"Zekete Zekete 2ème Episode" was also released in 1983, precisely in the month of August. It was recorded in Paris during another European tour. This album becomes the first to have animateurs. The name of the album is taken from the band's flagship dance at the time, the zekete zekete. D.V. Moanda died on January 10, 1984, at age 36. Until 1987, an annual concert was played in tribute to the founder of the band. Still in early 1984, the singer Likinga Redo was arrested in Grandola for drug possession. After mourning Moanda, a promoter from Gabon, Gustave Bongo (said to be related to Omar Bongo), proposed to the administrators of the band to sponsor the band. Singer Dindo Yogo also joined the band in the same year. Their tenth album named "On Gagne le Procès" was released in June 1984. It was issued on CD in 1992 by Sonodisc as "L'Authéntique Zaïko Langa Langa". The next album, entitled "Le Tout Choc Zaïko Langa Langa en Europe", was also published in 1984. During European tours of the band, albums were recorded in Europe, precisely in Brussels.

The tour was named Nippon Banzai. The name was also used for the band's sixteenth LP of the same title, a medley of Zaïko's older songs. It remains one of the most classic Congolese albums.

A two-day concert in the Palais du Peuple also took place in the same month to celebrate the group's 18th anniversary with guests such as Papa Wemba, Evoloko Jocker, Mavuela Somo and Félix Manuaku Waku. At this time, tensions were high within the orchestra, due to leadership issues, salary and unpaid royalties. On May 6, 1988,
