It took me alot of  time to like the album. Maybe because of his Extra Musica Zangul-idenity, which makes it weird to hear in a different music-style. I had the same problem with Suzuki's album Decompote Finale. The album was backed by Extra Musica International (artists like Jeannot Mbonda, Aymar Petit Motutu, Etats Unis, Yvan Agonga, etc.) and also artists like Dallas Yambosi, Suzuki Luzubu, the late Ocean, Philipe Guez


I remember to have heard some extracts of the sebenes of youtube around 2007-08 on a youtube-channel of a DJ who used to make compilations of ndombolo, soukous and coupe decale. Most ndombolo and soukous tracks on his channel were not really known. But the channel dissapeard after a few years





Jugement was released in 2003 just before the late Jean Pierre Saah got arrested. The arrestation of JPS Production's head  made it impossible for Abilissi get his album promoted on a proper way. Not even having recorded videoclips, just one.

Maybe because he doesn't own the rights (JPS' contracts)

If JPS Production never closed it's doors, do you think Abilissi could of had a successful solo career? When he left Extra Musica, he was one of the most recognizable members for his looks and dancing skills.

Did the French police ever prove those allegations against Jean Pierre Saah? I remember you said he repatriated back to Cameroon to avoid any potential indictment. I suppose the rumors were true since he got killed almost twenty years later...

lol, I am not a clairvoyant to know it. It is rare to see a tenorist succeed in Congolese music.

Jean Pierre Saah fled to Cameroon, so they hadn't the chance to juge him. He had alot of problems it started first with a visit of French customs, wanting him to pay an amount of one billion euros, later on they arrested him for an investigation of the CIA and French police that discovered that he was part of a network of Saudis based in Miami who were using his company for moneyl aundering. It was on the moment that they set him free to let him wait for lawsuit that he went quickly to Cameroon and never returned back to France.
