Rest in Peace Mayaula. You sure left a mark in this world. I'm so saddened yet at peace that I was actually googling and listening to your songs when I learnt of your death in Belgium. Your spirit as captured in your songs will live with us forever. MAYAOULA MAYONI it was a journey you travelled well, just as you promised in your song "Voyage Na Bandudu" . Thank God for lending us you. So long ma men

@shondeshonde Voyage Na Bandundu was composed by Ndombe Opetum and not by Mayaula Mayoni.

A very moving eulogy., shondeshonde. You definitely loved the man by way of his music.

A powerful voice that will live on forever.Mayaula Mayoni's music was in a unique class of its own.With a voice backed by instruments played together only with the arrangement of a genius,this music will never go away no matter how many times it is played.

What else are we left with......all the geniuses are leaving us one by one. It hurts when you listen to this piece. Tears of admiration and awesomeness yet sadness flow uncontrollably. Indeed when the center can not hold, things fall apart , said novelist Chinua Achebe of Nigeria. Survivors of TPOK JAZZ must be suffering from within since Franco's departure. I am 47 with College education. This is the one music that I can only listen to.

RIP Mayaula.

Rest in Eternal Peace Mayaula Mayoni. Your music is always great to listen to. Mayaula Mayoni, I found a lot of solace in your music especially during my early years of settling in Europe. Thank you.
