Was Signature a group-album or Wazekwa's solo album ? Because in this interview he says that Signature will be a group-album, but in the album he sung lead on all the songs. Or were there some who were credited to his band members ? I don't have the cd, so can't look to the credits.

I know Hono Kapanga and Bijoux Depaulga switched between solo and mi-solo, but who played rhythm guitar on this album and Yo Nani?

And what happened to Papy Louange after Yo Nani? Did he join another group? I liked that duo with him and Gesac better than Eclipse

It was wazekwa's solo plus one song which was for joss but credited to him,he gave one of his songs to joss( to try to boost his reputation since fally and ferre had songs already by that time) but since jps did not know he credited wazeka as author of all song
the rhythm guitar was wazekwa himself and pascal mavita "polygone"
louange remained in europe and has never returned to kinshasa since then its actually the last album he did with wazekwa  then eclipse replaced him

Was it the song the Strategie or Miss ?




Its a shame that they cut the song Miss when the sebene wanted to start. They didn't also release the full version on VHS.

Was Wazekwa not impressed of Hono Kapanga, Bijoux Depaulga, Tripason's songs ? to make from Signature a solo album instead of a group-album, or wanted Felix just to strengthen his position since that he didn't still made his breakthrough at that time ?

yeah it was miss,the songs of the guys of the group it was jps and elvis kemayo if my memory is still good who advised him to focus first on his songs and then if it works out he can do a group album( which he never really did,quickly going for the formula of always releasing along with musicians)

Hang on, I'm confused. Which Wazekwa/Cultura albums were group albums at heart?
