Christian Mwepu would left the band in Canada after some concerts there. Being dissapointed to the way they were not rehearsing his songs. Because Werrason promised him that he would put 2 songs in Solola Bien as reward on the moment that Didier Masela leave. With Christian  feeling ill he prefered to stay in Canada to follow treatments. Masela wasn’t happy the way those musicians were disrespecting him during concerts, especially Christian. So he made a phonecallfrom London to  some guys in Montreal to threaten Christian. With Christian leaving, Werrason was forced to bring Masela back in the band.

I'm so glad Celeo Scram was able to preserve his position, I can't imagine who could take his place had Werrason's plan worked. Did Christian Mwepu play bass guitar on any of the songs that ended up being on Solola Bien? I remember he played most of the tracks for Intervention Rapid Force.

For being the co-founder of Wenge, it was quite surprising to see how quickly his absence was forgotten! Same with Alain Makaba, you'd think there would have been fan outrage considering how important they were to the band

No, Solola Bien was recorded in France when he already left with Didier Masela and Guy Nsangue doing the bass-work

So Didier Masela didn't play bass on any of the songs of Solola Bien, even his own?

He played bass with Guy Nsangue.
