I know some tunes from this album were included on normal Zaiko albums and concerts, too, but what about this one? Was it ever played live or only the studio version exist?

I believe that I’ve heard the sebene in old concerts of Zaïko during the mid 1990s when Baroza would play lead. The song itself was never played in concerts because the album itself is not an official Zaïko-album but a solo-album of Baroza. The recordlabel just used Zaiko’s name to sell more records. It’s also this album who made Baroza getting fired from Zaïko. Back around 1985-86, J.P. Buse would get fired from Zaïko for the same reason, after recording an album with Popolipo but the recordlabel putting Zaïko’s name. Popolipo would just get a 6 months suspension which got lifted quickly. Because of not being able to find someone to do Likinga’s voice, Zaïko hadn’t any choice than accepting JP Buse back for the Japan and Europe trip of 1986.



Talking about Baroza, he, Malage and Adamo were already fired for recording an album back in 1993 without authorization from Zaïko and using their name, but after writing letters to the admin of Zaïko, they got accepted back and receive a short suspension. When Baroza got fired they recruited Volvo from Madilu’s band. In 1997 when Zaïko was down, Baroza returned but he was seriously ill and wasn’t at some point not able to play guitare anymore. He would sadly pass away the same year
