did you guys know that 10 guys left the group just after airport when they arrived(among them drummer shaggy of PPU and mainly dancers)
they pretended to go see  some guys to get their gifts and never ever came back as they had fulfilled their dream of being in 'dreamland" europe

what surprises me is that one just lands in a foriegn country and survives. no job, no money.....how.

either girlfriends who take care of them,or they do some underground job(stealing and selling mainly) as they dont have papers, then you have guys like aimelia or serge mabiala who took time to get some formation  and started proper jobs

just acquired this concert.
I cannot explain how the two drumists played in sync.has it been done again by BCBG or any other group ? I like the song Mohammed Kaniasy where singers are introduced one by one .PPU interplay  with JB is nice.
questions
1. who were the instrumentalists on the trip?
2.who were the female dancers on the trip?
3.who were the singers on the trip.
4. were Genta and Tuti the only senior atalakus?
further questions to follow

let me try and answer my own questions after watching
instrumentalists
Synthe it was Theo Bidens, I think on solo it was Ficcare, mi-solo it was Moleso, drums it was Titina and Seguin i. e. two drum sets, rhythm guitar it was Alba Accompa, bass guitarist was Sunda Bass, mbonda I don't know

Female dancers... i only recognize two monica and marcation...also one looks like young zambrotta
singers Chai, JDL, kibense, Alain, Rio, Boguys, Mukena, Caludji  and PPU
Senior atalakus GentA and Caludji and reserve ataluku was young Kilimanjaro

Also Biku Lebruin.
I always confuse Biku Lebruin and Richard Mukena...help here

Me too' I used to confuse biku and mukena..........bcbg was better when mukena was there because of his contribution to diversity in voices. That is why singers like zulema are needed in bcbg.

EMO and Shamala, am surprised that you find/found it hard to distinguish between Mukena and Biku,they don't look alike and don't sing the same,Mukena sings deep bass and Biku sound like Werra or BCBG's Sakoko, Richard is now bigger than he was in BCBG so looks more like Alba Accompa

Here is Mukena


And below Biku the Londoner

who is married to bibi sucre from the above. by the way is there info on why mukena left?

It is Mukena who is Bibi's Sucre and they have 2 kids.

I have no idea why they left but if you remember it was a mass exit including Mboka Liya, Moleso etc,they all left at the same time when BCBG was touring Europe after being absent for several years,so it's likely they planned the departure a long time ago. JB who then came to London was left with no soloist, at the time it was reported that Ficarre had also stayed behind in Paris/Brussels but he opted to join the band in London but JB asked him to buy his own ticket to London as at the time I think JB had probably settled on making Patou the main soloist. It was after Ficarre came to London that they even had to edit the generique kipe yayo and caused further delays to the release of the album.
JB seems to be in good terms with all of them, he mentioned some of them on Soyons Serieux so it confirms he's easy going.

bikou left because of alain mpela's departure,he felt alone in the group as alain mpela was his best friend and mukena left because of his relationship with bibi which was contrary to the group rules

why did alain mepla left the band ?

(among them drummer shaggy of PPU and mainly dancers)

does anyone know the names of the female dancers

bikou left because of alain mpela's departure,he felt alone in the group as alain mpela was his best friend and mukena left because of his relationship with bibi which was contrary to the group rules

But the two were always in a relationship and were not on suspension? I think they were all just looking for an opportunity to come to Europe, why didn't he leave earlier.

I only confused them at the beginning but later mastered their faces.
