You can tell by way he’s observing the repetitions he’s not fully sure yet, putting the musicians on edge to step up. I wouldn’t be surprised if the call comes close to the concert.

His confidence in QL fashion seems to have improved since the abruptly short US tour, where he changed his mind and called upon mostly veteran session artists based in the US to back him

Maybe my expectations are too high but even QL Fashion isn’t convincing me, at least this line up isn’t. I preferred the first generation of Latino Fashion with Junior CNN Tony Ambrosio and co. Even the skin line up aren’t impressing that much either, I hope I’m wrong though

That QL Fashion crew had strong motivation with the hype leading up to the ill-fated U Arena, then they dispersed when Koffi abandoned the comeback attempt and returned to Kin for a long stretch. It seems now some guys aren’t sure if this is just for Koffi’s entertainment or if they’re actually going to do a concert circuit.

Also, a lot of those guys didn’t like it at all when Cindy started coming to Paris, imposing her will as boss and changing the energy

Yeah the U Arena team looked decent and hungry and like I previously stated a lot of the members left the group as soon as Cindy got her visa because they didn’t want to risk sitting on chairs and singing at the concert. It was some members from Kin that called them to warn them about what was going to happen which scared a lot of the Europe musicians and they ended up leaving and not answering Koffi’s calls anymore which forced him to recruit more session artists and then when Cindy arrived it got worse and more left.

Just look at Suzuki for example he shamelessly said in an interview that Cindy is his musical mother which is insane because he’s almost old enough to be her dad.

Is Suzuki not 7 years older than Cindy?

nahh suzuki is between 12 and 15 years older
i think you can tell that koffi is lacking an experienced figure around him to help him out in choice,for example how sam or suzuki in their time would be consulted to propose a lineup  for a tour,or depitcho's influence on the generation bercy
and even with his music he clearly lacks now that impact from musicians,just because he finds songs cool with that rubbish programmed drums things is enough for him to overhype his imminent release of remix,he'd do a perfect arsenal coach with his ability to overhype things

Those cheap programmed drums he’s been using at his home studio has made his recent works unlistenable for me. It’s almost unbelievable to be he went from having the best drum/bass/mbonda tuning setup in his classic works to having amateur hour instrumentals, with overboosted bass to compensate.

No matter what age we are, we need a trusted advisor who will give a reality check and guidance on situations. His previous Staff Executif de Quartier Latin which had a number of notable figures, has been reduced to a bunch of yes-man for years now and it shows.

and this shows you also the bad side of "trying to stay in touch with the trend",i am convinced that for him those programmed drums is a way to give that afrobeat like beats which is trendy,coco tshomba kapangala champion cambodge tshetshe de bal all had their moment of glory having to play drums properly,suira,late lita bembo son and the new on are out there forced to play programmed stuff(if its not neymar synthe doing it for them) in a country where you have to hit drums hard and fast to be respected as a drummer
how on earth can you go from a gamechangeing drum in loi to chicotte a papa like drums on a remix,if you want to do remix  at least upgrade the drums sound,like  the jb ndombolo remix  or intervention rapide remix

I see Bouboul, who are the other people in the picture?
