please explain to me why academia broke away and why it didnt last........what happened to their animator...dont know his name.........and what happened to suzuki and popolipo!
Like the case with most break aways,Sam Tshintu,Modogo,Buoro and company broke away from Koffi to form Quartier Latin Academia most likely because they felt they were getting peanuts from Koffi.They started quite well,their first album wasn't that but their second hit the spot and now leadership fights came in so some of the guy left.Sam Tshintu reorganised himself and is still running the band with new people backing him.I am sure you know that that the likes of Buoro,Modogo have been back and out of Koffi's QL,infact it is maybe about 4 times for Buoro to leave Koffi now,the last time he only stayed for a few months,i think he goes back for a few bucks and Koffi always welcomes him coz he is a great singer and dancer(Buoro),he's now working on a solo album after releasing Mortel with his older brother Alain Mpela.
From Academia,i don't know if Suzuki started by releasing his first album by joining or touring with JB Mpiana's BCBG but anyway,he also released a solo album in which Tutu Kaludji appeared.Suzuki is now back with Koffi Olomide.I don't know where Ya Popolipo is now,maybe in Europe somewhere like the ataluku CNN who is about to release his first album,the other ataluku Mboshi is also back with Koffi.
