- This production is in fact the best produced technically as far as sound is concerned.
Having just split from the original Wenge, JB M'piana unleashed this group project in Paris and instantly became the best album of the year...the song 'Omba' was nominated for the best song of the year ( sharing the award with Werrason's 'Chantal Switzerland').
The peoples' main favorite songs are 'RDC' thanks to the diverse folkloric tunes and 'Proces Mambika' particularly because of that seben portion that Burkina Fasso unleashes- the best seben solo part that he has ever made in Wenge!
