if i was him i would wait a little bit to avoid fuelling something a lot people think....unless he plays outside which is not a great deal(funny by the way how different is playing in front and in the stadium)
maybe that's (another) reason of jb's speech then knowing musicians hate being left behind in concerts abroad(and thats pretty much the reason of the recent exodus of musicians of ferre's group)
Yeah i get you man but its not the first time he does that even when the very same ferre visited him before heading to quartier latin he insisted on ferre singing the part where he mentions werra in vita imana which ferre did not want to do at first or same when celeo visited and he insisted to celeo to do exactly the "po na biso na werrason 100 ans tomotombele" animation and to show respect to werra same for chikito who before leaving the first time visited bcbg minimum 5 times and he always told him to be loyal to ferre because he likes loyal musicians unfortunately with all that uncertainty over the state of their relationship between jb and werra every little thing can take huge importance,its like for example sankara and co starting to praise koffi again which could not please jb aswell as for the supporting members of other groups financially you are absolutely right,but then again its everywhere,for example seguin can get more money from nsone than most maison mere members,koffi used to be more generous to bcbg and maison mere guys and so on,i find it strange but if we count the amount of strange things in congolese music we might not sleep the anger of maison mere camp over him talking good of ferre and heritier is one of them many strange things of our music,people want you to have same enemies as them if you are their friend,i for one used to suffer from that at lot getting both jb and werra not picking my calls or not talking to me when they heard i went to the other's concert,sometimes even bullying me a bit via the bodyguards lets just imagine for one second what the clan could offer us if there was harmony between the 4 biggest jb werra heritier and ferre
and jb advises him to remain loyal to ferre like seguin is to him (not the best example to pick lol)and to not get carried away by success and always remember that if people love him its thanks to ferre (lol i can foresee reaction of some maison mere fans )
So fally and heritier actually spoke on a plane? That's a good sign, So jordan and co are a part of the combattants too then?
actually what happens is that some of the musicians based here are put under pressure to go to protests in order to be allowed to perform in bars and restaurants here, i remember bobby ronaldinho got beaten in one of these protests in order to please people and get right to perform in belgium and france bars and i wont be surprised at all if they are told to give a big part of the (quittle little) amount they make by performing
He says he has received the offer but he has not signed yet and his wish is that the other guys than jb and werra get big money since they are the ones who really need it,then he spent most of interview as usual criticizing behaviour of other musicians
he explains how they did so that he goes on stage at olympia and says since combattants saw they had lost like they were seeing it they brought an old car and burned it to cause panick and force authorities to cancel the concert,it was an act of desperation as they saw all they tried was ineffective so the second reason why they cancelled was that people went to hide in the stores near zenith and those stores also called for security as there was clearly panic around and he says he heard that they celebrated it but they must know its like an own goal because its their own brothers who they are doing that to because it would have done good to the musicians' families if they could perform,make a little tour (saw an interview of celeo saying that he made around 25000 dollars on mabanga money just on the day of bercy) him and naty discuss about the lack of unity and love of congolese people in general and naty says maybe if artists were really united for the cause they could end this problem and naty gives example of heritier and fally who meet on a same plane and had a chat together where they understood each other a lot better and heritier likens it to how mobutu and mzee kabila meet on a boat to discuss big things ( heritier tries not to be too open about it but naty who is pleased by that news insists to make it really clear that it was true) he also says that at jonathan's funeral he meet cappucino lbg for the first time in years and they greeted each other naty says those around musicians should learn to have better influence on them he gives example of people around fally who influenced him to be far from koffi and the same people did nothing when koffi went on stage with fally few months ago heritier says he find it strange that after that operation of making him fail to perform at olympia the combattants went to celebrate at concert of jordan kusa and co heritier says he does not wish that people block jordan and co aswell he wants everybody to perform he says people say music is at worst a waste of time and at best fun for some people but for them musicians its their job
Woow I didn't know they solved their differences that early because there were still fights between Maison Mere and BCBG. Didn't Werra dissed him in Témoignage ?
in all honesty i think werra still then hold some inner grudge,like i said in a previous post,never count on one of our musicians to forget 100 per cent something but then they were also playing the game basically it ended because jb got fed up of it after the fikin incident which had left the camp of werra doing polemic almost against a wall for one year or so then they stopped (which is interpreted in a polemic way as jb asking for ceasefire and admitting his defeat which yanki alluded to several times in his recent controversial lives)
they sorted it seriously in private in 2001 towards 2002 from then they were aware of each other's program and they were always discussing together about how should a wenge reunion happen they should earn wayyy more than the other ones mampata played a big role in them talking too each other relatively fast after the split thinking about i guess if they did not make the public reconciliation,they would have tried to counter more seriously the breakthrough of fally and ferre
Nono was born in 1978 in kinshasa but started music when sent to boarding school outside of kinshasa.In fact his real first contact with music will be at boarding school in moanda along with the likes of fally ipupa,marc iseboya and co in 1991 one year later he'll move to study in his region of bandundu for another two years then when he returns to kinshasa he starts singing at church and later in street groups of matete like the group rue de son where he will be singing first like his role model reddy amisi while trying to emulate stage "leadership" of jb mpiana in this group he'll become strong friend with jules aka eboa lotin and some other guys who did not have opportunity to make it a higher level in 1997 he'll make a step closer to professional music while he is about to start university as he is picked to sing along with then europe based felix wazekwa for his first concert in kinshasa but his parents will be against him become a full time musician threatening to kick him out of home so he'll restart his last high school year as he failed on purpose to show his choice was made and start university In 2000 guitarist and songwriter do akongo leaves quartier latin and decides to form a band and nono will be one of the guys picked along with his friend "eboa",ibrator and many other guys who later made it at higher level and will learn to play guitar and write a bit,he will for example be the guy who writes over half of singer soleil wanga's vocals in quartier latin with that particular style which they will have created from a mix of several singers in 2002 he will sing on a couple of songs of a project by do akongo over the political negotiations of the country for presidence and vice presidence roles and there he catchs eye of two of do akongo's song customers koffi olomide and werrason who will try to recruit him and he is even taken to a la zamba test but he has his heart set on another move in fact he wants to join the rivals of bcbg and sing alongside his second role model and he will be taken for tests by a friend who was a member of the bcbg fan club of matete,but he will be so impressed when he enters the rehearsal hall and sees jb that he'll feell uncomfortable and want to throw up and will be denied access to toilet by bodyguards who think he'll go there to curse people so that his test his succesful so he leaves and come back few minutes after and impresses jb so much that the other guys meant to be tested after him are not even tested but "unfortunately" for him his leader jb preferring to present his new musicians when he thinks they are starting to be polished his friend eboa will be presented earlier by the rivals of maison mere which will lead to a friendly beef between them about who copied each other's style while both knew they were working on it together way before joining big groups 5 years later he will reach the number of years jb liked to have with young new musicians before making them potential first team members and starting to make more and more appearances and will participate on album kipe ya yo and quel est ton probleme which boosts his popularity abroad and he is so requested by fans that he makes the list for bcbg's official return to europe after the 5 years of ban two years later he gets the opportunity to release his first song ever mombamba in album soyons serieux which gets a really good reception and in the meantime nono cements his position of a first team singer and he will get another approach from quartier latin which he declines politely and in 2013 he becomes a truely important member of the group as he is given responsability along with gentamicine to help new members settle and teach them the songs and he gets another opportunity to add a song in the yet to be released album balle de match at personal level he tries to convince his parents to stop selling food in streets and being a cleaner at one of kin's universities but they refuse so he offers his house he could buy with the money he got from tours to them in 2015 during a group reunion he'll be offered opportunity to release a solo album but he declines explaining that even though he has songs he needs to cement his reputation more with at very least two three songs interpreted by him becoming hits before even thinking about a project of several songs at the same time he will be victim of a guy who was meant to sell him a big land plot for around 30K dollars and who runned away with that money and will be offered support by his leader with 10k to pay to add to 5 of his own to pay the first part of a similar land plot and will be given opportunity to be probably the first guy of his generation to lead 4 songs on a group album,the song of seguin,his own,the songs of jeremie kitubu and patou solo in 2016 2017 he will become so important to the group that some members suggest him as a potential chef d'orchestre should jb strip seguin of that role and is offered possibility to go to europe and do some legal things to get europe papers easily but declines fearing it will cause jealousy in the group like in the case of his best friend abraham
He says he is grateful for having had the chance to learn next to a big leader like werra and things started well for him with that primus ad and he was living with kakol who took total care of him for the year he spent there but then as time went on he started seeing that his position was not evolving in the group he'd be in kinshasa for months but never been seen in la zamba rehearsals because there was little rotation and it made people think he was not there or was not working enough he also alluded to how he was meant to sing guy malela song le prince de la ville and it gone switched to heritier but what seems to have convinced him to leave is how despite paying good money to tv's to promote his songs on fleche ingeta the song was not shown on tv because of an order coming from some of the guys of maison mere which preferred that the group promotes the songs of nicodem ferrari and arnake at expense of the rest of the group and now he has gone back to brazza to start a solo career but he will soon be in kinshasa for something which he will reveal later on
yeah indeed,out ot topic i am surprised that 3 years after going solo wata still has not performed in ivory coast,maybe it means monsoh thinks he is not yet at the level of continental popularity he wants him to be to go for that challenge?
from the info i have got they started a bit of the conception at tokoos studio with djino liaki and keyboard player alex programming already 2 songs which includes a remix of one of the old songs
