Werrason released in June 2001 his first solo album Kibuisa Mpimpa after announcing it already back in 1997 before Wenge 4x4's split. It was the most awaited album of 2001 and it was a huge succes when it came out. However there wasn't a VHS of clips released on market. There was just a videoclip of Operation Dragon which was aired on the television channels of Kinshasa & Brazzaville and MCM which was a french-television for the African diaspora. A few months later just after that Werrason won 2 trophees at Kora Awards, they finally started recording the clips. They recorded the clips with ultra-modern equipement. 6 clips along with Operation Dragon got released on VHS somewhere in december 2001/january 2002 as volume 1.




However, volume 2 never came. Only Kibuisa Mpimpa got recorded as clip, being released on a dvd produced by JPS Production called "Kinshasa Hits volume 2" along with clips of Abeba Lipordo, Fondation Empire and some tracks of Extra Musica's trop c'est trop that hadn't a clip (12 Balles, Guivano and Probleme sur Probleme).




Was it that Werrason a to busy with preparing Double Zenith in Kinshasa ? which he prepared for 2 months, him even cancelling at some point concerts in Kinshasa for a month to prepare the show at Zamba Playa. Or was it that Jean Pierre Saah wasn't motivated to put his money in volume 2 after already gaining alot of money from the album sales and volume 1 of the clips ? Or that Maison Mere being busy with touring in Europe after Double Zenith and preparing A La Que Leu Leu ?

O.o Obiang has a clip? Anyway Werra has this tendency to do videos and not released them I saw he was preparing the Eboka video the song he made with Renee (the leader of Mabele Elisi group after he died despite Mabele Elisi family saying he isn't the leader cause he refused to pay 150 dollars for the school Fees of Mabele Elisi's son, despite Mabele Elisi clearly saying to him that he would be the leader one day, the family recognize Bonga I guess his name is as a leader)  despite him giving a tessere 5 years later that video never cane out.
