Youlou was BIG both inside and outside of Franco Luambo's TPOK Jazz ( OK Jazz).
This is one of my favorites (there are many) by Prince Youlou Mabiala.

"This is a small list of albums that Youlou released under his own name. Before that he recorded several albums with TPOK Jazz, when he left them he returned to Brazzaville and began Les Trois Freres with Loko Massengo and Michel Boyibanda, I do not know if they ever released an album.
I more or less bought all the albums he released during the 80s but then lost sight of him, since then I have only found two of his cd's, this time the band's name had changed from Kamikaze Loningisa to TPOK Jazz, Franco's family gave him permission to do so, he probably had more chance that the others because he is married to one of Franco's daughters.
Unfortunately Youlou was struck down with a celebral hemorrhage while on stage in Congo last year, which left his right side paralysed and speechless, although I have since read that he can walk a bit with a cane as support. It is hoped he will not suffer from aphasia and can one day sing again. All compositions by You unless.....
