Jdog I thought I was the only who loved this sebene but the Sukali part oh my, Picas with the rhythm was excellent
-
The variation was minimal, the sebene on the entire album was identical.
The most amazing thing on this song was actually Ferre's voice,he sang like a different man on his solo vocals from around Min 1:38 on, it took me a bit of time to realise it was Ferre singing there, that's just one mystery about Ferre.
-
yeah indeed,that ability ferre has to transform his voice is rare,once again in the case of what i said about bill,werra was making them work on that and its ferré who seems to have developed it the most(certainly because he had it in himself)
he would tell for example to baby jdt or mabiala take this cassettes a listen i want you to be able to replicate pepe kalle,kester,reddy or madilu,adjani,ferré,lacoste you must master wemba,jb, debaba...and ferré had that special ability of being able to imitate both type of voices
-
This just makes me think werrason is a true coach as he suggest I got one video of Maison Mere preparing Kibuisa Mpimpa in Werra's house how do I upload it meaning (DVD to PC)

Yes, Werra knew what he wanted and he modelled his musicians around the great singers of the past and present then combining them for his desired results that's why now that they have all gone solo, each has their own identity based on the musician they idolised.

I think it depends on your definition of coach so if you could first clarify on that otherwise like Luxembourg Solo rightly said in an last week's interview, there is no single musician who is taught music, in order for you to join Maison Mere, you first have to prove to the guards at the gate of La Zamba that you have some skills then you will audition on stage, the fans then approve and Werra endorses so every member of Wenge Maison Mére is good and what Werra then does is give them tasks based on what he desires from them according to his judgement not that he actually trains them. As a vieux with money he's their to give them the moral and financial support and i guess that is the coaching or mentoring you mean not that he trains them to do things,he asks them to get the best out of themselves.

SLY you are correct maybe I reply to fast with my comments what I mean with this coaching is that his ability to take his musicians to the next level which isn't dependant on him of course but that extra force he gives to musicians which I don't see as much today due to the wealth he has now but with the real Maison Mere I think he forced them to do extra and of course the musicians themselves wanted to get to that level so it was excellent complementary for both camps but now I just hate the face that La Zamba fans pick musicians I completely detest that philosophy because musicians maybe picked because the swagger they bring instead of art plus musicians being poor only wanting be a singer to get richer so things in the country needs to get better I hope you understand what I mean

Well said Newside, indeed, at the time Wenge Musica Maison Mére started, they were in a hurry to pick an excellent team to counter JB Mpiana & company and their offshoot Wenge BCBG so there was a lot at stake. It wasn't very long again when Werrason was now a solo artist now as Werrason & Wenge Maison Mére with multiple adversaries and with him not being an exceptional singer or instrumentalists he had to always have the best as his career depended on those around him and this is actually the reason why he's had so many people come and go in his band, he pushes them to do things for his and their own success but when it comes to financial and artistic freedom it's hard to get it. The group of Ferre and company especially didn't benefit much these new musicians Werra now has somehow benefit directly and indirectly because mabanga is now serious business so even if they get peanuts as wages or attendance allowance, the money from mabanga and well wishers of the band and their personal fans, the musicians evolve and eventually find their own feet and move on. It is not the same for other artists like JB Mpiana, Papa Wemba, Koffi and others who are all exceptional musicians, they have nothing to prove so they are relaxed, they don't need 100% input to succeed that's the goodwill they've built up and sometimes we see them to be lazy but no they are not. :)

Newside, I'll like to see the video.
