ferre refused to come to naty's show for the promotion of a concert and surely answer questions about boite noire(probably due to naty being well known as one of fally's best friends),so naty said he would ban anything related to ferre until this issue is solved somehow

Naty, he should take it easy and avoid such kind of embarrassing acts. Why not wait for Ferre to get back to him and explain why he couldn't turn up for the show.

Now that guy singing with the lady in the second clip from Karmapa's album is excellent,it's a good song.

apparently ferre clearly refused to be interviewed by him and i am sure its because of fally
 just like  naty has never interviewed jb because of having chosen werra's camp in the polemic era
of course the way he expresses his disagreement can be discussed,but at least i think he deserves credit for wanting to do his job as a professional,he has never dissed ferré on contrary he has regreted several times on tv not being able to interview him
i think ferre should swallow his pride and go to naty's show one day
then again,koffi is the only musician with wazekwa who accepts interviews by every journalists,wemba aswell
 the rest prefer doing it with guys they control and who they know owe them their first europe tour and stuff like that

I see what you mean. The problem with the journalists is that though some are professional, it doesn't help when they align themselves with preferred bands and stars so this is the problem here.

Is this the norm in the industry, journalists aligning themselves with a specific artist?

sometimes,the preference is something virtual and made up, and intelligence helps overcome the confusion
i gave earlier the case of bcbg,one day naty approached them and they understood each other, he was not  actually a guy supporting werra,he was simply a guy from his region and friend of guys like marius muhunga or jacky ndala who were close to nsone
and as a result bcbg musicians now go at naty's show
 i am sure if similar thing can happen with ferre it will be good,and will actually benefit him
and same for the rest of artists
naty is not only close to fally, he is very close the lacoste,wazekwa,manda chante,his former schoolmate titina and so on
 but since those guys(apart koffi who does not care about the supposed camp of journalists) do not have direct rivals it does not bother anybody
and toanwer musicfan,its actually a win-win situation between those who do that system,journalists get opportunities to go in europe,get contacts with some rich men through supporting strongly a musician,then musicians who do it control the journalist they become like their puppets
 for example in the werra-jb era,there were a awful lot of anonymous press articles which were actually written by popular journalists and who were defending their star and  criticising the rival
