Now, 20 years later (13-10-2006 / 13-10-2026), I’m still of the opinion that Danger de Mort deserved a better reception. People were too harsh against  it.I’m still grateful that Koffi finished the  music videos and even filmed some footage in Kinshasa, while many of the singers had already left. While during  Droit de Veto,  he only shot Rond Point, Droit de Veto and Sens Inverse. Would y’all have believed in 2005 or 2006  if someone told you that Danger de Mort would be Quartier Latin’s last album?



Until this day, I wonder why Philipe Guez didn't participate to the album, while he participated to albums like Faux Mutu Moko Boye, Temoignage and Droit Chemin, who were all recorded in that period. Although his absence, Mbetenge and JC Tshituka did in my opinion a good job





It is crazy that Mbetenge had to wait until B.E.K. to get recogition from the public, while his work on Danger de Mort was titanious. Koffi even credited Mbetenge next to him and JC Tshituka among the arrangers of the album. I recently saw an interview with Mbetenge and Popol Mopasula, where Mbetenge said that Koffi was on the plane and asked Fally about him, only to find out that he had left Mbetenge behind in Kinshasa. He was surprised by  because he needed Mbetenge to finish the work they did in Kinshasa in Paris. Rumors say that there was a rhythm-guitarist (I won't cite his name) went to a witchdoctor to be on the Europe-list, which apparently why Mbetenge got left behind

I’ll be real it took me 18 years to like the album, I hated it in the beginning. I was expecting a double disc and more sebene so I was disappointed. I was also looking forward to hear Mirage and Asso in the album because they were credited but only to discover their vocals were erased. I was expecting it to be like Force De Frappe or ADT level but I felt let down. It’s only now that I can say the album is good Mbetenge did a really good job the sound was excellent.

Why wasn’t the album a double disc? I feel like they could’ve added more songs and even another Generique which was normal since Effrakata.

Not going to lie, this album pissed me off for a while. My initial thought was “you had assembled the equivalent of the Avengers and this is what you release?? In addition you cut the vocals of your popular recruits?”

Another way to put it is listen to ADE, then play DDM right after and see the level of drop-off in production.

As time passed and releases got limited I started to better like the album. The compositions were solid and the limited sebene enjoyable . For the difficult recording problems, producer challenges , and ngulu affair problems - it was the best of what could have been done for the circumstances. Agree Mbetenge and JC Tshituka saved their asses with the arrangements.

Droit Chemin especially and Sous Sol made this album sit in waiting till the buzz died a bit on those releases. Wazekwa was also fairly hot at that time following  Faux Mutu Moko Boye and the single Mosapi Liboso. JB also was cooking Kipe Ya Yo then and doing previews and gaining momentum. With Koffi losing most of the QL team and this album flopping, he was in shambles at the end of 2006.
