here he was already a quartier latin member i think it was just not his destiny because he was introduced at la zamba by a very very very close werra friend so they would have found a solution so that he joins
From 1H00 and that he has a lost of respect for guys like wazekwa ,karmapa... and once again talks about his love for wenge musica with a funny imitation of werra lol
to explain it as simple as possible,equaliseur started missing concerts when his wife got pregnant( but far before the hardest moments,she was like 1 month pregnant) and he decided staying in europe and used that opportunity of having a baby boirn in belgium to get long term papers there,whereas the group is in kinshasa some friends of fally living in belgium then reported to fally that equaliseur had become to proud of himself now he remained in "dreamland" europe and he does not seem like wanting to return to group which needs him anyday,so fally on advice of his "friends' staff" (not the professional one mainly composed of non-congolese people) anticipates and gives him a sarcastic one year holiday and when equaliseur is back to kinshasa makes severy mocking comments about fally and his staff so ever since he has been like an enemy
Does Fally have more control of his career after leaving David? do you think he made the right decision?

yes ha has much more control but still listens to managers and his professional staff (sometimes unfortunately to the friends' staff aswell) yes it was the best because not only fally had understood now how the industry works but also he had got enough money now to producing his own songs like he did for most of power studio sessions,sweet life,french kiss...whereas with monsoh as a producer he was just asked to sing and thats it there was also something which make fally a bit angry about money from cd sales but its not necessary to develop it to much anyway despite that they have no conflict
Fally joins quartier latin in early 1999 and the day he is tested,impresses so much with his singing and dancing skills that quartier latin's admins make sure he applies for a passport as quick as possible,on koffi's demand few times after,koffi releases a video cassette announcing his concert of bercy in 2000,and fally is by far the new member who impresses the most europe-based quartier latin fans before that concert,fally heavily participates to koffi's solo album attentat in south africa as he is the one with most vocals in that album,as a sign of the immense faith and hope koffi has around him then comes bercy in february of 2000 and from the singers of the group he is the one who gets the warmest reception,and koffi even presents him in solo dances with much more honour than the rest of singers this is the birht of a new star,fally ipupa anelka and since koffi then had the policy of recording a solo album then a group album,its time for new group album force de frappe and of course fally is among those who gets songs,and like in attentat a lot of vocals and even shows his atalaku skills in the song au secours of binda bass his song éternellement,sang in duet with koffi,is a great success and confirms even more his popularity and his status of the main star of quartier latin he tours everywhere with koffi and keeps impressing and when koffi decides recording his album effrakata;his treatment is even more special as apart his vocals and bit of animation,sings the song effervescent in duet with koffi and dressed like koffi fally replaces soloist felly tyson dimbedi as the group's chef d'orchestre,assisted by drummer titina alcapone and sometimes is even interview on international tv and radios to give news about the group and koffi himself,another sign of his ever-growing influence in 2003,when quartier latin release their album affaire d"état fally becomes dicaprio and releases one song ko ko ko and the instrumental version of this song is even release on the second cd of album,unlike any other of the members in 2004,koffi olomidé releases solo album monde arabe where fally once again co-leads a song,essili,but also is the only singer to have a vocal in one of album's biggest hit eputsha from that point,fally starts having dreams of an album as he has already proven a lot as a co-lead singer,lead singer of his songs and in vocals and starts buying many songs and co-writing some with friends but he takes time to prepare announcing it to his boss,he keeps the project private and keeps participating to group' s activities and remaining as serious as before(fally barely got a warning let alone a suspension in his quartier latinc career) One year after he participates at maxi single boma nga na elengi aswell as recording of group album danger de mort, but also announces to koffi his decision of releasin his own album,but at the beginning koffi does not want,private negotiation are then organized with some influent people are quartier latin and "on fally's camp" which gives him advice of threatening to leave if he is not given authorization finally koffi accepts but keeps that part of story to protect fally but also maintain that image of a leader who treats his favourites like princes the decision of releasing his album is then presented at a group reunion,but very few musicians are up for that idea let alone participating(those who had no problem with it participated on album) fally then spends,according to him, the heardest days of his professional life,recording both on group album and his solo project on tv's he announces the song associé as his song on danger de mort but changes his mind and replaces with a "less good" song"pharmacien,saving associé for his solo album also since,his album is produced by david monsoh who is in conflict with koffi over a "political polemic",koffi has zero control on fally's album and does not even pazrticipate many people around fally try to convince him to abandon that project since at that time only big band leaders had a lot of success with their albums but being the "positively stubborn'(like he says) and very confident person he is,he ignores the septicism and goes ahead in summer of 2006,he releases his solo album droit chemin, but had neglected promotion of his song pharmacien as he is focused on his album in europe,album is straight away praised for its quality but yet to make massive impact like big band leaders' albums,but few times after the song liputa starts to get serious popularity and suddenly a big wave of success follows and fally starts getting contracts to present his album when asked whether he is still a quartier latin member,he does not admit he has gone solo preferring to find formulas to say he has a foot outside but he still a member of the family one year after release he starts getting awards in paris and plans a big concert in a mythic hall of paris to confirm the success of his album he picks the "smallest"(in terms of crowds) but most legendary,olympia,but is not far from cancelling the concert at the last moment,but his stubborness strikes again in fact,few times before concert,he struggles to get visas for his musicians,as some people call embassies to tell them fally is not taking with him musicians but rather illegal immigrants aka ngulu( so that the concert fails or even is cancelled) on the 26 visas he wanted,he is given 10 visas but told that if only one of the 10 remains in paris he loses his french resident card so he arrives the day of concert with the 10 musicians with are mixed up with session artists to produce a good show on that 7th of april of 2007 in that concert,he sings an extract of a future song cadenas which pleases fans a lot,and after that concert he continues touring in several countries and starts having several feats with african and afro-french artists one year later he starts recording second album he calls arsenal de belles melodies and still touring,winning awards,doing feats... in may of 2009 he is invited by legendary zouk group kassav at their concert at stade de france and few times later releases album arsenal de belles melodies,after having teased fans with two songs,generique bicarbonate and rumba tsho the much awaited cadenas is one of the stand out songs of album,which features american singer olivia longott on the song chaise electrique and caribbean ragga singer krys on the song sexy dance like with droit chemin,album takes a bit of time to completely convince fans and get a massive popularity the success of album motivates fally to go for a second mythic hall of paris,zenith,one day after new year 2010,and has a massive success,having with him several guests he featured on two solo albums and collaborated with on singles the clip of cadenas allows fally to break into some tv channels where no congolese musicians ever were showed thanks to participation in that clip of a famous reality show candidate for exactly one year after his zenith concert,he plans a second zenith but it does not happen because of combattants( a group of people blocking concerts for political and personal reasons) two months after,he tries again,and his musicians arrive in a very difficult condition but due to fally's determination he goes on stage despite combattants having managed to scare most of the crowd and amke sure they do not enter zenith hall,in that controversial and short concert he sings an extract of future album(the song mokek's) in summer 2011 he participates to a big african concert at stade de france with werrason and jessy matador as other congolese artists,but once again in a tough context two years after those even,fally finally releases his third album,power "kosa leka',after having teased with single sweet life and generique power 001,album is out on 4th of april this third album further establishes fally as an african star and he gets a three album contract with label universal AZ He then starts to prepare a "crossover" album like he calls it,with american,african and also possibly congolese stars as guests but takes his time as he has to cope with the very demanding "typical congolese career" with a lot of concerts all over Africa aswell as national concerts to promote his album on 5 of may of the current year he releases single original which is an instant hit and announces shortly afterwards he will allow his musicians to record a group album excepted before december as for his international album,he wants to release it in early 2015 or summer he has the project of playing at the third massive hall of paris,bercy but the combattants affair makes it impossible at the moment
nothing at all, but since congolese music is centered in kinshasa which is a lingala speaking city and innocent speaks swahili more than lingala the contact with fans would not be as eeasy as others, you see what i mean they are plenty of swahili speakers between kinshasa boys(adolphe,brigade,capuccino to name a few)but they sing in lingala much more you see what i mean?
this could well happen,especially as he already has experience with the group from the generation of kibens ficarré to the one of fudji abel and co all those were already there 10 years ago when he was tested but also his relationship with fally could have a role,with jb having adopted the policy to not going for controversy over ex members of groups
i have a funny anecdot about him in talent latent,him and genta went on national tv to announce a small concert somewhere and borrowed clothes from friends to "wear like musicians' with sunglasses and so on' but they forgot genta's dad papa lisimo liongemba( rip) worked there and it was actually him who opened the door to them they were so panicked that they said we just wanted to say hello to you and went home later (genta's dad was strongly against any idea of him becoming a musician it was school or you move back to village)
