At first he was absent and Adolphe was taking the role as the leader.

No, he wasn't absent. Werrason was always the main-act so he had always to step in as last singer, like JB Mpiana was doing in Wenge BCBG before Blaise Bula's departure.

Back in 1998, 1999 & 2000. It was always that Wenge Musica Maison Mere was starting the concert, then Adolphe making his entrace and singing with them and on the end Werrason making his entrance and singing alone with Maison Mere or sometimes along with Adolphe. In the mid of the concert there would always be a part of Adolphe singing 1 or 2 songs by himself with Maison Mere and then the rest of the concert continuing with Werrason and them ending the concert with the generique which was then number 1 (Ndombolo ya Solo before releasing Intervention Rapide, Intervention Rapide and later Solola Bien). There were some concert where they were Maison Mere was starting directly with Adolphe.

No, that never happened. People would claim there money back lol. They did that only one time when they came to perform for Franco’s 10th anniversary at Madeleine in Brussels. Where many artists like Madilu, Sam Manguana were invited. Werrason couldn’t come since that he had to fix something in Paris for the release of Solola Bien.

Oh you mean an entrance together with Adolphe. Yeah that happened some times, but it was rare. Like Villejuif for example. Before Intervention Rapide they were doing it together with JDT and Ferre with sometimes Lacoste since that they came to perform in the image of Wenge 4x4 but that was on concerts who were abroad and in the provinces of DR Congo.

Sometimes I find their introductions funny just like Villejuif Adolphe telling them to go on the floor.
