sorry man for being late,there we go...
album was recorded from march 2005 to november,and released in december,three days before christmas and werra's birthday,recorded in studio davout one of the most mythic studios of pars
the original conception was 14 songs,the two songs taken out was used in alerte generale with modifications
the song demi tour was originally werra/ferré and they were already singing it sometimes(werra also on guitar) during a la queue leu leu sessions
the title werra plannned was temoignage des miracles but temoignages des in small character and miracles in big,but when les marquis took miracles it forced werra to take temoignage and transform it as the main title
on lead most of the album was played by kapaya,except wabelo played by mogratana,conscience bela composed b mogratana but played by sec bidens as werra wanted this rumba to be for mature people like ok jazz,bana ok rumbas
rhythm was yves ndjock on na touché,coréen on the rest,bass was shared by mlichel and mimiche,kakol on drums ali mbonda,keyboards by theo bidens
kapaya co-did mix,mastering,arrangements with sec bidens and yves ndjock

the album did not pass or reach Kibuisa Mpimpa's level in songs, arrangements, etc. I had expected more of this album, because the noise they were doing on tv. Nobody is doing to made an effort since 2002 to make a good album. The only album that convinced me was Droit Chemin of Fally Ipupa, the rest was garbage.

I totally agree with you man. And I don't really like Droit Chemin.

It was supposed that the album Temoinage would be produced by the Secteur-A (a big music-label in France at that time), after a meeting with Passi during a recording-session with M'passi & Benji for the compilation album "Dis leur 2 Afro-Zouk". But the project was cancelled after the bankruptcy of the label. So Werrason decided to work then with Somina

DISCLAIMER: Please this article is not for criticizing or elevating current facts of Werrason's behaviour or any related issues just musically artistic review. NO HARD FEELINGS :)
Background:
Let's take it back 3 years ago prior album release (2002) were Werrason in my opinion was the simply the best artist in Congolese music with a marvel dream team named Wenge Musica Maison Mere full of upcoming stars, Prior releases such as A La Queue Leu Leu and the ground-breaking classic Kibuisa Mpimpa bolstered Werrason's stardom artistically and commercially but just when things were going very right not perfect a massive sucker punch arrived with big team members of the marvel Maison Mere leaving quite notably the rising stars Ferre Gola, Baby Ndombe, Bill Clinton and JDT Mulopwe and obviously forgetting the subtle Mimiche Bass, versatile Japonais and superb vocalist Serge Mabiala. The core of Maison Mere's artists were gone (luckily Celeo and Flamme Kapaya stayed). At that moment liability grew as most influential members left and obviously the release of (original title) Miracle gone to oblivion after constant calls in concerts and events.
Once I watched Les Marquis des Maison Mere's LSC and heard the modern classic Miracle I thought it's over for Werrason seriously I thought to myself his career was finished because these boys of Les Marquis had too much promise and potentially that will overshadow Werrason's future efforts but guess what it was time for massive change in Maison Mere the young promise Heritier Watanabe to take over Ferre Gola's shoes, Celeo Scram to become the main animator even though his prior efforts were very excellent, Flamme Kapaya to continue being the artistic master in Maison Mere same with Kakol to continue drumming. Young singers were also good Jitrois who I respect alot artistically (excellent singer), Bonbon Kojack, Teka Diobanza, Cappucino and Taddet. No homo but I love Eboa-Lotin as a singer. Not forgetting the experience of Ali Mbonda, Aimelia Lias, Kabose and Lacoste. OK enough with the talking but Alerte Generale the best maxi-single of all time was released and this really impressed and put Werrason back on the map after sheer doubt that he wont make it after the depature of Les Marquis. Roi David, Celeo and Flamme impressing massively.
Now the awaited Miracle has to be released... To be continued

To me the story of the album Temoignage is that after the mass departures of key Maison Mere members many people thought that Werra and Maison Mere were going to be silenced by Les Marquis hence Celeo's animation "ba kanisi toko sila" which means they taught we would be finished. And when Werra released Alerte Generale it showed people that he can hold his own without those key members and he. An even bring in some new guys to fill their shoes. And when Temoignage came out it was a miracle (original title before Les Marquis used it) that can make a full album with mostly new guys and and he was a testimony to people that he (Werra) was not finished and he was here to stay. And it was true because Teimonagnage won him a couple of Kora's. And the new guys he used in Aletre had good vocals but they were better dancers ex. Cap LBG, Teka, Bonbon.
