@tbwanat, if you think that is funny, you ain't heard nothing yet. First time I got to DRC there was this guy who kept insisting "Nataka kuuzia wewe bouteille moya ya bière". It took me almost a week to figure that the kind soul simply wanted to buy me a drink!!!!!

[Ekaxx]

Great stuff. Now, THIS IS A CRY FROM THE WILDERNESS. I'M DESPERATELY LOOKING FOR A CONGOLESE SONG THAT USED TO BE VERY POPULAR IN KENYA IN THE 1980'S: SALONGO. WHO CAN TELL ME WHERE I CAN FIND IT? I CAN'T EVEN REMEMBER WHO TEH COMPOSER WAS. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

[waithakas]

This song made me steal KSh 143 from my mum to go and just see him when he visited Kenya back in 1980s and guess what i was less than 13yrs so they did not let me get through the door , but that did not prevent me, i climbed through the back office window, of course i broke it , i know is bad but i was just in love with Franco, just RIP the king of african Music, you were just every thing most people needed in life, you will always be remembered for ever.
