The crowd at Vorst Nationaal, though visibly reverent toward Werrason's canonical repertoire, betrayed a restlessness that no amount of nostalgia could fully mask. The absence of new material, of unreleased choreography and unfamiliar animations on stage, has begun to weigh on the architecture of his live shows. A set built entirely on legacy hits, however immaculately performed, inevitably runs up against the law of diminishing returns.
The anticipation surrounding his long promised next album has by now become its own subplot, a running conversation among fans that the project itself has yet to resolve. What was once excitement has curdled slightly into fatigue.
For an artist of Werrason's calibre, renewal functions less as an option than as a structural necessity. Few performers can command a room purely through stage presence and vocal command the way he still does, but even that command has its ceiling. Repetition, however commanding, eventually asks the same question every set list must answer: how do you resurrect surprise inside a catalogue the audience already knows by heart.
What the Vorst Nationaal crowd offered him in return, an evidently boundless goodwill, only sharpens the point. Devotion of that depth is not infinite licence. It is, if anything, pressure of the best kind, a mandate to evolve. The wider soukous and rumba lingala scene has not stood still, and an industry now driven by rapid turnover and constant content demands artists who move with it rather than curate from behind.
Morote's exit from the band may prove to be exactly the disruption this moment calls for, the kind of personnel shift that forces a bandleader to rethink arrangement, animation and sound. This is not a verdict on Werrason's gifts or on his standing as leader of Wenge Musica Maison Mère, which remain beyond dispute. It is simply the case, made plainer with every repeat performance, that a discography of this stature deserves a genuinely new chapter, one that matches the scale of the talent behind it. Fans, for now, are watching closely to see whether Morote's absence becomes the turning point that finally reopens it.

Can someone narrate what what key messages are being said in that video?........want to know what Fally is saying to Kabuya and also at 19:30 he seems to complaining a lot.
On Friday 28 February 2020, I was booked on a flight from Birmingham to Paris via Air France, departing at 14:45. I had taken a day off and spent all morning preparing for the concert and making sure that everything was in place. At 11 am I called the taxi to take me to the train station where I was meeting with a friend for our train ride to Birmingham Airport. While on our way to the airport, I discovered that I had left me passport in a little travel bag so despite the meticulous preparation, I had done the most stupid thing. Even my friend was amazed that I had such a school boy error but there was no time to cry over it……..I proceeded to the airport and rang my madam, who agreed to leave work, go home, get the passport and bring it to me. Friday was a dreadful day in UK because of storm Jorge. Trains were delayed because of signals and traffic was very bad so I knew that I would miss the flight.
At the airport, I went to the desk, told my story and was advised to ring the airline and arrange a change of plans. I did that and had to pay a fee to change the ticket and was put on the next flight. My missus had gone back home, found the passport and drove to Sandwell and Dudley train station to catch a train to Birmingham International Airport and deliver my passport. Meanwhile, I went into a bar and drowned my sorrows with a few pints of lager while I waited for her to arrive. After, getting the passport, I went to check in and proceeded through airport security and while airside, I went again for another pint as I was an hour early. The flight was called in and proceeded to the gates to board the flight to Paris. On board, there were a few people wearing masks and I though they looked like proper idiots. However, when I got to Paris, I found out that there were many more people wearing masks there than I had seen in UK so fair play to them.
When I got to Paris, I disembarked on terminal 2 and took a train line B to Paris. A friend of mine who had travelled from London rang me to warm me that there were riots and to avoid going through Paris Gare de Lyon because of a fire (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-51682230). Anyway, I had no intention to go to that train station because my hotel was at Bercy Village, so I was going to take Metro line 14 from Chatelet and get off at Cour Saint-Emilion. The journey proceeded without incident and when I got to Cour Saint-Emilion, I saw a few black people asking for directions to Bercy and a few of them speaking in Lingala. I went to my hotel, took a shower, got dressed and off I went to Accors Arena where the concert was. The walking distance was about 900m from Pullman Hotel and while walking there, I noticed a huge police presence and as I approached the venue, there was a group of Congolese people, mostly men singing a version of JB’s Souverain azali champion and there were burnt cars, motorbikes and debris everywhere. My initial thought was that you wouldn’t do that kind of thing in UK and still maintain your status……NEVER.
As I approached the venue to meet up with my colleagues, there was a ring of steel around the venue with police holding guns and dogs. To go through you had to show the ticket or else not allowed. A lot of people had no tickets and were asking if I had spares and of course I did not have any. Tickets were checked at the gates and we had to walk a distance towards the venue. We arrived at the venue just in time for Fally starting and that was about 8:40pm. The place was packed to the brim and everyone was good natured and clearly enjoying their time there. I would estimate that the number of 20,000 is accurate. The crowd was into it and were singing back and taking part. The sound was amazing, and we could hear everything however, we were on the floor and not in the stands so we could not get to the front, so we had to use the screen to see properly. To be fair I am not a huge fan of Fally and do not really know his songs, but he played the heavily marketed Eloko and Ecole which was abruptly cut short because of time.
The concert finished off with a mind blowing sebene called telephone or something like that. When this sebene started, the whole place erupted into dance, but some people started leaving and that was about 11:30pm. So, in all, Fally played for about 2hrs or so but that seemed like 20 minutes to me, however, everyone seemed to have been satisfied and there were no incidents from people leaving the venue. I met up with other Zimbabweans outside the venue and we had photos taken with our flag and afterwards left to VRP night club in Champs Elysees to continue with our fun. The price to get into the night club was 30 Euros which I thought was absolutely bonkers. We organised ourselves instead and booked a table for 3 and paid 180 Euros for the table and a bottle of JD. We left the club at 7 am but the music was just whack………they were playing Loi and all the old songs from Ivory Coast and old RnB music. I didn’t enjoy it that much but had to force myself to get into it or spend the whole night sulking.
Anyway, my verdict for the concert is that it was a huge success and people supported him despite the detractors and haters trying to ruin it. However, for me on a personal level, it was a partial fail because I travelled that far but didn’t get to see much cause he didn’t play for long. I took some photos of the concert and videos but will not post because they are quite personal, however, there are videos all over the internet for this concert which I am sure many of you have viewed already.
Zimbabwe's most successful and internationally renowned musician Oliver Mtukudzi died on Wednesday after suffering from diabetes, ending a career that spanned four decades and 67 albums.
Just found out today that my copy is missing from the CD case & I was looking forward to playing this all weekend. Amazon are sold out and I cannot think of anywhere I can get a copy.
Has anyone got a copy they can rip to mp3 & DM to me please?
Ok guys. I've been learning the bass guitar for the past 8 months and can now play one sebene in the key of G. I now think that I'm good to learn more but the difficulty I face is that there aren't many tutorials on YouTube and worse still none in English. Some of you play or know some genius bass players out there that you can record showing how to play the most common sebene progressions.
So this is just a long shot to ask if anyone of you could be so kind as to record a video or videos to upload on Youtube so that we can learn how to play this great music. If not I'd be grateful if you could point me in the direction to where I can receive help please.
So far, these are some of the videos ive used. The first and second are excellent for showing the keys and how to play....... the last video is mind blowing and that's what I'm aspiring for.
If not why is he copying their style? Someone......Archos, JDog, Newside...... educate me please.........I loved Nouvelle Image Jazz especially around 1996 when Doudou was the animateur and I have the album they made thereafter. I've got a few VHS videos and believe me, I have been looking for the past 3 months but do not have any that features Fally. If its the case that he is pillaging this once great band, then he is a fucking cheat...........but I am willing to forgive him for reviving this beat
