Yeah, the old team was a marvel to watch, right now he's got too many musicians and not using them effectively.

You right DJ Sly if you have too many musician in the group it is a challenge to show what talents you have got this seems to be a problem to most groups in Africa .

On average to have 12 - 15 ppl in the bands makes good even on the creativity side on my opinion but i see some bands with up to 50 musicians  this is a challenge a lot of ideas can be left as those preferred my the leaders can be heard .

Yes, that's why you find that these days, solo vocals by singers in the band are for a minute or less, the rest the band leader has to sing himself in order to show that he's leading unless it's a group album where every musician has to pen a song but then there are some musicians who are always sidelined because there are too many musicians in a band, they've never been given the opportunity to do a complete song so talent is going to waste.

Yes that's the problem with Maiosn Mere too many singers and some end up being sidelined and vocals by the singers of the boss have always been a minute or less solo or group album.
