Franco: Dernier Concert - Final Performance, 22 Septembre 1989. Chacun Pour Soi.

[Brianmbeya]

A great artist,definitely lived before his time.RIP

[khamano48]

This is my first time of listening to Franco's last stage performance. O Lord, all the commentaries befit the mood. That was not the Real African Franco O.K. Jazz playing that guitar. Congo music lovers and those who understand Lingalla still enjoyed the music. No one can yet underestimate Late Mr. Franco in the music industry.

Thanks AboubacarSiddikh for this moment, like we say in lingala mabele mokonzi. I'm glad that this is not the end of history. For the bible says in Acts 24:15" ...qu’il va y avoir une résurrection tant des justes que des injustes"

[ibrahima1964]

repose en paix franco

Do u guys have or know anybody who by chance have his Funeral's video? I was born on his 50th Birthday,and never saw his Funeral's(my brother,my mom says, had Nightmares when he watched it on TV)

[Fiskarrr]

Guys, this is the moment when that metal bond between you and what you adore is put to test. Words can not describe enough. To sit here and watch this is as devastating as if I was there. Thanks for sharing with us Franco's last trip.

AboubacarSiddikh you must have been overwhelmed..............I wonder what I could have done myself. But I know I would never have had the strength even to dance except sob........

It was painful to watch and listen to this more than 20 years later i can not imagine what it was like being there. AboubacarSiddik I think you speak for most of us when you say, I am paraphrasing, that it was impossible not see everyone tearing. I think he knew he was doing a farewell for his beloved fans.

Franco was big in music but he was not strong enough to overcome the evils of the world. We all miss him, I do.

[vigisas]

I feel like weeping. I don't know how it was like in the concert. The Grand Master never wanted to fail his fans that even when ill he was there to give real music. Luambo may your soul rest in eternal peace. Long Live Rumba, Long Live Franco and TPOK Jazz music. I will ever cherish Franco Music. Thank you AboubacarSiddikh.

[goyave25]

Soy congoleño y ver tantos comentarios en español me encanta eso significa que Franco seguira grande forever

[dvczz]

j'ai les larmes aux yeux!

[karmaya55]

This was almost too painful to listen to... it made me weep... we saw Franco perform only once, in NYC in the early 1980s... what a fabulous night that was... a memory to cherish. His music lives on.

[vulcero]

con't 'I'm praying to God for this illness to go away as soon as possible,' he told an interviewer for the Dutch radio station VPRO after the show. 'I can't keep playing like this. I can only ask the public to excuse me for today. Maybe next year it will be different.'

[yovo83]

Thank you Aboubacar for posting this.

I still don't know whether I should be sad or glad that I wasn't there that day... I had tears in my eyes watching.

[nyaruath]

AboubacarSiddikh . . . . I have waited for this kind of thing for 20 years!!! I have always wanted to know what happened to Luambo, just before he passed on . . . the hospital, his last wishes to us . . . . . his final journey home . . . . Most of us have never been able to see this . . . . . Thank you and thank you and thank you!!! I'm glad you were present when all this happened . . . . . To tell this sad story!!

[Nats3]

AboubacarSiddikh must be honored!!!!!!!!

[quickref2007]

Thank you so much for this and taking your time for the background information...must have been an extraordinarily testing and sad moment in his career and he took the time to say farewell...much appreciated and blessings to you.
