People always tend to say that Guy-Guy Fall is of the school from Werrason. But when I listening to his voice, it's sound more to that of Reddy Amisi, also those like Congolese people say "ba nuances". The only part that they had in common in the beginning was how the way Werrason used to do mabanga's when he was part of Wenge 4x4 from 1991 to 1996.

If you listen to the singer Alpatchino, who was seen as someone of Reddy's school, you'll see that Guy-Guy Fall is indeed closer to that section instead of that of Werrason. Btw when Guy-Guy Fall joined Viva Tendance, he had no difficulties of doing Alpatchino's vocals in concerts and it almost sounded similar like Alpatchino himself singing

Guy Guy Fall would have been an excellent replacement for Werrason in BCBG especially at Bataclan of 1998, it's too bad Blaise Bula didn't like him. I wonder why?
The students of Reddy were always Zulema, Guy Guy, Waney Pecho, and Doudou Copa. I wonder who were the influences of Alain Mpela and Aimelia? I'm guessing they would probably say Nyboma or Wemba.

Alain Mpela often said in interviews that he was a huge fan of King Kester Emeneya. But I don't remember which interview it was, him saying that he used to admire Luciana Demingongo. A few years ago, Luciana Demingongo made an interview, where he said that he sometimes talks with Bouro Mpela and Alain Mpela to give tips sometimes, when being asked about the featering he made with Bouro and that both guys said that he's one of their rolmodels. Also adding that he likes Rio alot and he JB used him in a wrong way. When you listen to Rio, Babel and Alain Mpela you feel that they are of Luciana's school, although never barely talking about him. Babel was even used for those Viva la Musica-concerts in Kinshasa (1993-1995) to do Luciana's voice since that he sings like a woman

What did he mean that Rio was used in "the wrong way"? Did Rio used to have a different style of singing prior to Wenge BCBG?
I know he used to be with Madilu prior to joining BCBG. I believe the PPU system likely affected how he would sing and stick that way ever since.
Is there any other artist that used to sing differently at the beginning of their career and changed later on?

There is a vocal on Papito Mbala 2 by Rio which is insanely good

Plus he did the Chorus on J'Suis Là, and you can hear that he can harmonize really well when he wants to

BCBG didn’t affect his way of singing, he was still singing the same way like he used to do. Luciana was talking about the way JB uses him (I think the chorus). Luciana lives in Paris, so maybe if got the chance to meet him, you ask him. He’s a cool guy
About singing a different way in the beginning on their career. The only artists I know are Emeneya, who used to sing like Gina Efonge when joining Viva la Musica, Papa Wemba before changing his way of singing in 1973 to sing like Evoloko, Sam Tshintu of Magie to Sam of Ultimatum, Deo Brando of Anti Choc who used to sing high to Deo Brando of Zaïko/QL that started to sing 2eme voix
