He says good luck to heritier,he would not have stayed forever in maison mere anyway,all the best to him but now manda hopes he will learn to salute older musicians(alluding to heritier ignoring him at several occasions whenever they happened to be in the same place),he must pick a limited number of musicians which he will be able to take care of well(like himself did with limiting his group to 24 members for example) instead of living well,boasting about having money and his musicians praising him like he is a superhuman then at the end of the day get peanuts(allusion to the "system" in general)
now he is a leader he must also know that being a leader does not mind you have to see your musicians like puppets at your service,but rather as humans who contribute to your career
he should not start a conflict with werra because all these pointless conflicts we have in congolese music have brought it down
he also says at the end that so many musicians are going solo these years,but they are not even doing a proper solo career because they end up playing too much songs from their former groups,they should focus on release their albums because relying too much on songs of former groups is like doing the same thing than those group of unknown musicians who do interpretation of popular musicians at hotels for ceremonies or at private parties...and give his own example saying ever since he went solo he played only his songs and a bit of tabuley to honour him as he never was in his group

Manda complains too much. He has a nice voice but has not made use of it post Wenge Musica. Too strange he talks of music he has produced. i have never heard of any song from Manda since he went solo. Any songs by him archos so i can look it up?. But true about what he says about so many musicians going solo and producing garbage. think about people like deplick, robinho, brandon avatar, equalizer( the two of them),clizo schweppes, jpson, soleil wanga,LBG Cappucino, montana kamenga,even brigade and the list is endless. what have they produced worth mentioning? the only success stories are ferre and fally( and i know heriter is also gonna make it) i still dont count fabregas until he will give me a proper album not those five song albums he has produced so far!!!!

archos just finished sampling Selina and can say Manda can sing. Rare to find an artist sing so smoothly from start to end like he does in this song. and he's got a beautiful voice to match.

I like this one too, especially the use of lead chorus...

In a sense, I feel sorry for Manda Chante. His career has obviously been a joke and he has never had the success with the likes of JB Mpiana and Werrason even people like Blaise Bula, Adolphe dominguez and Marie Paul. So he is very bitter and unhappy.
