we all obviously have different tastes but I find Ferre's music uninspiring, here you have a very talented musician but I find his rumbas monotonic, devoid of any inspiration! And his sebenes, the less is said, the better.
For me, Ferre will always be a cup half empty...someone with 1-dimension artistry; unable to evolve or adapt his style to widen his appeal. In my view, he needs a producer who can guide him but then again he is a product or victim of "dear leader" worship of band leaders in Congolese music!
