 He says before being in bcbg, he was in street groups then with duc herode and was often going to brazza and by the way he is the creator of the dance later known as koyimbiko, in fact there was a competition in brazza to pick a best dancer from brazza who'd win some prize surely, and there was regis and toms who were dancing along with him on  super helico of extra musica international and  viagra( i think he meant sanction) of academia and he went freestyle with that dance,which regis and toms took to maison mere(and he took aswell later in bcbg)
then when wenge tonya tonya was born he was taken to adolphe's house but adolphe took too long to come back and he missed him  then later on he was introduced to wazekwa to join cultura pays vie  and wazekwa liked him but said before he did a proper test he needed to learn cultura songs so he was given a disk of cultura songs to rehearse and he never came back as shortly after he got introduced to rio de janeiro to be taken to bcbg but rio was telling him there was already a lot of tenorists,bikou,eric cantona(who did not make breakthrough),chikito,dolin,bompema,chai ngenge,didi kalombo... so it would be hard for him to get a chance(but he was giving songs and vocals behind the scenes since he is a bit of a songwriter aswell)
and he got taken to maison mere and  at werra's house and werra and the guys like him,he saw there the whole big team,and heritier who joined from bcbg,kabose who just joined,cele kibinda,and werra asked just like with heritier since he was  not even 18 back then to take him to his parents  to get authorization but since his parents were dead already long ago they went to his aunt( who also died shortly after)who was looking after him and the aunt refused saying musicians do witchcraft and things like that
so he could not join maison mere, and he was introduced to genta lisimo just before bcbg's bercy and genta advised him to rehearse songs so that he takes him to tests when they return,and in the meantime he went back to duc herode to keep working and when bcbg returned he went to tests but misunderstood genta's adress and went to jb's house instead of rehearsal venue and bodyguard lourd muamba beat him but then when he could go to bcbg's rehearsals late maitre baja who knew him from duc herode's group allowed him in,but he was not doing test yet,he was giving dances like the bcbg version of koyimbiko and some others and one day jb figured out he could also sing well and told him to stop going to the dancers section and come to singers rehearsals
and about the fact bcbg fans started campaign to get rid of the zenith generation he says the idea was not bad at all but maybe its the way it was done that made it  go bad all they wanted was to get their chance without necessarily forcing out kibens and co
and he is asked about his suspension of 11 months and whether it was due to him having dated a jb sidekick like it was spread and he says it was even that,the woman they were talking about is the mother of his children and apparently the ex of somebody around jb but the real issue was due to a little bust up between him and fudji which lead to  some his fans going to destroy fudji's house without his authorisation ( something similar then happened between fudji and fabro with fans of each other injureing each other with bottles of whisky and so on) but it was reported to jb like he sent them and also they added some spice to it since they were jealous of how jb was saying in several concerts about him "this guy has relieved me of the pain of losing alain mpela) and it was fally who helped solving the issue,he asked fally to put him on list for zenith as a ngulu he was willing to pay fally 5000 euros but fally told him bro your place is here in kin you have talent and things to do here i will talk with jb and the day after his suspension was lifted
he is asked about his album and the fact he allegedly did the work outside bcbg while giving permission in bcbg and he says contrarily to what people think over half of album is done by bcbg there are even two generiques one by genta on his own one with fusee and genta but he needed also to add his own touch so that it does not sound like a typical bcbg album which is why he called the likes of michel bass, beniko,ramazani and co
 he is asked about the karaoke with josky and metro which was reported to jb like him taking  bcbg musicians to do a concert on his own and somebody called seguin  who informed jb and another bcbg fan who was there called seguin to tell him it was not what they thought
and the guys were suspended except but he got inside info(from genta who was against it) that a plan was being prepared against him since they suspected him of already forming a band secretly within the group)
he is also asked about his visit to a bcbg concert recently but how he did not sing on stage ,and he says he did not go there to sing but to see jb and they talked and thats what matters to him and they have meet several times and took pictures together and so on
so he wants to move on from the little clashes which happened and focus on his career
about chai ngenge saying that jb did not help them get european papers,abraham replied that its not papers who do music,there are plenty of guys who have european papers who are nowhere near the guys who perform in kinshasa and says for his own example that he had been married since 2009 to a european citizen so he ended up getting papers easily

Thanks ndeko for for summarizing the video, but I have questions. How old is Mignon Abraham ? Does he have a producer for his album or does he self-produce ? Or he is in the Obouo label because I had seen that its David Monsoh who produced the Remontada single...

And by the way, back in 2011 at the time of Soyons sérieux, I saw Abraham like the future Fally along with Heritier because they were young and they had this "fashion style"...

abraham is 34 he was born on new year of 1985,he has a producer which is not monsoh,monsoh just produced the single
yeah he looked promising,but for me he is using the wrong strategy he will have released soon 10 songs one by one in the three years he went solo and none one of them got proper promotion and expected feedback, he seems too hesitant for when to drop the album while its finished for a while

I think that Abraham need a strong team with. In reflecting well, all our artists need a big team (producer, manager, press officer, public relations...) and Fally was not wrong when he said that our artists lack good advisers

yeah except that he said it to diss ferre and wata as to say if they were better advised they'd talk nice about him lol but yeah indead any artist is better with a professional staff around,and i gotta give fally credit to have managed to handle both his congolese and more professional staff(not saying congolese people are not intelligent enough to be part of professional staff but lets face it all our artists when they say their staff its the guys who do shopping for them,pick women numbers in concert and street for them and things like that) papa wemba had it hardddddd when he started to be too much into the peter gabriel way of working and he ended up going back to his lambio lambio colonel jagger and co ,same for kester,koffi jb werra all tried to implement the odd professional guys here and there in their staff but it never went too far in most cases

@archo

What happened to Abraham? He could sing and he could dance better than Fally/Heritier, he even had the blessing of JB Mpiana for the first album. But his career never exploded the way I had thought...I'm sure yall would agree, he should have been up there.

Did you notice that whenever Koffi supports mutiny in other bands that it destroys those artist's careers? Djino of BCBG was supported by Koffi, but his career went downhill. Gessac  and Joss Diena were brought in by Koffi, but thrown like trash once they served his goal of hurting Wazekwa. Interesting...

What about Ferre and Fabregas then?
