5.0 out of 5 stars Koffi is no joke, January 17, 2003

Some key songs in this 2 disc CD set are just awesome:
-Génération Bercy
-Effrakata
The other songs are also great too but these 2 are deadly. I think only Extra Musica can get close to this guy. If you liked "Loi" then you will love this.

1.0 out of 5 stars Koffi Needs to Stop Making The Same Record Over and Over, August 1, 2005

Why did this have to be a two record set? Koffi Olomide is definitely a great writer and performer. I realize that he is now swimming in money as a result of pedaling this formulaic, unimaginative stuff. Koffi has definitely settled into a formula, please don't tell me this is simplly Ndombolo. As long as people are buying and celebrating this as great Congolese music, he'll continue to give them what they want. I have some pre-Ndombolo records from Koffi that I absolutely love and treasure. I love his voice and he is capable of writing the best music. Now that you've got all the money, Koffi, take a chance and do something different or you're going to end up the Donna Summer of Congolese music instead of the Bob Dylan of Congolese Music. I noticed that even Martin Sinnock, in his column in The Beat, finally wrote something critical about Koffi's repetetive record production. As much as I love Martin Sinnock's writing, prior to that article, he seemed to be stuck on the same bandwagon as everybody else who reviewed this record as something great.

5.0 out of 5 stars He do it again, October 16, 2002

He is the best. The creater of Ndombolo. And now he start a new style again. The beat is more cool than you can emagine. It is impossible to sit still when it's drivin'.
Don't even think to buy this album. Just do it and be Happy
