Congolese Music / Re: Van Vedes- WMMM New Lead Solo!
« on: February 27, 2024, 18:23 »
Werrason actually needs a very good soloist, I'm not convinced by current team and seems he actually prefers Yamukolo more on solo and Vedes on mi solo.

Congolese Music / WERRASON AND HERITIER

Something tells me they are not in very good terms ever since Werrason publicly backed Ferre. Two weeks ago WMMM announced the suspension of Werrason's long serving security Chief Metre Ninja Sikatenda and looks like he has joined Wata's security team.

...Werrason is just not serious. With the wealth he has, he can easily buy a good place and turn it into New Lazamba...

Congolese Music / WASABO SHAKING THINGS UP!
« on: February 23, 2024, 12:59 »
Wasabo is giving Jamaique and Golbert a good run for their places. I think they needed this competition.

I know Werra has a lot of weaknesses, right know he has eased up and is not doing "illegal" poaching of musicians any more. Even for Djanely he had to make sure he verified that he left Ferre some time ago before auditioning.

Chai's brother is being emotional and probably wants to trend. The facts are:

1. Yamukolo has history with Werrason's team B before joining Chai and this is why he mastered the wenge style. He joined Chai,  left and later on auditioned to replace Makaba. Not sure whether we can say Chai poached him as well.

2. The song where Pulusi is mentioned a lot is for Werrason featuring Chai, only that he gave Chai huge psace to sing. The song is on Werrason's maxi single album Protege base. This was after Werrason also featured on one of Chai's songs. It is just two musicians exchanging features.

3. Chai pops up at Werrason's concerts any time he wants. He  actually appeared at Werrason's two recent idiofa concerts and was given chance to sing. He also got dollars from Pulusi during those concerts.

4. At Werrason's last Idiofa concert, Chai insisted that he is given chance to show Werrason and idiofa how good his dancers were. Werrason accepted and during the concert, Werrason public asked Chai for the dancers. A month after the concert, Chai personally took Balotelie to go and audition at Kimpwanza rehearsal. Werrason again public thanked Chai for the gesture and gave him full recognition for training Balotelie and Udjana. The two ladies left with Chai's permission and blessings.

Congolese Music / FINALLY UDJANA JOINS WMMM
« on: February 02, 2024, 08:55 »
One of the biggest mistakes Werrason made was to abandon that which made him great. He is good at performances and not slows. This means he needs a good team of dancers, both male and female. The female team is now sealed:
1. Udjana
2. Balotelie
3. Ketchy
4  Ketto
5. Solanje
6. Sarah
7. Linda
8. Tanya

He has upgraded Roi Sabo to first team and has settled for Yamukolo and Van Vedes on solo. Based on the information I got, Morote has 3 generiques: Two traditional generiques with one of them being a live recording and 1 folklore (the current one they are vibing to.

No, Udjana is Chay's best dancer. She is yet to join. This one is Balotelie, Chay's second best dancer.

Congolese Music / Tina Balotelie Joins WMMM
« on: January 19, 2024, 10:05 »
At a concert in Idiofa two of Chay Ngenge's dancers impressed Werrason. With Chay's blessings, one of the girls has officially joined WMMM after successfully auditioning. Werrason also wants the prime dancer, Udjana. He is trying to recreate the Zina, Bibycia and Kadogo energy. So far he has Balotelie and Keto!

Congolese Music / WMMM Reorganisation
« on: January 14, 2024, 09:31 »
Looks like Werrason lost elections again. I think he needs to focus on reorganising his band. He has over 20 good singers in the reserve, not sure why he sticks to 6 that look average. There is need for competition. He also needs another prove soloist. He needs some serious overhaul.

Congolese Music / Re: BRIGADE THREATENS TO TAKE WERRA TO COURT
« on: January 11, 2024, 15:56 »
It doesn't work like that. Sima ekoli is not a song, it is a call on werrason's song. That call was sung by Brigade working as Werrason's employee. Werrason has full rights to that call as he owns the song and paid for its production. It is just like Bill Gates, he is not the scientist who works on the innovations but an employee cannot sue him claiming to own the innovation even if he is the one who came up with it. If Brigade patented the call before he joined werrason, he sold it the moment he added the calls to Werrason's song. He then can only sue Werrason if he signed a contract restricting how the call is used. At this point, it is just ignorance at play.

This is interesting: By law, when an Atalaku works under a leader, my understanding is that it is the songs that are copyrighted and not calls or vocals and these are copyrighted under the leaders. Sima ekoli was a call under a generique produced by Werrason. The owner of the generique is Werrason and many people played on it starting from Lobeso, instrumentalists and other back end guys. In this case, will the instrumentalist also stop everyone from using their sima ekoli instrument sounds?

If I'm employed under Microsoft and the company produces an innovation I worked on as an employee, do I own it? It would be good to understand how copyright works  when it comes to music, otherwise we will have a whole chain of instrumentalists also claiming they played the sound. They will go ahead and stop all band leaders from playing songs they played a role in without acknowledging them or getting permission from them....sounds awkward!

Anyway, I stand to be corrected, Im not an expert in copyright law.

Young brother to one of Wenge MMM's respected advisors madam Claudine Kinwa. I'm sure you have heard of that name in songs.
