""Mopae" ushers Koffi Olomide into
the spotlight, the gentle, husky tenderness of his delivery astonishing
against the robust salsa backing. Aided by a soulful violin, Kinshasa's
lithe lothario (now probably the most popular artist in the whole Central
African region) carries the song a peak of yearning intensity that could
only be Congolese." (Mark Hudson)
