Shortly before the recording of the album, three major members of the group, Meridjo Belobi, Oncle Bapius and Modikilo Modeste, left the band to form Zaïko Langa Langa Universel. Apart from a tour in Paris, the ensemble also performed in the Benelux. The same year, a documentary on the band was made and released by Yves Billon "Zaïko Langa Langa, le goût du travail bien fait". 2002–2009: Zenith concert and Brussels headquarters In 2002, Zaïko Langa Langa performed in the mythic arena Zenith Paris.
