VHS made by Joel Photo Mbetenge of Viva la Musica's 13th Anniversary in february 1993 and their concert in Angola back in 1992 before the split.

I see Papa Wemba at some point singing the song Foridoles, while Koffi was  there invited as guest. People used to say that it was a diss-track towards Koffi (also a reponse to Noblesse Oblige, but some saying that the song wasn't meant for Wemba, but Nyoka Longo). So was it meant for Nouvelle Generation ? Anyway, back in the days music used to be different. Artists used to make diss-tracks and perform them in front to their "rival" and sometimes even joke with each other in private about the disstrack. After V12 Papa Wemba made peace with Koffi, but Koffi still performed Andrada in front of him, when inviting him for his 40th birthday at Intercontinental.

I would like a former band or staffmember to clarify about the song Foridoles and how the conflict with Koffi started and also from Koffi-side  about the songs Noblesse Oblige, Nouveau Testament (was it meant for one of Mobutu's children or a minister's child), if the story about Kamono is true and the disstrack Andrada against Wemba
