To be honest the sound quality, the arrangements, the mixing the great rhumba and the great Sebene makes this song one of the best by Extra it is in La Main Moire but.it.gives me.souch Amnistie Shalai/Trop C'Est Trop/Racine I vibes for the Sebene. Arafat is not even screaming.the first second and you can hear his.intonatiom being perfect

Many don't even know about this song because the album itself wasn't well received, with only the generique and the song Mogomboro doing well. Roga had the bad luck that the album was produced by Somina who didn't promote the album well and the videoclips being released 1 year later like he did with Koffi's Monde Arabe.

For me it's not one of Extra best songs nor that of Herman Ngassaki. Extra Musica's best songs are from the Zangul-era (1998-2004) and that of BPBL (1995-1997). Herman's best song is 12 Balles followed by Sissi l'Imperatrice (dedicated to his late mother).

The La Main Noire-album is seen as Extra Musica's worst album on term of arrangements and mixing. This album was heavily criticized by the public and rhe press. Many see the sound being to noisy, because of the sound of both the lead guitar and rhythm guitar being to loud the same for the keyboards and the chorus. The mixing wasn't done well.

Why don't you think this song is one of the best of Extra? Of course it is not at the spot of the songs made in Shalai or Trop C'Est Trop, but to me past those times where Extra was a really special group tbh this is one of the best Extra's Songs
