Apparently WMM rate Chikito highly. WMM have tracked this boy for a long time. There is so much excitement about his imminent arrival. After the grand performance at Fikin a few days ago, Werra openly said......."at last I feel I have a team ready to remake and make history." The goodness with these boys he has is that the have energy and the age to do their own staff. He is raising musicians and not band members. Just look at this line up:
Ataluku department: Bercy, Lobeso, Prince, Ambulance, Diego, Deodorant
Instrumentalists: Kakol, Hugo Synthe, Ali Mbonda, Coreen, Makaba, Mayi Ndombe, Mongratana, Dadi Bola....
Singers: Herritier, Eboa, Cafe Roum, Miel, Olivier, Tadet, Arnake, Nic-Love, Chikito, Merlin Bouton, Gimerose, Ferrari, Michka, Adjani
Herritier and one or two old guys will surely move on soon but the new crop is up to the task. Chikito will replace Wata and most likely do his parts in songs moving forward so his presence on stage will be felt all the time. Cafe Roum and Merlin Bouton are still valued but they have taken the root of Adjani and Eboa who rarely dance but are ever in the background waiting for vocal parts. Its now very clear to the whole band Olivier who is not only close to most of the guys but also to the top brass like Kakol, Sankara, Werra will step into Herritier role as lead vocalist in the absence of Wata (the others under consideration were Miel and Tadet but they lack uniting traits.
