"The song "Argent Ne Fait Pas le Bonheur" is unbelievable. I am not sure who is playing the guitar, (Diblo? - I think I hear his name shouted out amongst the licks) but this has got to be one of the tightest, 'soulfulest' guitar/vocal compositions I have heard, and I own about 40 Congolese Soukous and Rumba albums. The other songs on the album are all gems. Especially: Moyibi, Gérant, and of course there is (Roger) Milla. If you want one Pepe album, or one soukous album for that matter, own this one."
