Man just got rejected for the third time or something french visas,and told that he should speak with artist x or that opinion of artist x could weight a lot in his case
 i also believe the way werrasoniques went to create noise at embassy did not help,cultura for example has never ever gotten french visas since eclipse and co caused havoc at embassy over zenith
he should have done like young guys beckham or chouchou miyake,via greece
he had to perform today in france

I don't understand, how could he put a good word over Lobeso nut at the same time having his visa denied by the same country? Plus couldn't he speak to the French embassy in Congo and struck a deal? Does Werra have long term french papers? Is anyone in the group having French papers? Tbh is gonna be harder and harder to get visas for African based African artists in France, racism there is rising and even Benzema who represented France multiple times had guys like Zemur and co. Ask to remove his French citizenship over some comments about Palestine, so they won't think twice about denying an African artist which is sad.

long story short about it,the favorites change over the years with the embassies,the sponsors,and all the rest,who was powerful 5 years ago might not be now and vice versa
yes werra has french resident card kakol also could have but always rejected because of possibility of having to be away from the group for months

I think he can still perform in Europe without many of the current band members as he now has a huge number of former WMMM members who are in Europe and are in good terms with him:
-Masela
-Brigade
-Bercy
-Olivier (now in good terms)
-Lobeso (Now in good terms)
-Eboa
-Kimbangu solo
-Sarah Solo
-Musikasika
-Teka

With the euro concerts, it is not so much about visas, it was postponed way back they have not been advertising it or even rehearsing for it. The project died shortly after announcing it, they are focusing so much on getting Morote done, politics and concerts with politicians. Werra himself wants to stand in his home province, hence the recent visit.

I have seen some speculations on social media that Fally who is in good terms with the French authorities blocked Werrason and his band from going to France...the truth is he doesn't have that influence. He actually doesn't even see Werrason as a rival, two different generations. If Fally had such power, he would happily block Ferre and Wata who are more of direct rivals but he doesn't have as much power, he cannot pull it.

Wow that's interesting, so Werra has to speak to other artists in order to get visas? If so that's ridiculous because artists don't work in embassies.
Or moto asala le monde eza yo Nzambe tata, Kita okata po mokili trop matata, kata- Fally Ipupa

for whatever reason,that system has existed in our music pretty much forever,there is always some artists who have a certain influence with embassies and with authorities in general aswell
another simple example,in the fatshi regime werra is light years behind how powerful he was under the kabila regime
so he very rarely gets associated with most events organized by presidence or authorities while few years back it was even rumoured that he was the only artist who was sitting face to face with kabila like friends
take those examples and switch names of any artists,there is always things like that happening

Why instead of doing these dumb power games artist don't collaborate so every Congolese artist can go? One of the reason why Nigerians dominate African music right now is that when Burna got his chance to go to America he never once tried to stop Wizkid, David and all the Nigieran guys who was doing music in Nigeeia and now even a photo like Victor Thompson is maijg feats with Gunna while in Congo we still have art8st who snitch on their fellow artist to feel superior
