Werrason

Noël Ngiama Makanda (born 25 December 1965), known professionally as Werrason, is a Congolese singer-songwriter, composer, producer, philanthropist, and the bandleader of Wenge Musica Maison Mère. He was a co-founding member of Wenge Musica, a musical group that played a pivotal role in the development of the ndombolo dance music genre during the 1990s. Often referred to as "Roi de la Forêt" ("King of the Forest"), Ngiama is widely recognized as one of the emblematic figures of Wenge Musica, with hits such as "Mulolo", "Kin É Bougé" (featuring JB Mpiana), and "Kala-Yi-Boeing". Following Wenge Musica's disbandment in 1997 due to internal disputes between him and JB Mpiana, the band split into Wenge Musica Maison Mère, led by him, and Wenge BCBG by JB Mpiana.
