On the record the mi-solo was played by Thierry Mantuika, but since the international tour was mainly the result of the international success of this song, Franco had an obligation to play on it now.

Ntoya on drums and I'm not sure about the sax players, possibly Matalanza on the left. Percussionist slipped my mind. More info: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsfz59_pV3E

(Note: It seems the producers did not have all the sounds completely covered with footage so in some instances, they substituted missing pictures with footage from other songs.)

Very enjoyable video but quite depressing that at least 85% of these exceptionally talented folks are dead, some dying in impoverishment. Worse off all, this video is approximately 30 years old, yet these folks died while under 60 years of age. Our greatest tribute to them is not just to watch/listen to their creation, but to also interpret it. This is where I implore our Congolese friends to make efforts to sum up what every posted music is all about. Great job once again, Aboubacar Siddikh
