Mbongo (Lutumba Simaro) - T.P. O.K. Jazz 1977

[Patmuamba]

Manseba Jo Mpoyi Kanyinda tu es et tu resteras a jamais dans nos coeurs. Tu es un cadeau que Dieu avait donne a ceux, qui comme moi, aiment ecouter de la musique. Tu etais talentueux, tu etais beau, tu etais un simple homme,... Manseba Jo Mpoyi Kanyinda. Ah oui, l'argent est la source de tous les maux que nous avons sur cette terre des hommes; les guerres, les divisions, le racisme,... Bons conseils pour tout le monde. Reposes en paix, Jo Mpoyi Kanyinda, manseba.

@Patmuamba Ce sont des mots du compositeur Lutumba Simaro.

@AboubacarSiddikh Your dedication to OK discography and the pleasures therefrom derived on YT, would warm even the heart of that heartless opaque god who used to recieve human sacrificial hearts atop Mayan and Aztec tempels. In this peace we must mention the devilish stringing of Mavatiku Visi Michellino, the other wizard from the Dr. Nico guitar school. We see why he left OK: There is no [artistic value addition] room for Franco guitar when Visi stars beside a divine Thiery Mantuika n Simaro.

[AboubacarSiddikh]

@Jarawilla Maybe he just left because someone else was offering more money. By the way, actually it was the Tino Baroza guitar school. Nico became more famous but Tino Baroza was the originator.

[PapaBahia]

@Jarawilla It is not a dedication; it is more like a destruction of the livelihoods of the 18 children of Franco, their chidlren, and all others who could have counted on royalties from this music easing the hardship that is the one constant in their lives in Africa...

[Jarawilla]

@PapaBahia Good to raise the point of royalties. But with the rise of this new medium, technologies and associated new modes of music consumption, the music industry must undergo a re-structuring to author a new way of compensation. Copyright in the original form is a dead business. Songs are on sail at I-tunes for 5 cents a-piece. One can make one mp4 CD containing 200 franco songs for $1. Dont battle technology, use it.

[AboubacarSiddikh]

@PapaBahia During his career, Franco signed away his materials and that of his band members basically never looking beyond the release at hand. When he negotiated the release of his next singles, he was not anticipating cd releases 10 years after his death. So these rights were sold, re-sold and again, and came into the hands of creeps who had no relation whatsoever with anybody even remotely related to anybody ever to play or sing a note in OK Jazz. Nobody ever saw a dime for all these cd's.
