He plays the even the Wenge 4x4 partitions pretty well. If am not wrong, this is the 2nd test in WMM.  He was tested à few months back.

I agree with you. He is still not that refined on Solo.
Personally I prefer TT, Ya Mukolo, Rouge in that order.

The new instrumentalists are very good. Only that you are judging them based on previous albums. Follow their repetitions and you will see the talent. Personally, I think the vocal sections needs beefing up with the good guys in 2nd Team.

BaLocks guy was already in Team B and that test was just symbolic.  He's a good animateur, creative and great voice.

What is wrong with Werra being invited to play music in Chad?

Music is business and means money for his musicians. Let's us be honest and objective with ourselves.

Sarah stayed for many years and was given a lot of time in concerts but she wasn't that good. To me Ya Mukolo is better as he can literally play all Maison Mere songs and partitions.  I like how Werrason keeps correcting him and how he has adapted to play much better.

However the recently tested guy to me is on another level and matches Kapaya/Mboka Liya. His interpretation of sous soul was 'studio' perfect.

And Vedes Solo is the understudy on MISolo.

And he made them sing Koffi Ayiana. Both sung pretty well. Though Jamaika is known to be a vocalists, Wasabo surprised me more.

And both seem to like each and complement other.

He is keeping fit with less tummy.

Kibens could be helping in studio for morote.
