Love my vieux and petits,but its getting ridiculous what is happening of late,with the "youngers' you have the anti ferre brigade (wata lacoste and co ) who for some could not care less in particular about werra himself but use werra to deal with their issues with ferre and literally put clan wenge in the second position which is already a travesty to the principle of the clan(not saying clan is opposed to any friendship outside,but we all know thhe codes of congolese music,there is some limits in some things),then the fabro robinio deplick heritier camps
and as we know there has been the revived conflict of blaise and werra at socoda which they have managed to extend to whoever of the clan  among the big 6 is buddy buddy with blaise is automaticly part of a plot against werra
and now after 40 years of discarding them from the wenge history,werra decides to reinclude aime buanga zingzong as an indirect hint of jb being just some random guy they recruited well after and stuff like that and alluded to lisapo one sung in pentagone without their names which he never opposed to
i apologize if the name of werra is very present in my post this is not a personal dig at werra,this is just the basic context,which then includes reactions of the guys,its a given that jb and werra are by a countrymile the most powerful of the clan so unfortunately if werra find himself in the centre of action his name will come out,just like jb will also be called out for the reaction which some will consider as the action depending on which perspective they see
and all that for me is completely stupid,even more if its a strategy to be relevant,because jb has proven times and times again even his individual career that even if you offer him that type of buzz on a plate he'll most likely do the opposite(which doesnt make him a saint,let me set the record straight here)
these guys at their big age should be out there giving us  a wenge album every other year, a clan wenge festival to promote the groups coming from two three generations behind them in the clan and stuff like that,and instead they are out there serving us childishness with a big smile on their faces
its very infuriating

Couldn't agree anymore. Escpecillay on the festival aspect. W e should be getting Netflix documentaries and annual festivals from them by mow. A true shame

Bro are you seeing Jf doing interview rounds he’s now saying jb was a nobody before Wenge 4x4 and that jb is Werra’s musical child, lol what a complete violation and piss take.

yeah,he seems to have some mad personal grudge against jb especially since the death of oceane,because he was the one who declared oceane to give her mother papers until jb returns to europe from african tour
and he'll continue doing what he does because he is now addicted to interviews,the amount of interviews he does without a single bible mention is increasing(funnily enough since his "enemy" denis lessie is stuck home with a stroke he does exactly what he was fighting lessie about with musicians) and it suits musicians agendas to have such a guy with some media audience whether we like him or not who says the same thing they say in their musical banter
that being said whoever tries to turn jb werra into a father son thing is not right,to avoid saying rude words,because its literally having jb attributes and werra's which helped wenge last 15 years,its not like a quartier latin which would exist without a depitcho or a fally,or a maison mere which will retain a certain  level without ferre as long as there is a decent deputy like heritier around,wenge even resisted without makaba for most of almost a decade before split,but both jb and werra are way too big for this type of discussion people are trying to have

Thank you for speaking about this. Here is my take on this soap opera. I know it is unpopular but here is my belief.

Werrason is one of the founders of Wenge Musica alongside Aime Buanga and Didier Masela. These men set the tone for Wenge Musica and Werrason is a talented musician. He used to play bass guitar and drums which Aime claimed in his interviews. Werrason is an artist and he knows how to do strategies. That is one of the reasons why he became a legend that he is today. He had a strong singing team during his best days with his band Wenge Maison Mere. Werrason has been able to show great singers, guitarists and animators. We have seen Heritier, Ferre Gola, Baby Ndombe, Flamme Kapaya (now he is a gopsel artist), Christian Solo (he is also a gospel artist), Brigade, Bill Clinton, Celeo Scram, Serge Mabiala (he sounded almost similar to Werrason during his younger years), JDT, etc.

However JB Mpiana was and will always be the true face of Wenge Musica. I am talking the original Wenge. Not Werrason nor Didier Masela nor Alain Makaba nor Blaise Bula nor Adolphe Dominguez. JB Mpiana was the glue that made Wenge Musica get big and he was the one who worked hard to get Wenge Musica to compete against older people like Bozi Boziana, Koffi Olomide, Lutuma Simaro, Madilu, Papa Wemba, Pepe Kalle, etc. It is not by accident that Koffi called himself Mukulukulu in response to JB being called Mukulu. Many people looked at JB Mpiana more than Werrason during the original Wenge days. JB Mpiana was the one that many fans were running towards.

JB Mpiana was destined to be the leader of the original Wenge Musica. If he was not the leader, there is no way Wenge Musica would be as great as it is today not only musically but even in a social sense. JB was the one who kept Adolphe, Alain, Blaise, Didier and Werrason together. If JB was not the in the picture, there is no way that Adolphe, Alain, Blaise, Didier and Werrason would have been in one place. Perhaps Didier and Werrason could have done somethings together as Mfumu Vata pointed out that these two men were friends or maybe perhaps Adolphe and Blaise could have done somethings together. Alain would have been a great session guitarist as Papa Wemba used him for his albums like Bakala dia Kuba and even Notre Pere.

But I could never see Adolphe, Alain, Blaise, Didier and Werrason truly happy together if there is no JB involved. Proof, remember 2010 or 2011, there was a Wenge reunion with these five men and it did not gather much buzz. Why? JB was not there despite the fact that actually Werrason was already more popular than JB at this point. The recent reunion had a little success because JB was involved and people felt that it was Wenge. Plus we know already that there is bad blood between Blaise Bula and Werrason as well as between Adolphe Dominguez and Werrason due to issues coming from their old days when they started Wenge Musica Maison Mere. Blaise Bula himself is not very social and is living a hypocritical relationship with Adolphe Dominguez as both have problems with Werrason. Werrason himself does not desire to truly speak to either Adolphe or Blaise. Didier just keeps himself away from the other Wenge guys apart from occassionally seeing JB. Alain Makaba still only prefers just to be with JB if there is a special occassion.

All these situations prove that JB Mpiana was destined to be the leader of Wenge Musica Original. JB was the only reason why Adolphe, Alain, Blaise, Didier and Werrason ever agreed to be together in the first place.
