Since the evolution of congolese music from the mid 90s, groups with more than one atalaku have had more success than those with just one. Djuna Mumbafu succeeded as a single atalaku because Pepe Kalle and Empire Bakuba suceeded generally. variation of animations from two atalakus was and is still refreshing. So for me one is too monotonous. Two or more is welcome. Thanks to Fally, you can now use 100 atalakus (exaggerating here) on the same song. That is refreshing but limits the animations to maybe one or two at the most.
The Bill/Celeo, Brigade/Bebe Kero, era pretty much was the format for most bands around that time.
