I love how MM fans try to push it hard with these kind of statements. You make it sound as if Goldberg and Jamaique have given us a single or album together already and have set a bar. I personally would take Bercy any day over those two

Do they really need a single or an album together? You can see them in concerts and from  the level of chemistry they have should give you an idea of how they'd sound in studio. Otherwise the only basis you'd pick Bercy & Ambulance over Jamaique/Goldberg is from the work they did in Maison Mere.

All the same Formidable is loading & even from the little studio clips, I can tell it's gonna be fire

Rehearsing 12 hours a day is one thing. Getting the crowd for the concert is another thing. African promoters are a real let down (with special mention for ours here in Kenya). Promoters don't want to spend money on hyping their shows & most are very lazy. They imagine that by circulating a few fliers on social media they have done enough to build up sufficient hype for concerts. It's very demotivating for artists to put in so much work & then perform in nearly empty halls

It's really cool to see Fabro mingling freely with Maison Mere team & the way they still appreciate him there. Top top stuff

Beside whole the negative comments, kindoki and conspiracy people have been throwing in FB and on YouTube for how bad it might seem it is just life doing what life does taking people away after their time has come, I wonder how Werra word solve all this sudden deaths in MM administration

How can Werra solve death?

in kinshasa there are rumours that should he go there longterm,nicodem will take the leader role because werra loves and trusts him to handle it

Yeah Kakol ain’t gonna let that happen...he sings aswel, better than Werra even...he will be the leader

Kakol sings but he doesn't sing better than Werra

Left to right

1.Cristiano Ozil, 2.Mushiga (not sure of the spelling), 3.Dinara, 4.Chinois,  5.****I don't know his name but he sings very well with a deep voice like Jitrois***, 6.Nicodem, 7.Djino Bass Standard (standing behind Dems), 7.Immeuble, 8.**I don't know the drummer's name**, 9.Bikorino Arc en ciel, 10.**I'm forgeting the guitarist's name, 11.Hugo Synthe, 12.Cafe Rhoum, 13.Bobby Ronaldinho, 14.Sattelite, 15.Wangila, 16.Djenny, 17.Arnold Basele

no its real,in the early days the buzz and polemique overshadowed album except bm which was released before,but i can guarantee you especially in kin half that album at least has become automatic on bars nightclubs and co playlists
its not a success like a storm obviously  like in early 2000"q but still  went pretty good in the long run its like some people discovered album months later and though wait a minute that album was actually good
so it maintained and even increased the demand he had for concerts

Fair enough.

I Still think Herritier does himself a lot of injustice by engaging in useless polemic with Werrason & Maison Mere. Fere & Fally caught all the important attention because their debut albums were quite good and fans only focused on that. From that point onward it was somewhat easier for them because they got an almost immediate acceptance & the fanbase was looking forward to their subsequent releases & concerts. There is a level of acceptance that once you gain is not easy to lose unless you completely slacken up like Tata Dominguez did.

Retirada could be good but in all honesty it lacked that big bang effect. It's more of a squandered opportunity. We didn't see any major concerts like Ferre's Bandal. All we remember with the retirada is the beef with Werrason.

When an album picks up 2 years after release, to me there's no difference to when I bumped into group Djolino's Impact or Manda Chante's Je suis in the sense that the window of opportunity is somewhat closed.

Watta should go ahead and release another album but this time give all his attention to promoting his music than beefing with others. Fabro's first release wasn't such a big hit but he still found a formula and his career has gained traction.

I noticed that people are now paying attention to Retirada, while in the first months, people were saying 'will not listen to him because he talks to much' or  listen to Sankara and the maison mere-camp who were doing everything to let the album fail and Maison Mere spokemen everytime saying 'album ya petit wana esimbi', etc.

Some people are against Heritier's decision of releasing his next album this year, while Retirada will soon become 2 years old. I see him already taking Ferre place over, like Koffi took Emeneya place over and started competiting against Wemba.

How do you ascertain the fact that people are now paying attention to retirada? Is there some source for this data or is it just personal opinion?
