l can't locate both my 25 Minute DVD and CD to confirm the credits, maybe some else can, we know some guitarist don't play on albums...
First let me address this irritating issue of the polemic bullshit by Sankara, it is a fact that Marchouse plays on every song by Ferre, you're learning guitar and hang out with musicians which means you have a bit of knowledge of the recording process so you should know that.

Ferre records 98% of the songs in Kinshasa,when he goes to Europe he records  two or three songs on the album and these are the ones on which he sings all alone and these are the songs on which Europe based session musicians like Olivier Tshimanga, Michel Bass, Mbetenge and others lend him a hand as Ferre goes alone to edit and finalise the record and do the final mix down including mabanga,it is on such trips to Europe that he also edits and including addition of some new vocal lines by singers for instance Arnake's vocals were removed by Ferre and Chibida had to sing instead causing Arnake to lose it and join Maison Mere. This also happened to Asso Ferrari who recorded on Koffi's Bord Ezanga Kombo and other albums but his vocals were removed in Europe because Koffi never liked him coz of his closeness with Cindy. 

Olivier Tshimanga has been in Kinshasa for the last few months and he's added his guitar on many songs on Ingeta but that doesn't mean Coreen Accompa didn't play,it's Coreen who recorded the main rhythm and Olivier added his own touch that's all he does.

Now back to the matter at hand, i don't have the cover of 25 Minutes too but luckily i had saved the album on my computer so i can't confirm the credits so it may well be that it is indeed Mayi Ndombe was guest on 25 Minutes but for what i don't know because at the time Adolphe had plenty of good guitarists.
Your argument is making my point there's a difference between being a guest on an album and cleaning up or polishing the works of the best rythmist ;) ;D The soloist playing in this clip is not the one that created the partitions but out of respect he consulted with the creator like Thsimanga might have done with Polycap in Kin. Btw my boy (who is a natural) can easily play the drums in this song but that doesn't mean him or I will start thumping our chests ;D

Kaisari, Sly has already told you about the Marchouse playing on the albums issue so I don't know if you just keep on talking to talk or what because Sly has already told it straight.

l doubt DJ Sly needs a Marchouse to speak on his behalf or that I need a translator ; looks like you are the Jdog sniffing and rumbling for the sake of it... :D
