Is it true what he said about Werrason’s Bercy about half-feeling the stadium or is he just a pro-JB. Because I remember that the audience at Werrason’s Bercy became the record of that musichall, before that the capaticity went from 17.000 seats to 20.300 in 2015.

 not half filling but there was settings done like in some other concerts,especially zenith, there were some zenith which had a good hundred of empty seats if you count the number of people but it was not noticeable because of the configuration, you can see that the guy credits werra as the more popular artist though so it's surely not hate,but i guess he exaggerated the thing,just like on the other hand most of those "plein" were exaggerated because of hype

Yeah, I understand. So no one of Congo filled Bercy ? I remember JB-fans saying about Werra’s Bercy ”batiaki rideau na kati kati” hahahaha.

I think now that he was right about the configuration, after watching Werra & Koffi’s crowd quickly and comparing it with Maître Gims’s Bercy. But how could Koffi have then dreamed about performing at a 51.000 Seats Parc des Princes and JB Mpiana at Stade de France ? With Kassav having performed in 2009 at Stade de France do you think that it possible that a Congolese artist could fill  Stade de France these days ?

I was able to attend his 2001 Zenith. I still wish I could go back in time and attend Bercy

The stage for Werra Bercy is seemingly more forward than Koffi's or JB. Stage design at Werra's Bercy was also non-existant

For Youssou's annual  Bercy "Grand Bal" he filled the venue the first couple years then he movie the stage forward so the front row surrounds him. So attendance was probably <12k. He still attracts big crowds, but it's a bit less than before.


Wow, look how humbly he taveled to the venue and came on stage - such a classy guy. Our artists in comparison either came from the sky (Koffi  :D) or was carried onto the venue in a throne (Wemba)

I don't believe him. He doesn't give any proof. Koffi Bercy was full or at least close to being full. According to the Wikipedia page of Bercy (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palais_omnisports_de_Paris-Bercy), Koffi filled it.

Unless the author gives us some proof, this is speculation on his part.
