There’s  mistake in the description them writing Vita Imana and La Paix, while those two songs were in volume 2. I remember during the facebook era Tino C posting more than 50 pictures of Werra's show at Zenith of 2008 and 2010. I don't remember on which page it was, but I think Werrason's official facebook page that dissapeared. Fally Ipupa used to do the same thing for his shows in the early 2010s on Facebook. It's a shame that there's no album of picture on facebook or instagram of Werrason's events at Bercy, Zenith 2002 and Palais des Sports. It would be great to see those picutres back.

In the credits you can see that there’s written that next to JPS Production, the video being a co-production with City 7 Belgium/Wide Angle/Production Lumière (the company of Monsieur Yann), who organized the event. The crazy thing is that when watching the credits towards the end of the video  you will not see the label being mentioned in the credits nor Monsieur Yann himself. Jean Pierre Saah really did Monsieur Yann dirty.



Yesterday, I saw a woman called Oasis complaining about Heritier and Werrason being ungrateful to them. Claiming that it’s because of her that JPS Production managed to get the rights of the images over Bercy, since that Monsieur Yann refused to give him it. After that Werrason supplied her to go to Belgium to see Monsieur Yann and convince him to sell the rights over the images to JPS, which she managed to do and Jean Pierre Saah being surprised.

Thinking about the Bercy-show. I wonder if the show would have the same succes if it was organized at Forest National in Brussel, which Monsieur Yann originally wanted to do, only to be influenced by Hugues Luvelela to move it to Bercy. I don’t remember which video it was, but there people discussing on TikTok or YouTube that JB, Wemba and Werrason all managed to do Olympia, Zénith and Bercy, because of Koffi, the hype around it with the polemic (about who sell it out, who having the best crowd, who would do mpiaka) and that if it was in London, Brussels, Berlin or Madrid it would not have the same impact, also artists having a gap of 2, 3 years or 10 years like the way Tabu Ley and Abeti Masikini did the first Olympia’s (1970, 1971 & 1973) and Zénith (1988). Because Papa Wemba peformed at Forest National in July 1999, a few weeks after the release of Fula Ngenge, but he didn’t manage to sell the venue out, despite fanclubs mobilizing people in Paris & Brussels and influent donors convincing Werrason to cancel his show at Olympia that was planned on the same date. However, the show just with Viva la Musica “Cour des Grands” & Molokai and not Nouvelle Ecriture.
