I'm surprised to hear JB Mpiana saying in this interview that TH would have 13 songs (which would become 15). In this interview he explained why he didn't release TH in November 1999 like promised and it's talking a long time to get released (people were claiming that he was scared for Solola Bien and not wanted the same experience, that happened to Titanic when Force d'Intervention Rapide got released in the same period, prefering to release Bonne Année "Ya Pas Photo, Ya Pas Match"), JB gave the example of Titanic and people started later discovering songs that they didn't knew and discovering late that it was a top album, while in the beginning it got heavily critized and adding the way artists kill were killing their own album (Defao,..) by releasing every year a new one. JB also said that Kaludji joined the singing section, after seeing that he alot atalaku's followed his style "Ecole des Calugistes". (It made later Bill and Celeo mock Kaludji for quitting his role as atalaku. Creating thea cri "Ya Mavondo" in Terrain eza Mine, claiming that Bill Clinton finished Kaludji). They also talked about his event at Stade de France hahahaha. Saying that he's isn't scared for Stade de France. Zacle also asking at some point about Wenge BCBG later being based in Europe, but JB saying that Kinshasa would still stay the headquarter of Wenge BCBG (after coming back from Zenith & Olympia, a rumor kept haunt for 2 years, about JB wanting to not wanting to live in Kinshasa anymore for the way he was treated by the press and influent musicians and politicans trying to kill his career). At the start of the interview Zacle, asked him why he doesn't decide to have a solo career with session musicians backing him, instead of having a real band and JB Mpiana saying that it's not bad, but it would be selfish on his side to fire his own musicians out of nowhere. They also talked about the departures of Aimelia & Burkina Faso (who just left when they came in Europe) without naming their names, saying that departures in his bands are due to indiscipline.
After it Zacharie Bababaswe went to interview Titina, Kaludji and Alain Mpela who came in Europe to finish TH (I wonder how Gentamicine felt when hearing that they erased his parts to replace it with the new animations of Kaluji, creating debts from the people he received money to mention their names in his cri's) and also Francis Kalombo & Dominique Kabengele. Alain Mpela and Titina dissing Werrason "Alain saying a monkey is looking a way to bleach his skin, Titina adding but he will never get the beauty of a human", refering to the way Werrason bleached his skin during the Solola-Bien days, they also explained the meaning of the nickname Bin Adam. Later they were bragging about their new cars, (Imagine Burkina Faso not being left behind and also getting his car, hahahahaha). Titina again explaining why TH took a long time to get released and him indirectly dissing Werrason, saying that he they used record albums under high pressure in Wenge 4x4 and someone "Werrason" stealing their money and putting pressure on them. Alain Mpela joining saying that there are comedian-artists in music (reffering once again to Werrason and also Adolphe, for the way he used to do multiple chereopgraphies in his concerts) and real-artists (giving himself as example, and calling Adolphe a faux chanteur, saying he doesn't know how to dress and just talk bullshit, while he could sing with Julio Iglesias and Stevie Wonder), saying that Bercy pass and their event at Stade de France is there. Titina and Alain Mpela saying that the PPU's had to be patient, giving their hard time towards stardom as example (Titina then having once again to attack Werrason, talking about the way he refused to give him money, to help him pay the rent and water).
