Seeing Adolphe's haircut, this must be in the period when they were shooting clips for Intervention Rapide.

What made Werrason and members of Wenge Maison Mère in  the period just before  Intervention Rapide till the Europe-tour wear clothes of cleargy ? Got Werrason baptized by the catholic church ? got they supported by them ? or was it just a strategy to get attention ?

You could see Werrason wear it at the Megaconcert event 'Tokufa Pona Congo' in sept '98, Gigaconcert 'Hommage à Pépé Kallé' in dec. '98 and on the album-cover of Intervention Rapide. It's still a mystery to me that the cassettes of Gigaconcert and Megaconcert are not to find anywhere.
