According Ndombolhino Fally Ipupa will perform coming May at Stade Massamba Debat in Brazzaville

Looking back on it, Fally fans have a point. Because most events were indeed sportevents and festivals. Werrason performed there 7 times and 6/7 of times it was not really on his name. The first time was in 1999 just a weeks after having done his first Stade des Martyrs when coming back from Europe. It was not a huge succes, there was heavy rain and the stadium was empty. On the same moment Academia Quartier Latin were performing at a packed Palais de Congres in Brazzaville. The second time was during the first edition of FESPAM summer 2001 which was a huge succes.

Seeing that Werrason was able to pull big crowds, politicians and sportorganisations were often making use of Werra's aura to get their national stadium packed. In 2002 just before Double Zenith Werrason was invited to perform there for Denis Sassou Nguesso's presidential campaign to get the stadium packed for his speech.



In 2003, there was a basketball-final in their stadium once again they invited Werrason. The full VHS "un envahisseur à CFA" used to be on Seben Total's youtube-channel but it deleted. A few months later he would perform at the same stadium for FESPAM



In 2006 there was a big final of atlethics or youth football. To get a packed stadium they need Werrason and his band to perform there



The last time was in 2010. Werrason was touring in Europe, but got an in invitation to perform at Stade Massamba Debat for a sport-final that took place in order to get packed stadium. He decided perform with Operation Dragon (Ile de Cambodge, Robinio Mundibu and co), only bringing Heritier Watanabe and Brigade with him from Europe. Extracts of this concerts used to be on youtube on Drigombaki's channel, but the channel got sadly closed.

Even in festivals you have an artist whom the promoters push forward as a headline artist. I think Werrason's still counts because they call him to ensure the Stade is full. And just the fact that they kept re-inviting him is reason enough to claim them concerts to his credit.

Hmmm yeah

late King Kester Emenya deserve respect for having filled their national stadium twice on his name during the 1980s. There are people who say that when Emeneya being on his prime in the 80s, his impact in Brazzaville even bigger than the one in Kinshasa which why he kept paying tribute to them his whole career long
