Title: Van Vedes- WMMM New Lead Solo!
Post by: Nkosi on December 25, 2023, 06:22
Looks like Werrason has settled with Van Vedes as lead solo assisted by Yamukolo after trying so many soloists to replace Makaba. Ong Back Solo and Bunangana will play with the reserve band and also participate once in a while. I'm not sure what will happen to Mayi yalobo, he is not seen in concerts and rehearsals of late.

Van Vedes is impressive, he is like Alfred Solo and can be as good as Kimbangu.

He has a lot of potential. The tone of his guitar sounds very good

Werrason actually needs a very good soloist, I'm not convinced by current team and seems he actually prefers Yamukolo more on solo and Vedes on mi solo.

The quality of the sebene is very poor in rehearsals and I am 100% in agreement with you. The signature hard-hitting WMMM sebene is lost and replaced with a very uncoordinated sound. On another note,  I have watched many rehearsals and I have never seen Van Vedes play....@Nkosi, is it possble you upload a video of him playing prominenetly? Yamukolo has refused to grow on me....bang average IMO
