Sly, you can support him all day but my complaint is not that he does not know the theory of drums, its his lazyness that I hate.

Let's make things clear here, you've always said he's a bad drummer and your only case for saying so is the fact that he's often weak when hitting the snare drum, that is something I totally agree with you about but based on the technique the guy is a good drummer and you can't take away that from him,if only he could be more consistent in hitting the snare drum with power like he did on Celeo's generiques and on Quel Est ton Probleme then we wouldn't be discussing him today.

The day he will he replaced, you will believe me for once.

Believe you that what? I really don't know how to put it to you, remove hatred and you'll realise that he's been the head drummer of Wenge BCBG for 11 years or so and you have no basis on which to say the albums JB Mpiana has released in the last 10 years have drums sounding like they were played by an amateur.
I don't support Seguin and am not a fan of his, I know at least 10 drummers who are better than him but the fact I know is that he's not a bad drummer and he's not a perfect drummer.

I heard you loud, but respect the fact that I want him out of that sit. If he is inconsistent, then he is not the right one for jb.

I respect the fact that fact but remember JB Mpiana has been to Zambia a few times, you could have sought audience with him or at least booed at Seguin maybe JB would have gotten the message that Seguin plays like a little girl.

Tell you what, there are so many wrongs in BCBG and If I was JB's consultant even for a day I would give him a proper report of recommendations to turn around his band and make it the best in Congo, BCBG is not a business at all,i would reorganise it perfectly, JB Mpiana has the best people to work with but I don't think he knows that or he simply doesn't know what to do with the nearly 100 of staff he's got. he only needs maximum 30 people including dancers and admin staff around him in my opinion,he doesn't need to recruit anyone else at this moment, just reorganisation.

who is the soloist in the picture..

I see ficarre seated. Is that black guy the replacement for patou.?

who is the soloist in the picture..

Humm, I wonder who this guy is, it's not the the young Bidens so who is he, can't wait to hear how he plays, must be good to go straight to the top especially with JB being on stage.

...yes it is this guy for sure . notice Ekembe on rhythm!
my problem with BCBG is that they don't promote their recruits...you are just hit boom with some guys..like there is  a new atalaku recruited around June July 2014.

Indeed, I noticed Ekembe, it's good the new guys are being given chance but as you've rightly put it, the new recruits especially instrumentalists and atalukus are not really given chance to showcase their work, there's absolutely no marketing at BCBG and that's why I keep saying Roger Ngandu is just a waste of time, just a big title he's got as Director of Marketing just to make it even with Wenge Maison Mere's style but at Maison Mere the marketing is correct!!

Sly, it is not Roger ngandu, its JB Mpiana himself. Werrason does most of the marketing for new recruits on stage. Why cant fat boy do the same?

It's not just about the band leader presenting recruits on stage, Maison Mere have a dedicated marketing team and they do the right things. JB has never studied marketing or management and has no clue what to do apart from polemic as a means of attracting attention,it's the managers he's appointed, it's the same with boxers, they appoint wrong managers.

jb has true marketers around him but unfortunately its not those he knows and  trusts the most
 remember the case of alain bany who made enormous efforts to promote jb,especially by trying to show on website bercy concert live (but something messed up in the setup)
like we have always said,his personnality mixes badly with his job and it create those situations we criticize

Indeed,Alain Bany was doing his best but he's gone off radar now even the BCBG forum we used to post on just disappeared. I think we the fans need to come up with something, I would like a BCBG website showing a bit of information about band members and programmes like Alain did.
