Academia), to bring a ngulu to UK. Then on the last minute, when the ngulu was about to go to Europe, Eric changed his mind and went to the embassady saying that it was his passeport. The it messed the trip for the ngulu up. Kis was really furious and promised to himself that he would make it hard for Eric in Wenge BCBG. That's why it took so long for Menthe to get a chance in Wenge BCBG. Eric Menthe problem with Seguin about a sidechick made his situation worser.

Do you think it would've been better for him to join QL? Since his voice was a bit similar to Ferre and Babia.
