Abou:

Who is doing the solo guitar here? I believe it is Michelino. If so, I think 1:57-2:25 is probably his best moment with TPOK Jazz.

@souverain1er In your dreams!! Who do you think Ndombe is calling "champion" here? It's true, Michelino plays this part in the video, but here it's Franco. Michelino is very deep in the mix here. In this period, Franco was still searching for his new role in a three guitar setting. On several other songs from the 1975 video, the roles are reversed between Michelino and Franco. The worst example of this is Basalela in which Franco is majestic in the live video and very disappointing on record.

@orangekush3 teheheeee j'aime tes derneiers remarques. Mais je n'ai pas compris ton Lingala. Je suis kenyan qui ne comprends que Swahili, l'anglais, Luo et Francais.... But deux et douze sounds similar when 4llowd by a word tht bgins in a vowel ex enfants. douze enfants or deux enfants.....

@tbwanat 12 sounds about right, na basi mosusu, ...nani ayebi ya solo? he was a womanizer towards the end of his life anyways.

[orangekush3]

@tbwanat je pense que vous avez raison, 12 sounds just about right. perhaps he had more, na basi mosusu...nani ayebi ya solo?

[tbwanat]

@orangekush3 @douallaetingue le Maitre avait deux enfants? Je pensai qu'ils étaient douze. Je sais pas alors.

Franco was the godfather of African music, in fact a music doctor.

Ouch!

In Bisalela, I think Franco is great, but as soon as Lutumba's rhythm guitar starts, my ears just gravitate to it.
