Pesa Position Na Yo (Madilu) - Franco & le T.P. O.K. Jazz Télé Zaire 1986

Madilu's biggest hit on which Franco played. In fact, there were only two, the other was Boma Ngai, Ngai Na Boma Yo To Bomana.

So I am not not talking about Franco's compositions on which Madilu did some singing, such as Mario, Non!, Tu Vois? (aka Mamou), Makambo Ezali Bourreau, but I am talking about songs composed by Madilu on which Franco played the guitar. Those were only two. In ten years.

Vocals: (fltr) Kiesse Diambu, Aimé Kiwakana, Malage de Lugendo and Madilu.

lyrics (sent to me by genda68)

Pesa Position

Bolingo eleki na nga Angela
ekosi nga na zua malade
nalinga mibali kasi na suki
nafukami epai nayo
carte de visite ya pamba opesa nga
Shongo olangwisi nga na wee papa
libala ekomi kaka na bondela
elongwe kobondela ekomi na sambela

Mokoli ngo makambo ebele
nga nakanisa mingi ooo
nasengi na nzambe asunga
po to vanda na shongo oo

mobali tango alingaka moto o mama
azongaka sima mama ayee

Namileli nzoto na nga namikabi na satana

Chorus
Nandimaki te Shongo oboya nga
nzoto etonda distance na bambanda te
soki lisuma nini eza koyela nga
mayele esili nga mwana mama Shongo
molimo ekimi nga moto
kanisa amour na biso na Anvers

Try and listen to tis on a soround system or verr good headphones - you can hear the individual vocals from individual speakers - done well before soround was invented in a Nairobi studio of a tape machine!

@skaone3 How many ears have you got then?

[skaone3]

@AboubacarSiddikh

when listening to Franco, not enough! I hear something new every time I play one of his songs and I think to my self I have never heard that before - after forty years of listening to his music - that is how good he is.

Can anyone help me in finding lyrics to this song PLEASE!!!

[vis9000]

groot verschil met Utrecht 87, lekker ontspannen gespeeld

Heimwee naar de ook voor mij gouden muzikale tijden

[tbwanat]

Who are on th vocals here, Abou?

[pmbalele]

I cannot understand how these people composed this song. I mean how can three people sing a song with different sections and yet get it perfectly. It's just genius.

[josephinekiwanuka]

This was always a master piece to me I dont know how many times I played it. Thank you for posting it.

So he was a singer not a composer (as to the rant Bwa ha ha ha)
