That's really bad what Roga & Espe did to Durrel. It's crazy how it also led to the split.

Lol, the way Quetin played Simon to not let Guy-Guy Fall participated to Super Helico hahaha. Quetin wanted total control, but he ended up by doing nothing when being on his own.

yeah he wanted total control while having the mindset of a jean goubald more than the one of a jb werra koffi fally ferre
its like oxygene too,wanted full leadership while he is too much of that soft intellectual profile these guys need strong people around to keep going no wonder the extra dynasty was totally down until nouvel horizon arrived all of them being of profiles not suited for popular leadership(either much more of solo singers like copa or bastin later or that philosophical thing were music is easily put aside to do something else like quentin and oxy) except guyguy and hermann but they faced struggle unfortunately

I thought Espe Bass was innocent and endured many of Roga Roga's bullshit, but in reality he is just as dirty as Roga Roga but hides it well. I wonder why Roga never gave him the permission to do his album sooner.

Espe Bass doesn't have clean hands. He was always part of conspiracies until the La Main Noire-days. It's just that people often point the finger to Roga. Espe Bass and Roga Roga were best friends since day 1 and were like family because their parents were already friends. They were like twins, it just that money and power change people.

Roga doesn't want Espe to do his album, because he fears to lose the ultimate control he received after La Main Noire. Espe Bass had normally to do his album immedialty after that of Roga Roga like they planned back in the Obligatoire days. There are musicians who say that Espe Bass an excellent singer. Some even say that he's the true founder of Extra Musica and not Roga Roga. Which could be true, because the decision to start Extra Muscia started in his partents house. But Espe not being interested claiming that role.

Transition plz

But if Roga doesn't want Espe to do his album (for the same old reasons: fear of somebody singing better then him and consequently taking shine out of Riga) why is he now promoting on Bokoko at 3:41




"Tokobina, na Decembre Album 'a Saudien"


And also in PoutPourri at 6:14



"Espe Bass Grand Prêtre, Le Saudien, Na Décembre, album nayo Papa, vanda na Ngwende nayo"

The album of Espe Bass?

First. I had never seen someone be praised so much by Roga, calling him Papa, saying sit in your throne etc.
Second, why hyping Espe Bass's album so much? If he had never give him the chance in 20 years?

It is weird, plus what benefits does Espe has in the band that he kept staying there for so long, because from the other people testimonies, you get paid when Roga is in good.mood, you survive off of Mabanga (and Espe is a bassist, not even a guitarist) and Espe seeks a very calm and laid back personality whom doesn't speak a lot

I will take Durell Loemba's version of creation of Extra Musica over any other because he has been consistent. The others always say things to suit themselves or their standing with either camp.

I now understand why Durell sided with Quentin when the split happenned. I heard Roga Roga say in one interview when he was asked as to whom among those who left the group (from the first split) that he regreted seeing them leave and Roga Roga answering saying that he regrets that Durell Loemba left with the others. According to him (Roga), Durell had no better reason to leave and yet Roga and Espe Bass chewed his share of the Guinea trip monies even while knowing that Durell's mother, who was like a mother to Roga and Esperance was seriously sick and Durell probably needed money to sort out the medical expenses.
