Franco lui-même chante dans cette chanson...

[AboubacarSiddikh]

Non, monsieur, vous etes 100% wrong. Franco ne chante pas ici, je suis completement sure de ça.

[AboubacarSiddikh]

I put up the whole original lp on which this was originally released, check it out, nobody seems to notice some of the best songs on it! If you like this, you'll certainly like Monzo, Lukika and Mélé, posted a little earlier.

I know what you mean, this song just blows my mind, and monzo too, i wake up to that song every day! to think such songs goes unappreciated even by franco fans seems a travesty!

[AboubacarSiddikh]

Actually, I was referring to the Kikongo songs at the end of the LP, but they have caught up a bit since then.

However, Mabele (Ntotu) is still relatively unnoticed, especially the second part, although this song was horrifyingly mutilated for the cd release.

I used a single for source material which has the complete song and also in much better sound quality than the cd.

Posthumously Franco is awarded PhD. here. Yes he deserves it.

[Ndjoli Manuella]

Vous avez raison. Vivement je souhaite le retour à l'ancienne musique

[tomaluta]

kitoko trop

[Odhiambo O.]

Aboubacar Siddikh - You do more justice to Franco's music in this gone era more than anybody i know! It is refreshing to know the names of the real people behind these angelic melodies. What you are doing is labour of love. I love your work eternally.
