From 8TH minute

What’s wrong with the current guy? I know he’s not as good as Makaba but he seemed to be improving and was better than the other guys that were initially tested. Though this guy seems good too

i think deep down werra is not getting EXACTLY what he wants from his soloists,if you take a deep look at it every single maison mere soloist(if you take out the 4X4 ones japonais and mbokaliya) are good looking confident on stage and dancing at times and the less good looking sent to mi solo by default
and certainly with for example ong bak or mayi ya kamba who was with bill the looks were there but he might not have felt the confidence he wants from them

Yeah you’re spot on with everything you stated Archos. I had a feeling that might be the case. Werrason might be cutting himself short, I’m sure there’s a low supply of soloist that are good and charismatic looks wise. He’s already wasted a lot of them over the decades. He should’ve learned his lesson a long time ago

I also feel  the current guy lacks something. However much they tried to hype him, the fire is not there. In term of soloist supply I would think they are available probably recruiters try to place their own guys instead of looking for talent.
In his defense the current soloust has had a very short learning curve without an understudy

That soloist is Tapis Rouge from Wenge El Paris

This guy is one of the best I have seen tested by MM.

I guess after Bikorine departure and the void that was left as there was no understudy then. He plays the notes so smoothly .

I also think Werra is rebuilding his team. They new vocalist is good ( who does Fabro/Ndombe/Mabiala) besides being active in dancing and will invigorate the team. He needs at least three more strong vocalists and dancers.

The atalaku part has beefed up well by Wasabo creations.

You are right. Werrason was not impressed by all guys tested since Makaba left but somehow had to settle for Yamukolo and Van Vedes as there was an immediate vacuum. During rehearsals he pays so much attention to how the soloists perform. He would actually even stand next to him. Fans have also been putting pressure on him as they feel WMMM is known for good Soloists. This is why he has reopened the auditions. They are practically  even head hunting now.

My question to you colleagues is that whom would you recommend they head hunt?

alfred solo would have been perfect for maison mere but he likes that freedom of studio session guy otherwise he was meant to join even la team wata when he left from brigade and was also approached to join other groups
he fits what werra expects from his soloist,good looking confident and creative plus he has a bit of that "luck" you want from your soloist,in the sense that a lot of his work end up in success,or at least in attention,some soloists play well but lack that luck
mayi ya kamba could have nailed it but the guy looked like he wanted to shxx on himself as soon as werra was around,and that is the worst thing to do with werra as a soloist,its a shame fil indien is with but na filet or he could have had a return to maison mere,i remember he got arc en ciel extremely shook on his test i dont recall a soloist in the recent 10 plus years being that careless against werra and freely improvising even when he was put a trap on his path by kakol and co changeing suddenly tempo,also fitted that good looking goofy confident trait

My question to you colleagues is that whom would you recommend they head hunt?

Alfredo Solo

Isn’t Werra preparing a new album?

Yh, Morote

There are two other guys tested besides Jiji and the other who played Operation Dragon was also good.

However there's a soloist he tested some years ( who was congratulated by Sarah Solo then) who effortlessly did
 Kapaya, Bikorine partitions.

I wish he stayed.

whats the name of this soloist and which band was he playing for?

Sarah solo, with leadership war between Kakol and Makaba EerrShould have predicted that Makaba would have left and Sarah could have been the perfect number one using her in dances or even giving her a song as a singer for now I don't think there is any available guitarist who can take that role,  but yes if Alfred Solo wad available him would have been the greatest
