In April 2005, Atissou Loko, Adjabel's founder, leader and percussionist, had a serious fall during which he badly broke his left arm and leg. In the meantime the singer Mariame Kadi decided to part company with the group for personal reasons. All upcoming dates have therefore been cancelled. Atissou is recovering well. He is reforming the group this autumn with Peter Corser and some new musicians. He plans to bring out a new CD this winter.
