Career

Born in 1976, the group, created by Guy Houllier and Yves Honore added that the successes such as "LA OLA Mizik YE" and "PLAS BAY LI". It also represents the great Romantic era marked by slows immortal as "Whilfried", "Vivre pour toi", "Isabelle" ... and other tunes with "Carmelina", "Lanmou sé on danjé". They are decidedly melt in love. Indeed, they have the audacity, in the Carnival (1983), is an album of "straining your" winning a huge success as it was unexpected. But with "Goudjoua" and especially Roro, that was the first hit to reach the national charts, they are not forgotten about the explosive atmosphere that it gives off.
