Full concert of Werrason at the Adidas Arena in Paris, on 18 October 2025, later released as a live album. Nicknamed « the King of the Forest », Noël Ngiama Makanda, alias Werrason, is one of the biggest stars of Congolese rumba and soukous, and the founder of the band Wenge Musica Maison Mère. This filmed live concert sees him take over the Paris stage for a long performance blending singing, dance and interlacing guitars, the hallmark of modern Congolese music. Carried by a fervent diaspora community, the show strings together anthems, frenzied sebene sections and danceable sequences, in the infectious energy typical of the genre. This capture documents the vitality of the African world-music scene in Europe and the longevity of a major artist of DR Congo. A full concert ideal for discovering Congolese rumba live and Werrason’s stage power. (Detailed setlist and line-up not verified from a reliable source, and therefore not reproduced.)
