Sly et valentino, its not good to hide your target in replies by not mentioning names. Its clear you targeting me and die hard fans of werrason. I am not a die hard fan of werrason but at least I am not stupid enough to since I don't deny the fact that ferre is a small fish in the river. Who is ferre to be compared to werrason. Take the two to zennith with their bands to play to the same audience and see how the boy will be bashed. Werrason has a better disscography and that is the measurement unit I am using. Sly, being a Zambian, I am the least you can call stupid in here. This forum can crack if you go that way.
What is happening is mere polemic which the two bands understand very well. It mainly benefits Maison Mere. Ferre Gola may be young and only 6 or 7 years into his solo career but what he's achieved can only be ignored or brushed aside by someone who is really stupid. At the moment, Ferre and Fally are ruling and are in demand the world over, the bigger stars are all finished and docile especially Werrason who doesn't go anywhere apart from La Zamba. JB Mpiana at least tours within Congo,it's the same for Koffi who has managed a few tours within Africa so it's Werra who is dormant therefore saying Ferre is far behind is living in denial yet everyone is dancing to his music and he's being invited by even national leaders and other VIP's to perform at private functions etc
If Werra is trully finished you wouldn't have been wasting your time and energy bashing him whenever you get a chance, your bitterness towards Werra will soon ruin your health.
Ferre is a non starter, he cant even fill a sitting room here in East Africa, the only Musicians we adore from Congo are Werra, JB, Koffi and to some extent Fally, let him man up and produce classics like Solola Bien, TH, or Effrakata for him to be in this group.

I personally listen to everything be it by Werra,koffi,JB, if there's anything I like or hate about someone's music,i will say it like I know for a fact that Werrason's song Likambo qualifies to be the best song of the decade because it has a very powerful message and Werrason sang his heart out for mothers out there.
I live and travel a lot within East Africa, I know what is on the ground which you don't know, Ferre is in the same league with likes of Kabose, JDT and Celeo, his songs are not played even in City buses let alone Clubs. The only song by Ferre which is even played regular by Congolese band in their shows is Vita Imana.
Tunutu is telling the truth. Even here in Zambia, when you are in a rumba bar, the songs that top come from fally, jb, werra, koffi and to add wazekwa. When ferre is played, its vita imana or 100 kilo, that's all. I don't hate him but facts are facts.
