I think he can still perform in Europe without many of the current band members as he now has a huge number of former WMMM members who are in Europe and are in good terms with him: -Masela -Brigade -Bercy -Olivier (now in good terms) -Lobeso (Now in good terms) -Eboa -Kimbangu solo -Sarah Solo -Musikasika -Teka
With the euro concerts, it is not so much about visas, it was postponed way back they have not been advertising it or even rehearsing for it. The project died shortly after announcing it, they are focusing so much on getting Morote done, politics and concerts with politicians. Werra himself wants to stand in his home province, hence the recent visit.
I have seen some speculations on social media that Fally who is in good terms with the French authorities blocked Werrason and his band from going to France...the truth is he doesn't have that influence. He actually doesn't even see Werrason as a rival, two different generations. If Fally had such power, he would happily block Ferre and Wata who are more of direct rivals but he doesn't have as much power, he cannot pull it.
@Archos, you mean Yamukolo? Looks like they actually rate him highly. He is the one who plays the sophisticated solo parts. I actually find him more aggressive as well. I like the Kimbangu type.
I agree with you. Jama is not a creative animator, even Golbert does bettering terms of being creative. He will do well with his own band as a singer. He makes good money with Kisangani donors.
Werrason likes Wasabo so much such that unlike others who had to go through the reserve team, he came straight into the first team. He was openly praising him and his creativity three weeks ago. Wenge MMM fans also love him so much. He has not been given much space because they mostly do old animation which has been shared between Jamiaque and Golbert. However, he has been given space on Morote and we will see him taking a leading role next year, Jamique will most likely leave and focus on his band in Kisangani.
Shouldn't they be promoting Dynasty than producing more individual albums? In my view, better wait a bit until Dynasty settles after ots release especially that he promoted this album so much not long ago. Releasing almost the same time as Ferre might send a wrong signal and confirm speculation.
Yamukolo on solo! Bass was on the loud side though. I love the energy of the dancers! I would actually love to see Zina, Linda, Bibicya, Cuisee de Poulet and Kadogo energy back in the group!
Three guys who impressed during tests have continued practicing with the band. They are trying out rhythmic and bass instruments as well. The best so far is Yamukolo, but they will likely keep all the three and allow them to grow with he band.
Yamukolo played sebene so well during testing of dancers.
Some Ferre fans are not happy with Celeo's alleged statement that only Fally, Kofi and Papa Wemba have played in big venues in the United States of America. They are unhappy because Ferre just recently had a some performances in USA shortly before SDM concert and he just announced he will be having some concerts there soon. They see this an an irresponsible statement given the heightened competition between Ferre and Fally.
