Franco was the godfather of African music, in fact a music doctor.

Abou:

Who is doing the solo guitar here? I believe it is Michelino. If so, I think 1:57-2:25 is probably his best moment with TPOK Jazz.

@souverain1er In your dreams!! Who do you think Ndombe is calling "champion" here? It's true, Michelino plays this part in the video, but here it's Franco. Michelino is very deep in the mix here. In this period, Franco was still searching for his new role in a three guitar setting. On several other songs from the 1975 video, the roles are reversed between Michelino and Franco. The worst example of this is Basalela in which Franco is majestic in the live video and very disappointing on record.

@AboubacarSiddikh

Ouch!

In Bisalela, I think Franco is great, but as soon as Lutumba's rhythm guitar starts, my ears just gravitate to it.

je pensais être le seul. J'ai fais la même chose avec mes enfants quand je me suis procuré cet album. Et je continue jusqu'aujourd'hui à me bassiner moi-même. Je l'adore.

Dites moi si Le Grand Maître a laissé des enfants derrière lui. Merci.

[orangekush3]

@douallaetingue en effet le maitre avait deux enfants, avec une femmes qu'il cachait du publique. dites-moi il s'agit de quel album?

[tbwanat]

@orangekush3 @douallaetingue le Maitre avait deux enfants? Je pensai qu'ils étaient douze. Je sais pas alors.

[orangekush3]

@tbwanat je pense que vous avez raison, 12 sounds just about right. perhaps he had more, na basi mosusu...nani ayebi ya solo?

[orangekush3]

@tbwanat 12 sounds about right, na basi mosusu, ...nani ayebi ya solo? he was a womanizer towards the end of his life anyways.

[tbwanat]

@orangekush3 teheheeee j'aime tes derneiers remarques. Mais je n'ai pas compris ton Lingala. Je suis kenyan qui ne comprends que Swahili, l'anglais, Luo et Francais.... But deux et douze sounds similar when 4llowd by a word tht bgins in a vowel ex enfants. douze enfants or deux enfants.....

[fozrv007]

That's muzic remind me my father Bath Pedro ...je dedicace ce morceau a mes enfants que j'ai bassiné tous les été avec cet album 20e anniversaire ..

Pure Merveilles

Very excellent work by Mavatiku Visi aka Michelino.

It was done when the boys were young and energetic if you watch the video.I love the voices and dance of Josky,Pepe Ndombe,Wuta Mayi,Youlou,Lola Checain,Gege and Luambo the Great.
