Kamikaze (Youlou Mabiala) - Franco & le T.P. O.K. Jazz Télé Zaire 1975

At a later date, I will post the whole gig converted from tape but of a much lesser quality. This selection is incomplete. This was the 10th tune (of 15) played in this two hour broadcast.

Vocals: Michèl Boyibanda, Wuta Mayi, Ndombe Opetum, Youlou Mabiala.

Part of the pictures in this clip have been "transplanted" to another part, where the original picture quality was pretty horrible.

@nyatete1951 So you thought: I never read the uploader's comment and neither does anyone else, mh?

[SuperErnest1953]

The summary: Kamikaze was a girlfriend of Youlou Mabiala (autor of song) but her parents married her to another man. Youlou Mabiala was appalled but kept her photo and told her two things: first, he never to get married to somebody; second, if he will have sun or daughter with her husband, to give him or her the Mabiala's name. The master Franco was accompagned by Lutumba Simaro and Mavatiku Visi. Unfortunally, Mabiala is now very sick in France and we miss his golden voice. God bless him.
