Lisolo Ya Adamo Na Nzambe (Ntesa Dalienst) - Franco & le T.P. O.K. Jazz 1977

Ntesa Dalienst sings his composition with his favourite backup singer Wuta Mayi and Lola Chécain. Franco completely improvised his vocal solo.

With Ntoya, Dessoin, Decca, Gégé Mangaya, Gerry Dialungana and horn arrangements by Dele Pedro, possibly as in the picture: Pedro and Rondot alto and Isaac Musekiwa and Matalanza on tenor. But I can't be sure there.

Compare this song to Mabe Yo Mabe:

@MsJosemayo Malheureusement je ne peux pas m'exprimer en Français aussi bien que en Anglais. Et il y a beaucoup des non-Congolais qui aiment la musique de Franco. Ce sont seulement les Congolais qui ont le droit d'avoir un opinion sur cette musique?

Luambo did a lot of improvisation in his career, the most known is with Rochereau and Michelino Visi. However Luambo Franco was not an improvised singer as many may believe. In fact according to 'Dewayon' the person who taught franco how to play the guitar, he started as a singer with an empty can filled with stone making sound in his group. Luambo Franco would be 15 or 17 years old, before OK Jazz.

Most known to you perhaps. Franco never played the same song exactly the same way twice. And as a singer/talker... do you think he wrote out his words in Mario before he recorded them? I don't think so. When Franco made his first records with OK Jazz, he was not yet 18. When he made his first records with DeWayon, that was three years earlier.

How much proof do you need? The composer, Dalienst said it right after the song in the clip.

There were just too many golden voices in OK Jazz. Difficult to give preference to one voice at any one time. Though I still think Franco's voice wasn't the greatest.

Ah na leli! Ba fo chanteurs ya mikolo oyo ba zuaka ata tangu yako yoka ba nzembo ya kala epesa bango toli pe inspiration. Bravo Luambo!

Until you listen and watch Franco's videos and CD's you will never understand what an unbelievable talent he was. Listen to a song like Mado for instance and just remove his guiter and you have an ordinary song. Put that guiter back and you have an awesome song. But, if you listen to it carefully he improvised as he went along. This was what he was when he had a song he became part of it and that is what made him a genius. Listen how he just follows every chorus with a sublime riff and the ease

[Contextcatcher]

A sad thing to know that the recording hadn't the perfection as it could be....But the brillance of Franco and T.P.O. K. Jazz is blowing my modern grumbling away!

Again another favourite of mine. This song has a kind of melancholic feeling...one word I understand: "hypokrite"....

[zebirazatatatou]

oh Grand Maitre Luambo. tout simplement extraordinnaire...

comme l'a chante alpha blondy "why should black(african) heroes die so soon?"

[tomaluta]
