Well answered. I had always wondered why BCBG doesn't play some classics . However I really like "Danico" ( who was the composer?).

Danico is credited to JB Mpiana however we know he may not have been the original composer since all these musicians just buy songs off composers.

Thanks Sly...Danico when sang before JB comes on stage just kills me.

I like how Ficarre played on that song infact on the whole album since it was him who played most of the songs on the album.

1. Bill Clinton remains the best in the game no doubt , others doubt him or say he's finished but he rightly answers in his latest generique that '' he cannot finish completely,he comes back afresh all the time like a snake sheds it's old skin to show a new skin.''

2. Ferre says he's an equal of Werrason in the simple sense that he's now an employer of many too so in effect Werrason is now a colleague therefore there must be mutual respect between both of them.

3. Papy Kakol and Ali Mbonda are the only ones left in Maison Mere because it is not easy for an instrumentalist to leave and establish oneself elsewhere,many have moved and that's been the end of them, switching camp is the game played by singers not instrumentalists. Titina at least went to the biggest band at the time but where is he now.

4. Japonais was and still is an excellent and complete guitarist but as for being revered, it's a matter of choice. Yes, Japonais was the face at the time but if you listen to the band's first album, Flamme played on quie a few songs too and his style was completely different that is why on the second album, Flamme was now elevated as lead guitarist and that was the beginning of the end for  Japonais as Flamme brought the sound which was more appealing.

5. Because in Congolese music law doesn't seem to exist, it is okay for any artist or band to sing or cover whatever song they like without giving credit or asking for permission for instance we all know the song Djojo Ngonda is for Maitre Ficarre who had gone with JB in their faction BCBG so the then Wenge Musica Maison Mere which hadn't had a huge repertoire or discography found it okay to play whatever song they did in the previous band Wenge Musica BCBG 4X4, even JB Mpiana and his BCBG could equally have done the same,they could have played Adolphe,Masela or Werrason's composition but for pride, to date,you will never hear BCBG playing a song by any of the other former leaders of Wenge Musica except for JB's songs.

6. Adolph Dominguez certainly was an equal of Werra at that time and so was Adolphe Dominguez the founding father or Chairman of the original band. Christian Mwepu the other bassist also shown in the same video also said in interviews that they started the band from scratch with him also being responsible for recruitment along with Ferre and others. Ferre was very young at the time that is why he couldn't rub shoulders with the likes of Werra and Adolphe but he played an instrumental role in building the band and was the face of the band having been the lead singer so even Werra owes his success to Ferre and the others because Werrason did not single handedly found Wenge Musica Maison Mere,he was stuck like Adolphe and Masela and they had to rely on the new musicians at the time including Japonais himself as JB Mpiana took almost the entire band including the elite like Blaise Bula and Makaba who was the Artistic Director and made Wenge was because of his artistic work. Werra,Adolphe and Masela were left with completely nothing because even the instruments were taken by JB and company. Werrason used underhand methods to emerge as lone leader, the story is very clear.

Thank you for the breakdown. I now know more than I knew
