Big difference in style of playing between Thierry and Kapaya, for me it was easy to tell who was playing and it's the case for most guitarists. Mogratana first came close to Kapaya's style on his song Esclave D'amour from the album Temps Presente otherwise he was always the weakest link and was mainly on mi-solo but look at Kimbangu, went straight to solo as he's a colour copy of his idol Kapaya.

On the song Simeon @6:00, he did such a wonderful job that you would think it was Flamme.
After all this time Thierry Mogratana still have that taste, that gic, that sprinkle in the guitar even though he played old ssolos I honestly taught some solos of him in Alerts Generals were of Kapaya but really good the other guitarriste it's Arc En Ciel he have been working since Kimbangu's departure I guess and he played Satellite and In get a really really good youngster and he keep going like this maybe he can be between Kimbangu and Kapaya, I love the Musselu and the elastique solo very good well done, but, you know I always ask myself why Mogratana isn't considered as one of the best recent era guitarriste along with Kapaya and Look Kimbangu

I think Werra preferred other soloists, for the simple fact that Thierry is too much basic I mean he is more of a scale guitarist up down middle and so on while if you listen to Kapaya for example in Ca Sonne at the first beggining Kapaya solo was honestly wow I don't even know how to define it was like he brought us to China then To Congo AMD all over the globe with that solo something out of rule unique inimitable fresh while Thierry even in his Wemba days where sometimes doing the same solos in one generique for example in Kolo Histoire and listen to that record it remind of an old great guitarriste who dead a lot of years ago. And I think this is why Were a give other soloists the main Generique Mogratana even if he is complete he needs to breakt put from the box being crazy on solo for a little bit, he is so composed when he plays never smiled always focused come on kid have some fun, ifact watching Arc En Ciel he is a guy who really like to show that enjoys playing guitar and the smile ohis face when he plays is incredible
