Those Zoulou and New Jack gangsters really gave them a hard time. late Loris la Congolaise was really close to Ferre at that time. I wonder what made her part ways with Ferre during his solo career. If you had Tiktok at that time, every week a video would have been viral about a musician getting attacked in Paris or Brussels.

So in reality it's Japonais who the "dernier fils" of Wenge ? Ferre, his brother and mother had really a hard life. No wonder that Ferre is really attached to his mother with everything she did for them to survive. That must have been a huge shock when their uncle passed away.

Times have really changed, today the release of a simple poster of an upcoming album on social media doesn't have any impact. While back in the days, like Thierry Kabundi explained, Place Victoire in Kinshasa would been full with people to see the poster of Kibuisa Mpimpa or T.H.

The way Ferre explained how he and met Seguin after that they came back from the Titanic-tour, made me wonder if Alain Mpela, Titina, Aimelia and co were not meeting Didier Masela, Adolphe Dominguez, Ali Mbonda or Christian Mabanga secretly. You wouldn't imagine it, especially the way the BCBG vs Maison Mère war became after the release of the albums Titanic and Force d'Intervention Rapide. I only know about Blaise Bula visting Adolphe Dominguez, but that was to made clear that he was about leave Wenge BCBG and record his album Ponderation 8 with Adolphe Dominguez immediately leaking it to the press once arriving in London. The same for Didier Masela going to JB Mpiana to say that he was about to leave Wenge Maison Mère and to join him, only to change his mind last minute, when they received visa's for UK.


I still regret to have lost the famous cassette of Wenge Maison Mère performance at La Samba Playa, when the team was complete. Almost everyone had that cassette at home like Wenge BCBG's performance at Bataclan. But at that time everyone felt sorry for Werrason and didn't think that they would make it one and seeing them (the singers) as to young and weak compared to Alain Mpela and Aimelia. However, there some kind of sympathy and respect for Werrason, also with the time passing and Wenge BCBG staying longer in Europe, it kept growing and also other cassettes of their events at Samba Playa coming on the market and at Intercontinental. Fans and journalists at some point asking to Wenge BCBG-members if they weren't overstaying in Europe and Maison Mère taking Kinshasa over. Loris la Congolaise and Tabou Fatou at some point even went to Kinshasa and supported Maison Mère. Rumors also being spread that Bill Clinton started dating Tabou Fatou.




Thinking back about how Adjani joined Laviniora Esthétique of late Dakumuda is in reality crazy. Like why did he not join Wenge Tonya Tonya, Wenge BCBG or Cultura Pays'Vie, who were bands that really confirmed. It's a shame that Dakumuda passed away otherwise he could maybe explain how he managed to get Adjani, Burkina Faso and the dancers Dona Beija, Bebe Bercy and Bete Sauvage for a short time in his band

ya marie is everything to hervé there is a part he forgot to mention i think at some point they moved to a "maison inachevee" somewhere and the guy kicked them out when he came and they did a couple of days in the streets until ya marie went to family house and took jewels of her parents to sell then they moved to bandal to live with late guy's late father that moment hurt ferre so much that he promised himself that the day he has money he'll buy that house they were kicked from and he did
i think the other guys want since people barely commented surely because it was extremely long to completely watch,i'll do a summary of each hour one by one
mulala is the last one to have joined before,the wenge admins just count ferre as the last because ferre spent the most time,mulala and japonais did a year max while ferre two and half
yeah we dont have too much effect of surprise anymore and i dont know if i am alone but i really hate those "15h situation ya salle,18h,20h premiere partie " and so on reports people make,for me it makes the show too predictable
this is the bad side of this era,and the consequence is that most event just have a little moment of glory then vanished
while the past ones who had max 3 famous promotion videos then the concert months after stay in time because there is still an effect of surprise

Didn’t Blaise also meet with Werra after he left BCBG? I can’t imagine Masela joining BCBG I don’t think he would’ve lasted long.
Before Aimelia used to get the blame about them turning Ferre away but Ferre himself said it was Blaise lol. Ferre going to maison mère was the best decision he could ever made because it lead to him being rich now and all the success and being one of the faces of Congolese music today.

Didier Masela change his mind about joining BCBG because he was likely exhausted by the music business; he tried to launch his own group that failed (Joss Diena was briefly there before returning to Wazekwa) and he was bitter from how Werra forced himself as the supreme leader.

Why did Japonais run away during the recordings of JB Mpiana's first album? And did Ficcare fall out with JB during that time because his contributions to that album and Titanic were minimal

Yes, they reconciled when Werrason came back from the Solola Bien trip. It was normally meant that Werrason would bring Blaise Bula and Manda Chante as guests for his Bercy-show, but it didn't happen

According his own words in different interviews, he wasn't liking the way Werrason was treating him during the tour, which is why he left. Fi-Carre didn't fall out. It was that Alain Makaba was already the main solist of Wenge plus Japonais came with a new style (althought not playing it as end product), so they privileged them instead of him. The same on Titanic. Alain Makaba was the main solist and also present when they started to prepare the album in Kinshasa shortly after the split, which made both Fi-Carre and Burkina Faso being left with only 2 songs to play lead. Many people think that it is Burkina Faso playing lead on the most songs, since that Makaba wasn't there during Kinshasa concerts of the album and Burkina Faso playing it, while just played the generique and his song Serge Palmi.

Finally got to see the whole interview. Nice to hear Ferre’s background and his upbringing. His mom really had a strong impact on his life. Ferre’s career is something else he was with Wenge 4X4 then went to Maison Mère then help create Les Marquis then went solo for a little bit got a contract with Quatier Latin then left after a year or so and now is one of the biggest artists in DRC and all of Africa. I wish the interviewer would’ve asked Ferre about Guy and how it was like having your little brother in your band. So Ferre was nervous about not being able to fill Stade De Martyrs?

It seems that Didier Lacoste's singing-skills didn't convince Ferre going in the beginning of Maison Mère, for the way he reacted to Thierry Kabundi and the way he reacted when Thierry came with the story of Pepe Kalle, makes it feel that Lacoste invented it

Why have Lacoste failed? Still to this day I can't understand d how he did when his Generique (one of the main reason artists used to blow up) were so good, Boniomai, C'Est Par La Lq Solution and recently Niekesse what happened that didn't make him big like Ferre and Fally?

He saw himself having "won the battle" too early and wanted to align on ferre and fally's behaviour,back in the days where both could be 6 months in europe,and that destroyed his band in the long run and since he was making money from side business he was not taking his career too seriously anymore
