If only Ferre had continued with this type of musical arrangement as a bonus to the rhumba odemba he does, his rivals would have been sunk by now. It's sad we never got to hear much of Christian Solo, he left just when we saw the next Alain Makaba on lead guitar.
I don't think Ferre is really rumba man as much as he wants to think he is i'd say his Colleague Jdt is somebody how can claim that title as produced better rumba's then him each time I think ferre needs a balance otherwise he sound to boring and foreseeable, he needs experiment everything and other musical arrangements because his talent is enormous just to stay on one lane that what I think lets him down on many occasions.

Am sure you're aware that there are different categories of rhumba,JDT and many others play the standard rhumba and that mixed with tcha tcho whilst Ferre who is younger has taken a different route,he adopted the OK Jazz rhumba odemba and restricted himself to the two typical Lutumba Simaro and Franco favourite arrangement styles so there is not much of a variation however that has made a difference to his music and it's why he's way ahead of anyone else apart from Fally and the bigger stars like Werra and Koffi. Ferre can fill Zenith easily by the likes of JDT will struggle so Ferre's strategy has paid of and credit to him.
No Ferre is no a little boy of course c'est un grand parmi le grand, what I'm saying his done too much of the odemba style with his talent he is able to do all styles of music and rumba's like Papa Wemba who's made all types of songs pop, jazz, folk and etc. Ferre has the talent to do that easily what worries me stick to one spot instead of pushing himself further to a new horizon that is what gets me mad at him either way his big artist who can fill up Zenith any day but what I also mean with somebody like JDT don't exactly what you'll get from him in his songs each song has a different arrangement but with Ferre you already it's going to odemba it's too obvious it the same with Koffi and Fally too much cut and paste not enough diversity you see what I mean.
Newside is correct. Ferre gola has the ability to work around many styles including the rumba that was played during wenge musica. You can easily predict the style that the next song will exhibit. Thats makes his albums a bit boring and he seems stuck at the same level of performance. Making a few fans happy does not open you up to the mass.

Making a few fans happy does not open you up to the mass.We all know what Ferre is capable of and it's the same for even the likes of JB,Koffi and others however, the fact we cannot ignore is that today, musicians now depend on millionaires to put food on their table as they cannot play in Europe where they used to make money. The millions of fans around the world either buy pirated records or get shared files from friends so it is the few minority fans who sponsor them for individual songs who matter to the likes of Ferre,Fally and others. Why do you think the likes of Koffi and JB now concentrate on non music related investments. Congolese music is dead so whoever pays and asks for a particular song is the person Ferre will listen to not youtube fans or bloggers.
You right but ferre needs some spice.
