i was actually about to post that concert lol blaise chose to go more into politics side of music,spends much more time in offices than at rehearsal and with the mess around his last album he kind of lost motivation only for the wenge 4X4 project to have revived it a bit
here he made his entrance with what should have been his first official generique with primus,which did not happen with primus and skol starting to drop from sponsorship because of ferre and fally refusing to play their game and have a remake of the initial rivalry of jb and werra around rival beers

That generique sounded great at the beginning. Too bad it never got released

It's crazy to think that our artist used to have an album ready every year but in the age of social media and streaming – it's an album every 3-4 yrs.

As for Bula, he should just stick to releasing music with session artists than a formal band. The system of music is no longer hospitable to the traditional orchestra

I watched a program on music streaming and I came to understand why some popular groups stopped producing new albums.  Take Spotify as example. Spotify pays about 0.004$/streaming (30 seconds and above). Of that, 30% goes to Spotify and the remaining 70% goes to digital music  distributors, right holders and finally the artist. Let's say a song had 1,000,000 streaming per given window,  this is equivalent pay of 4,000 US$ to be split between Spotify,  Digital Distributors, Right Holders and the Artist(s). Therefore,  performing live concerts with a band can be more attractive than producing new albums which is expensive. Actualy I came across few top artists who have pulled their songs from streaming platforms.

Exactly, now music as became like some sort or trailer some sort of publicity for more lucrative businesses and activities
