In the first minutes he talks a lot about maison mere saying is very grateful to werrason but insisting that he was a wenge musica 4X4 member and he was the youngest(which aint true lol as seguin and zamuangana were younger) and that when split happened it did not start as jb and werra being sole leaders but rather as jb blaise makaba plus their young chiefs aimelia tutu alain mpela and werra masela adolphe plus christian mabanga him ferre and japonais and reminds that for example in one of maison mere's first concerts in matadi guys like him japonais and christian even had an eye on the contract but quickly it became jb vs werra and they became like "children" of their two leaders and he says papy should not expecting him talking bad about werra and says that he left because he felt he had given enough as an employee and he needed to face something bigger like how children leave their houses to become parents
he refused to talk about doing clip with koffi and was asked if he had to pick 5 singers to go compete abroad with other countries he said reddy amisi,chai ngenge,fally, heritier and fabregas and at some point papy asks him to sing some parts of those singers which he likes a lot and he does sing with also a bit of pepe kalle
and when asked about four groups you could count on to make explosive shows abroad outside of his one,he named maison mere,bcbg,zaiko and cultura

I did the tchip thing when Ferre said Reddy Amisi and Chai, because there is people in his group who sing and dance better then Reddy and Chai. Ferre sang like Pepe Kalle at times in Sens Interdit. Ferre knows how the lack of European concerts (the usual countries with concerts) affected the industry but has he done anything to fix it. I wouldn't pay to see Zaiko or Cultura. Bcbg no because I don't know their songs like that.

Maybe Ferre considered himself to be the youngest in Wenge Musica BCBG 4X4 because he was truly part of the team unlike Seguin who was probably just hanging out with Wenge with no role to play in the background or on stage apart from maybe making sure drums are stable When Titina was playing since drums move about when they are being hit. Lol Even in JB's BCBG, Seguin only had a minor role at the start as a mbonda player and understudy of Titina.
Fiston Zamuangana seems to be older than Ferre just by looks so Ferre maybe right,he was the youngest active member of Wenge at the time.

yes, Ferre was the co-founder of Wenge Maison Mere. But nobody knew him, only people who where following Wenge 4x4 closely or could remember him a little from the Maman Ngebi-show where he replaced Tutu Calugi. The national-tour of Maison Mere in Congo with Tshala Muana is a big proof. Because the public knew Didier Masela, Adoplhe Dominguez and Werrason.
Ferre Gola's role was big on the background where he was directing all singers.
Ferre success started when Wenge Maison Mere released the Intervention Rapide-album with the polemic of Maison Mere-fans saying that JB stole his vocals and BCBG saying that Ferre stole the vocals from JB and rumors starting that his vocal in Chantal Switserland was a revenge-vocal about how Blaise Bula's staff sent him away from Blaise Bula's house where BCBG was rehearsing.(Ferre wanted then to join BCBG, since that nobody really trusted in Wenge Maison Mere). With stories coming out that JB was not liking him giving him illness so that could not perform and that Aimelia & Alain Mpela were jealous of him.

jb and ferre it was actually more of mind games than hate,jb liked ferre and ferre liked jb but ferre arrived when wenge were starting to split so he was seen as werra's musician,seguin also had to stop rehearsing in private with nsone to get jb's favour back and same for nsone who was not anymore as close to mpela and aimelia as in the past
actually jb was upset at dieu makila for not allowing ferre the singer but on the other hand him blaise and co feared ferre was sent as a spy as he was too close to nsone
the disease thing is nothing more than "plan d'attaque" in other words something created to fuel rivalry,which was used in cases of split to attack the rival camp or sometimes within the group
for example a rivalry was created between ferre and heritier so that people pay more attention to heritier
no sly titina was quite cool as could show the martyrs shows posted recently,seguin even made if i recall well the chad tour prior to the one in kenya on his own

Please, who is this in Ferre's group who can sing better than Reddy?
