Jour du Werrason

The king who commands stadiums. Werrason, born Noel Ngiama Makanda, fills the Massamba-Debat stadium every time he performs. His fans are not fans. They are believers. When Werrason plays the sebene, the guitar takes off and ten thousand people move as one body. The Werrason camp versus the JB Mpiana camp is a division that runs deeper than politics. You choose your side young and you stay loyal forever.
