he was asked about papy bastin leaving and he said he has his own reasons he respects him as an older brother and the journalist tries to trigger him saying that bastin said he left the group with debts because he was not earning anything and he said  you can make money but its a matter of discipline the person who earns 1000 and saves some and the one who goes all partying wont have the same situation at the end,and the best counter example to bastin's words is that in his own new band it did not even take a month for some of the known faces to leave but he wishes him the best
he was asked about zaparo and said zaparo is still in the band but stayed longer in europe due to personal issues,but he still is part of the group and the journalist asks about the fact he was seen with bastin in france despite bastin leaving,and he said they are not enemies  and the journalist goes like what if in the future he is seen chatting to roga roga and he says its normal roga is his vieux so its not a problem,and added that it was totally normal that zaparo has showcases and songs on his own since he is been doing it since zangul(just that the income was controlled by the boss) and has been doing it in nouvel horizon aswell so its not because of a fallout,and that he did not participate on their maxi single to be released for the simple reason that he did not rehearse with them and it was also an occasion to start testing the reserve atalakus along with de braza,and that they want to implement a new culture in congolese music that its the group first and not individuals,and even himself sonor as technically the leader without liking that leader tag,it happened that he was sick but the group still performed abroad without him,as it can happen also with ramatoulaye but the group will still perfom,unlike the standard logic of congolese music where the groups fully depend of the humour of the leaders to perform or not
he was asked about him not promoting another soloist now that he is a leader and he says its a process,they are already there but he allows them to grow,like him started in the pre-extra musica version in 92 but took almost 10 years to really cement a strong name
and then the journalist asks if its true that its roga who taught him guitar and he said no they have a common teacher leo bvegadzi to who roga took him to train him like he trained the whole legendary backline of original extra before,but then roga contributed a lot in him growing once he nailed the fundamentals from leo,and the journalist asks so can we consider roga as your mentor and he said yes of course which surprises the journalist
and sonor adds that they did not create nouvel horizon so that the rest of congolese music disappears and he is asked if he does not regret the split he says no because he is financially much much more comfortable now because now he is paid on percentage like the other co founders

Regardless of their standing within the orchestra, I'm glad Sonor makes it a point to speak positively of Bastin and Zaparo. That team of Vision was so strong, sometimes it feels like the recruiting of De Brazza and Rossen was more motivated by a lack of confidence in the new crop of singers than having old friends relive their glory days for much better pay and group conditions

yeah the freedom they gave to the guys who were seeing europe for the first time turned against them,if that team of bonbon rouge,willo,fbi and co stayed longer than that,they might have reached a new dimension and made the group even stronger,but instead the group had to start again with inexperienced people for most plus the void of kassoul aswell so thats a change of 4 5 faces its too much within a 2 3 years period,so like you said i think rossen and de brazza benefitted from that to add experience,but then bastin's talk is blocking the way for some others like kerson who are trying to join and its giving fear that he might be welcomed put ahead of a youngster like bastin was then leave and only talk negative

My messages disappeared what is happening?

I really hope Kerson rejoins, because he looks like he's struggling a bit. He tried a group with Arafat and Rav4, but it's time to join a winning team. I'm not saying Sonor is perfect, but Levyson and Bastin had a good 2 years before they left. Typhoide rejoined Zangul and he's barely been at concerts and no clips since then...
