Ever changing, the group is reorganizing again with Nyboma and Dally Kimoko no longer members. They remain the hottest dance band around, best known for a medley of covers of past hits in songs like "Lagos Nights" and "Ghana Success".

The lyrics of Soukous Stars's song "Tantina" are filled with emotion and passion. The song begins with the phrase "Eh, ben! ben! ben! ben! ben! ben!" which is an exclamation of surprise or frustration. The singer then goes on to say that he has left the country and that "business is business." He tells Tantina, who is either a person or a place, that he loves her and wants to be with her, but he is not sure if he can hope for their relationship to work out. He is plagued by headaches and pain in his ribs, and he is tired of crying. He asks Tantina to hold him close and make him feel better.
The lyrics of "Tantina" express the singer's deep longing for love and comfort, as well as his frustration with his circumstances. The use of repetition, such as the repeated phrases "oh!" and "kuate, kuate," creates a sense of urgency and intensity in the song. The song is also filled with references to people and places, such as "Jean-Jackes Bertoux," "Aimé Weston," and "Loboko ya Monsato," which adds to its worldly and exotic feel.
