Thank you thank you thank you... asante sana!... webale nnyo!.. malesi mingi! This was the first song I heard when I hit Africa in 1985... It was on a juke box in a beer shack on the edge of Nairobi dancing with a bunch of Ugandan refugees... we danced to it maybe 30 times that night... 'Ani alina shilingi?' 'Who's got a shilling?' .. all night... sucking njaga... sinking omwenge... Finally met Le Grand Maitre 3 years later in Kinshasa. ... Ezali solo ya... sikulimba banange :-)

Oh Mario Luka ata Mwasi yo moko obala, Mario mosala kolinga ba mamans mobokoli. Basuka yo te? Lelo Makambo lobi makambo nalembi. Lelo bitumba lobi koswana nabaye. Naboyi kobebisa nzoto na manzaka nalembi eh....

Personne n'etait plu grande que Franco!

Yeah, when I arrived in Libreville it was blaring from every boite, and it'a been part of me ever since.

Thank You.

Si on divise Franco par 3 on obtient Koffi, JB Mpiana et Roga Roga

Un grand classique. Merci d'avoir posté cette version complète. Il me restait juste une cassette pirate de cette chanson achetée à Pointe Noire en 1985 et elle commence à vieillir.
