The album is good. It's only a shame that the quality isn't great like Nessy de London and Tremblement de Terre . It looks like Defao cut the sebene songs to let them being recorded in Europe with Abigael, Papy Louange, Bic Rouge, Fofo le Collegien and Ramazani with his brother Chirac Lulendo doing shout-outs making (his voice is close to Defao). Were the sebenes recorded in Kenya not impression Defao ? Chirac gave alot of people from Canada shout-outs, did the producer Rocco Massala give him those names or were the shows in Toronto and Montreal the apethose of Big Stars tour in Northern America ?
The effect Werrason vs Koffi beef and the succes of the albums Monde Arabe and Je m'Appelle Toi were like a virus. Many songs in this album sounded as sebene-song in the beginning to end up by being rumba's. I'am sure that they would have ended up in sebene-songs if they were recorded in the late 90s or early 2000s.
The guy starting the 3th sounded like Kabose and the guy in the fifth song sounded like late Eugene Makuta. Looks like Defao's staff recruited some singers in Kinshasa, when Big Stars disbanded in 2000 that were copycats of Montana, Kabose and late Eugene Makuta, to join the remaining musicians in Kenya. Back in 2001, I saw an atalaku animating in a VHS of Defao performing somewhere in Kenya and the atalaku was sounding exactly like Theo Mbala. Defao just needed to return to Kinshasa instead of letting enduring years long humilations abroad. Even war-criminals returned to Kinshasa in 2003 after the peace-talks of Sun City, so why should be afraid for. It's a shame that all that talent got wasted and in meantime singers that couldn't sing nor dance getting the space to breakthrough. I think that Defao's succes would have boosted even more with the departure of Montana, Renato and co, if he returned back immediately to Kinshasa after Nessy de London. But he was sadly to much focused on getting visa's for USA and later the rumor that something bad would happen to him in Kinshasa after having toured in Uganda. I really wonder what amount of money he received from that contract, because it was litteraly a curse. It made Big Stars disband.
The rhythm of Claude Mundele sounds like Koffi's Non Assistance and Defao gave Bourman Idolo a shout-out. This made me wonder if he's not the original writer of Non Assistance, because he claims to have written Malanda Ngombe and Tchernobyl for Koffi in Attentat or did Bourman already receive his Tchatcho-vaccination when giving the song to Defao ? Also were the songs prepared when he was still in Kenya with Defao or after his departure from Big Stars to join Quartier Latin in 2003 and was Bourman's name credited as songwriter of Claude Mundele and the other song on the credits or did it just stay with shout-outs.
