Joe Mpoyi, RIP. Bel homme le type des vrais Luba. Existent-ils encore? Des hommes luba, naturellment beaux?

[20ilunga]

Joe npoyi great looking guy,je me rappelle quand l'orchreste T.P ok jazz etaient venu a lubumbashi au batiment du 30 juin,ce le seule moment que j'avait eu l'occasion de lui voir tout pret car j'etait assis au premiere ranger de seat.c'etait en 1987

[Patmuamba]

J'ai comme l'impression que Manseba, Jo Mpoyi Kanyinda etait un homme triste. Vous pouvez sentir la peine dans presque toutes ses chansons. Qu'a cela ne tienne, il etait beau et en plus, il avait un talent naturel. Repose en paix, Manseba. Un jour, moi aussi, je serai parmi vous; vous qui nous aviez quitte si tot.

@Patmuamba j'ai plus tot l'impression qu'il vivait en direct les paroles de ces chansons. il rendait la chanson vivant. c'est en cela qu' il fut un grand chanteur. c'est vrai, ce fut le plus beau des chanteurs congolais. je crois qu' il devait en être conscient. un jour , je suis tombé sur une vidéo youtube dans laquel on pouvait apercevoir sa tombe. il n'y avait même pas de dalle, rien pat. cela m'avait choqué et attristé.  car il était trés aimé et il méritait qu'on lui rende hommage.

[mantonesoleil]

@Patmuamba il chantait a merveille les chansons écrites par simaro. c'est dommage que l' on ne sache pas grand chose de lui.

[Patmuamba]

@mantonesoleil Je t'avoue que j'ecoute Jo Mpoyi Kanyinda presque chaque semaine. Franchement sa facon de chanter perce mon coeur et je me suis toujours demande pourquoi il chantait si tristement ainsi? Pourquoi il interpretait des chansons tristes? Vous pouvez sentir qu'il n'etait pas un homme heureux. Paix a ton ame, Jo Mpoyi; tu etais fantastique.

One in a millions. Thanks Luambo Makiadi for your body of work.

His not only in his composition, but also in ability t assemble the best musician where member of the band is at the top of his game whenever they performed. He got the best of out his musician. I explained by the fact Franco does not seem to have an ego, where he has this need to play on every song, or always be in the front row of the band.

[Scredlove]

Une voix sans nulle autre pareil.

La plus belle voix du répertoire congolais !

Les congolais devraient lui dresser un monument, pour toute la joie qu'il a apporté au pays. Un monument tout à côté de celui de Carlyto Lassa, Malage de Lugendo, Luambo Makiadi, Tabu Ley, Pépé Kallé, Simaro, Mbilia Bel, les frères Soki, Bavon Marie-Marie, Madilu, Nyoka Longo, Docteur Nico, Papa Wemba, Koffi Olomide, Evoloko. Bref à tous les vrais chanteurs, quoi.

[souverain1er]

@SCSAZM

I don't speak the language, but I believe the song you are looking for is called "Bina Na Ngai Na Respect" by Ntesa Dalients.

[mmesodoh]

If I'm not completely mistaken it should be "Bina na nga na respect" by Franco & Le T.P. OK Jazz

[Lejuno1]

the name of thr song you're looking for is "bina na nga na respect"

[Mitou84]

Yeah!!! I remember this concert. We were in Grammar School and did not have the money to go to see le Grand Franco and the TP OK Jazz. We were playing Franco everywhere and everyday. During the Christmas and New Year, we couldn't get enough of Franco and 'til this day, we still crave him. Thanks AS for posting this.

[Mitou84]

Young Madilu. How cute!!!! RIP

[AboubacarSiddikh]

Not in this song though!!

[LNE1976]

@AboubacarSiddikh You're right. That's Djo Mpoyi

[muvua07]

extract from a future conversation(very ,very far into the future) "......and then there was tpok jazz,aah(sigh)".

this guys were far ahead of their time !!!!.

[babmushe]

Great Djoe Mpoyi (RIP), fantastic performer. Only recently learnt that there was a breakaway at TP OK Jazz in early 80s with Mpoyi taking his way together with others like Lukoki. Bands were formed such as Orchestre Kara de Kinshansa, Le Canon du Zaire, Ba Patrons, Tiers Monde Cooperation, OK International. Anybody with vids of these bands?

[AboubacarSiddikh]

Babmushe, what de you call a breakaway? When a couple of guys slip into a studio for an afternoon?

[babmushe]

Haha...fantastic! So it was not really something to talk about when these guys formed their own 'bands'. It must have been a very short afternoon then, but do you have any famous title produced by one of these 'bands'?

[AboubacarSiddikh]

Kady by Canon du Zaire I seem to remember (Josky, Djo, possibly Diatho) was not too bad. But it's been a while, I'm not sure.

[GIIG2]

My mom loves this song!! thank you =)

[amanda90131]

[Nasipwondi]
