So Mpiana was not among the founders, how he became president?

they had decided the roles after a reunion,and the fact former president mavo who was not a musician lost his head
then they picked jb president,werra financial director(and the second president behind the scenes),only makaba's role was natural as artistic director
you'll notice that it's the president and financial director who had the biggest conflict when they grew up and really understood what it meant
then there was tata as vice president and blaise as chef d orchestre but they did not have a massive role except of their singing duties

That was a problem, having a president and a defacto president.

I wonder if Didier Masela, Adolphe Dominguez and Werrason were close friends?

 yes all of them,including the simple employees(most of them) they became like family;but of  course once on stage or rehearsal the relationship was professional
