[MegaRoma2000]

Sooooo good!

[yetira8]

reminds of good times with my dad.any other records BMM?my thinking suggests of turf wars in music world had a hand in the death.

[tbwanat]

Youlou's voice will always beat the rest. Wuuuuuuuuuu th breeze jst passes over.

[BavonWW]

The man I am nicknamed after because my early style was heavily influenced by his playing. Always missed but always thjere in the music...

[PATRICELUMUMBAS]

bobongisa cimitiere naye...ekufa....kabila..est contre..cultur congolaise

[prosper750]

à mon oncle louison choda toujours à ndjili Q9 ton neveu te dedie cette belle melodie de bavon.

[PATRICELUMUMBAS]

oui

[TinyMossez]

What actually would have been the competition like between Bavon and Luambo if Bavon had not died?

[ilungawailunga]

Bavon and Franco sibling rivalry played out in public especially in the music industry. Had Bavon lived long enough who knows what could have happened between them musically. Fate has its own way of sorting things out.

[rkalenga]

Merci pour cette très belle chanson mélancolique et prémonitoire de Bavon Marie marie reprise ici par Luambo et l'OK Jazz. Je n'ai pas connu la période mais j'ai appris à apprécier cette merveille du passé de la musique congolaise.

[atmbuddlake]

[jefomi]

Soki moto akufi bolobi balie ye na bandoki. mais tous les dimanches boliaka nzoto ya kristo pe bolobi amen.Est-ce que boza bondoki? that is the question!

[bonkingza]

this is franco and youlou's version. original version was recorded by himself bavon marie,franco's friend. in the song he preditcted his own death and talked about haterd in their family

[ngongamokili]

Dear bonkingza, are you saying BMM was Franco's friend and not his young brother? Thanks for your comment and clarification & Thanks to Aboubacar for posting this tune and for sharing it. I don't think 'La Voix du Kongo' has an archive as rich as yours. Keep it up

[Nazadanze]

@ngongamokili Bavon Marie Marie was Franco Luambo Makiadi's younger brother indeed!

[bughativeyron]

Bavon MM is dead in 1970,he was born in 1944 (26 years old) God bless us thanksssssss

[ngongamokili]

I was very confused listening to this piece of Bavon MM, as you can easily hear Luambo's voice and guitar and Youlou's voice, everything to make it look a OkJazz piece. Thanks to whever contributed to the clarificaation. For one comment about Kindoki, it seems to me as every succes in africa is justify by Kindoki. However when other use their para-knowledge, sipirituality and mysticisme we (African) glorify it.

Thanx Mayamba65, I concur that this is not the origin song by Bavon. Infact (KALLE ROGERS is also right). It is evidently clear that on this posting, Youlou sings Bavons part( Almost confusing).The beat have all the hallmarks of OK JAZZ too.

[meligirl27]

bravo nostalgie

[faboge]

Bavon, tho! Omera!

[0674513]

le cris d'allarme n'etait pas enttendu il voyais venir sa mort et il a crier au sécours par cette chansons qui l'eu crut? c'etait sa façon de chercher de l'aide, et surtout a l'epoque il ny'avait pas de la connaissance de Dieu comme c'est le cas aujourdhui, si non! il serait sécouru par les hommes de Dieu. (ba ndoki (lwambo) pe bakufaka. kisi pe epolaka ok jazz pe; epanzanaka. peut ètre c'est çà la vérité, peut ètre non! a vous l'entène pour le debat. na esprit ya bien

[ngongamokili]

Merci, Cette chanson n'etait pas do ok jazz (pr clarification), le contenu semble accusé Luambo, jaloux et de la sorcellerie. Qu'est-ce qui fait qu'en 1974, Luambo chantait Kinsiona pour pleurerBavon. BMM poussait un cri d'alarme, ou, coincidence qu'il avait un frere Luambo? Les croyants n'elimineront jamais la sorcellerie/kindoki, toute spiritualité a du mysticisme (kindoki). Le dimanche on mange le corps de Christ et les sorciers sont accusés de manger...

Merci de nous aider à recupérer ce passé qui a fait de la RDC des années 70 le plus beau pays au monde. Nous étions angolais, congolais et Zairois a partagé la grandeur de cette nation.... Bavon Marie-Marie Siongo est un phénoméne, en plus de la guitare, comme son frère Franco, il savait composer des belles chansons...

[jibril2004]

bavon marie marie was franco `s brother he died long time ago before franco

[mayamba65]

No way, TPOK Jazz has tried but Bavon Marie Marie himself was different, very different. His guitar and the crystal clarity sweetness of Negro Success are very different from this one. Those of you who know know what I mean!!! Of course this is not the original song - where is the original? When you get it please post it together with LIBANGA NA LIBUMU. Thank you though.

[NWARE01]

il avait beaucoup du succés le papa de mon ami elvis siongo(que son âme repose en paix)

[kibokoyako]

Hi guys looking for the song france and tabuley did for Bavon. not sure the name but a line that gose Liwa ya bavon....kind of slow music. Am listening to this and its tears here in Melbourne -Australia, Thinking of the days in Nairobi and KBC playing Zilizopendwa.

[AboubacarSiddikh]

I did not say Franco composed it, the name between brackets is the composer and Bavon did record it with Negro Succes, indeed. It's on the very album you see in the clip (African 360.023, 1970). It's Léon Bholen BOMBOLO, typography as on the sleeve, by the way. The three pics under him carry the names Alphonso, Samy and Gaspy. You wouldn't happen to know more about those, would you?

[KALLEROGERS]

Thanx a lot Aboubacar siddikh ( Franco's Islam Name) No pun intended!! One of my favorite Bavon songs. Although I wonder if this is the original song. I think this is Luambo paying respects and tribute to his late brother. Top left corner of album cover is the famed Negro Success guitarist Leon Bolhen. One of the few best guitarist to have made brief stints with OK Jazz. Surely a master piece by all standards!!
