Oh this is so cool -- check out Shiko Mawatu's guitar playing at 4:40, after I raise the height of the camera -- oh yeah -- it's OK Jazz-style (Franco) playing par excellence!! And then...at 6:50..the famous theme finally kicks in - ahh! "All right sah!!" says Malage. This is the best of 'world' pop music, right here....

Scott, thanks for the greatest videos I have ever seen,u r the man. Very very impressed with the play by play. I have some classic Franco video footage I d like to share

[ScottShuster]

Classic Franco video footage to share?? Make it happen! I'll link it straight into my group and it will get wide viewing. Thanks for the kind words,

Scott

Glad you like it, Rextangle. It's the real thing. This was Malage's first evening in the US...he had just tumbled off the airplane - ! Both vocalists, Malage de Lugendo and Jonal, sang with OK Jazz. Hey everybody if you like this kind of music don't miss the big Kekele tour coming this summer -- visit africambiance.com for details. -- Scott

j'aime beaucoup cette music

[Mastamuju]

Ce qui me degoûte chez ces chanteurs est qu'ils veulent tous être blancs. Ils se dépigmentent tous. Regardez Lokassa, tellement le teint artificiel est dégoûtant. La dépigmentation est une vraie maladie, un esclavage mental que nous africains trainons avec nous. Belle musique quand-même

[TehGav]

Mr. Mawatu, please let Mr. ya Mbongo take a solo.

[BontambaPondi]

Haaa la Vie, peut on recommencer?

[ciroelcompositor]

Love you Shiko Mawatu--Maître Guitar! Franco serait content de t'entendre reprendre cette belle chanson qui me ramène vers mon adolescence!

[pompogna]
