This Parfum D'Hiver Interview will be interesting.

He sings so much like Lacoste he is a great singer tho
-
Ah wow so it’s confirmed. Who’s going to replace Makaba? I have a hard time believing someone can pick up where he left off
-
Makaba was by far the worst Maison Mere guitarist. I liked his ability to mimick others but creatively he didn't do anything. I'm absolutely delighted he is gone and I'm surprised that Werrason was loyal to him for that long. Tolbert in BCBG is going is taking music that side to another level so Werrason needs a soloist who is able to do the same foe Maison Mere. Thanks Makaba but no thanks.

Christian Kinzaki? Bill's soloist? I hope Bill doesn't go crazy and go to Werra to pick him back like he did eith Liyebo and like he tried to do with Luxembourg

Yes, he was great at executing but when he created tbh mmmm Musselu was of Japonais and I am sure that many of the great links in Ingeta were definitely stolen but tbh I was surprised he left he was the number three why did he left?

christian kinzaki is a rhythm guitarist,that is mayi ya nkamba,he had actually already left bill for about a year and was playing in studio as a session artist and on tv shows whose concept is battles between musicians of ferre fally heritier fabro and co so he'd play for the singers to make their impros

The list of Makaba's replacements is long:
1. Ong Back Solo- the recently recruited soloist who plays like Kapaya. He is already doing interviews.
2. Sarah Solo- It has now come out that one of the major reasons she left was that Makaba was uncomfortable with the way Werra promoted her and was constantly indirectly fighting her.
3. Polyster- He wants to come back
4. Japonnaise- He has no band after leaving Wata.
5. Mayi Yankamba- Rumour has it that he will audition soon.
Apart from this, Werrason has also come under pressure to restructure his team and get hold of the band. Both fans and donors are putting pressure on him to get back some former musicians like Satellite, Bobby......

This is the soloist recruited three months ago

i think mayi ya nkamba has pretty much joined kakol confirmed he came to apply which is already a big sign he might just have a symbolic test in front of the crowd

What’s the deal with the whole Morote album given all these team changes

Ong Back Solo!

Ong Back Solo doesn't convince me. Im surprised a lot of you aren't fans of Makaba. He's improved a lot since he first came. I like his aggressive and simple style, and the fact he doesn't try too hard to be like Kapaya. If you listen to the repetitions from the last couple years Makaba did a great job. Only maybe Sarah solo can come back but im not sure.
Freddy Movadi: Ong Back Solo Vs Makabe
Ong Back Solo: Starts at 15:44

Makaba solo: Starts at 20:20

It's not even close. Makaba is way better and Ong Back Solo should stay at rhythem. They need to find a better replacement.

Sarah is not creative on solo. Good for rhumbas. Ong still needs to work harder and improve on his notes.
I woulf love if his if Werrason got this guy in white. He has smooth and crisp solo.

Alfred Solo is available
-
yeah exactly i always said to myself the day a spot is available for solo in maison mere it would be either alfred or mayi ya nkamba but i think alfred will not accept leaving session work,the guy plays easily 20 albums every year in studio,be it "popular" music or gospel and gets paid as a session artist i doubt he'll accept going back to groups where weeks and months can be extremely different money wise

He is churning out licks like nothing

Good afternoon Archos? Any latest on Mayi ya Kamba? Looks like WMMM fans want him to join only if Bill is OK with the move as they don't want any polemique with former band members. While he left Bill a long time ago, they still feel the move needs Bill's blessings. I saw pictures of him doing video for Morote, are they true or edited?
I read somewhere that the return of Sarah Solo is a huge possibility if Mayi ya Kamba does not join. An hour ago, Alex Ntima who is very close to Werrason shared a video wishing her a happy birthday and calling her "Le Princess de Werrason"...something they were all avoiding a few weeks ago.
Then I also read somewhere that Kimbangu Solo would love to work with Werrason on Morote album though not permanently rejoining as he makes more money in Europe.
Alfred solo is so good! I would prefer him over Sarah and Mayi ya Kamba.

What do these guys left in London do? Look for a job in London? Most likely a menial job? Is that better than being in Werrason's band?
What is Cafe Roum & Makaba doing in London?
-
Yes working in some good hotel or being a driver for a good company in London can earn you more than being in any band in Congo. Some of these basic jobs actually pay more than most high paying jobs in Africa. I have a friend who is Director of a department in a big INGO, the wife who works for a hotel in London as a chef earns more than him. The downside is that it is also expensive out there but these guys rent places as a group and hence share accommodation, bills and food costs. However, it eats into time they need to invest in building their music careers. Hence Caferoum really needs to quickly get back after raising some money, otherwise he will mess up his career if he gets comfortable playing once in a while in clubs and parties.

I think Merveille Ya Mado formerly of Villa Nova is a dance instructor.
Any videos of the guys who have remained in Europe?

Do you still believe that working for Congolese groups is something that can get you money? Fame surely but money? They are better off doing menial jobs and get paid 8 to 15 euro per hour then to stay in whatever group and being paid 100 a month if they are lucky.
