Recorded by Zaïre television in 1975. Featuring singers (l to r): Michel Boybanda, Josky Kiambukuta, Wuta Mayi, Lola Djangi 'Chécain' and - of course - Franco Luambo Makiadi.
You are very right 100 per cent this kind of music may never happen again not in our lifetime. We are forever grateful some of us were there when they were released in the 70’s. We danced to them like crazy.
Ici, tout est divin. Le fond. La forme. L'instrumentation se passe de tout commentaire. Lwambo, oh! Lwambo na biso quelle magnifique maitrise de la guitare! Merci, grand merci TP OK JAZZ. Merci Lwambo. REPOSE EN PAIX ÉTERNELLE, GRAND LWAMBO.

Africa will never ever experience this level of talent, genius and all this quality musicians all in one band as the years of Franco Luanzo Luambo Makiadi And TPOK Jazz from 1956 till the band disbanded 4 years after his demise in 1989 . TPOK Jazz as we had loved it and known it disbanded in 1993.
Lagrimas correm nos meus olhos ouvindo esta música 😭😭. Faz-me recordar de muia coisa do passado e não só, essa música é do tempo da faxa etária do falecido meu pai. A todos que fizeram parte dessa fantástica orquestra que já partiram deste mundo que Deus tenha-os na sua misericórdia, e que as suas almas descansem em paz 🙏🙏. 🇦🇴🇦🇴
Realmente é mesmo musica de verdade. Faz-me recordar de muita coisa do passado. Era muito pequena e já ouvia porque era uma musica que o falecidomeu pai repetia constantemente assim como outras musicas, tocava no gira disco. Bons tempos já lá se foram; o tempo não tem retorno, recordar é mesmo viver. Valeu muito e muito obrigada mesmo pela música👌👌👏. 🇦🇴🇦🇴
One of my favorite Franco TP OK Jazz songs. Can't believe I'm watching a live performance. Thank you for posting. And thank you Franco for your musical genius! I was born a decade too late to see these legends in concert.
Checain Lola, Wuta Mayi, Josky Kiambukuta and Michel Boyibanda and the main wizard Franco Luambo Luanzo Makiadi you are real and genuine legends. Bravo. Natural and good.
Gentle and musical with the boisterous Boyibanda, smiling Josky, business-like Wutamayi and humble Checain. Franco the legendary witch on the guitar informing the world that music is medicinal to the hurting soul.
... we are of the same opinion... concluded from start, he is a good dancer... they all can move, just that the others are just not as expressive as he is.
The level of preparedness for the performance of this song is obvious. The Crue is seriously taking their parts with lots of enjoyment. Look at how Luambo is happy- to-perform- from his inner heart!!! The vocals, sax, drums, name it, are wild with excitement. This is music!!. Of the vocals, it's only Wuta Mayo who is alife. Dr. Ogeto International
Michael Boybanda is very alive and Wuta Mayi ..and we cannot rule out that everyone in this performance is dead because we only know of the frontline guys like guitarists and vocalists, i am sure that you and me dont know if all the saxophonists and the trumpetists are dead. Long life TPOK, DEAD OR ALIVE!
On the vocals from left; Michael Boyibanda, Josky Kiambukta, Wuta Mayi and Lola checain. Luambo enjoying himself on the solo in the background. It never gets better than this, 48 years later.
This was the time Congolese music ruled African airwaves. A wonderful childhood it was for me to always stand in front of record store or radio while listening to Congo music. RIP Franco.
Nostalgic! Nostalgie! Nostalgie! Oh time! Oh death! What happens in this life? Indeed life is numbered! Is it just me who never gets enough of this song!? My oh my!!! Luambo's mastery of the guitar will forever be unmatched!😳😳😳 Eeeeeeeeiiiish Eeeeeeeeiiiish!!👌🙌🙌👏👏🤔🤔😅
As of December 2021, Michel Boyibanda and Wuta mayi are the surviving vocalists , and may be of all who did this song. Legends live on dead or alive, and the libving live to die. Bravo!!

Whatching from Kisumu Kenya.. these songs take me to a world I don't know and brings me back TPOK jazz was a great band I don't even know which of it's s song is my best because I love them all.. Even if you are resting your songs live with us My sons love your songs as if they saw you perform Your demise broke my heart into pieces the recent being of Josky Kiambukuta
When there was no "DJ please play for me track number 2" and all the musician does is lip synch and shout out a word here and there. This was real performance.
Amazing! This is a wild TPOK Jazz! who is it who saw TPOK in later years, can imagine Lola Checain shaking every limb!? Even young tall Josky is bending double and performing pirouettes! So far I remember only Michel Boyibanda would remain a bastion of jerky movements as they aged! --wonderful nostalgic shots in this video!
"Likambo ya bana na bana, bamama baswani" suelle sagesse! Mais, mon Dieu, qu'est-ce que Ipupa nous sert aujourd'hui ? De la bassesse, un vide pour remplir un vide! Ah, mon Dieu, pourquoi?
2024 who is here❤❤❤❤❤❤
Until eternity. We wont stop listening
Never
When I listen to these old, soul touching songs, I normally crying, remembering that those days won't come again.
Am still here 2024.
Luambo Oh!, You're nolonger there physically but you're alive. Rest in Peace , oh Luambo
This won't happen again in Africa until jesus return, the vocals, instruments and the arrangement is just out of this world.❤️❤️❤️❤️
When Jesus returns,we will go to Heaven where there will be no music of Franko

I listen to Franco's songs in the morning, afternoon, evening... the songs heal my soul and thus I am never lonely.

Luambo had mastered how string that guitar to an extent that it looked easy to play it.
Bravo our brothers from Congo, colonialism should learn that Africa is one country HQ Nairobi or Kinshasa
Big man late franco was possessed with a guitar and the vocalist are superb,,the instruments are well coordinated
Whatching from Kisumu Kenya.. these songs take me to a world I don't know and brings me back
TPOK jazz was a great band I don't even know which of it's s song is my best because I love them all..

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Am short of words! Superb!
NOW HERE IS THE POWERFUL VOCAL LINE-UP OF T.P.O.K JAZZ - Michel Boyibanda, Lola Chacain, Josky Kiambukuta and Wuta Mayi.
Powerful vocal lineup.
Classical.
Great Harmony
At the time Sam Mangwana, and Youlou Mabiala were also part of the group. Not sure of Pepe Ndombé
Amazing! This is a wild TPOK Jazz! who is it who saw TPOK in later years, can imagine Lola Checain shaking every limb!? Even young tall Josky is bending double and performing pirouettes! So far I remember only Michel Boyibanda would remain a bastion of jerky movements as they aged! --wonderful nostalgic shots in this video!

The greatness is without comparison.
Still the greatest
Still the greatest
There was no coronavirus these days when life was just simple and trust was a norm and a convention.
Mais ici il y en que les Anglophones? Soki oza muana mboka touche mon commentaire.
Surely, he lives among us.
Nostalgic rumba from the real owners.
TP OK JAZZ is still alive. It's over 40years now when this was done.
Boyibanda,Josky,Chacain,Wuta Mayi
wuta mayi and Boyibanda..eeeeeeiiish
A l'attaque chant nous avons :Uta Mai,Kyambukuta Josky, Boyibanda Michel et Lola shekin paix à ton âme
Will these Franco music ever die? Seems eternal. The music is ever green
Michel Boyibanda and his unique dance steps are quite entertaining.
Boyibanda, just shaking a leg, or hand, or whole body was just entertaining
very young, innocent but with powerful voice then.....where is tp ok now
Based on the San Salvador song "Tuwayilanga Kimpwanza" on the Ngoma label. Franco knew about music.
Legend listeners only
That is wonderful.kindly play isebe life with Youlou Mabiala
Whata bombshell !!
Nostalgic performance and sounds of the great! Life without Covid-19 and other now prevalent calamities.
The music arrangement and instruments coordination is superb. These guys killed it in music composition and performances.
Wuta Mayi and Checain looked quite innocent
❤For sure
"Likambo ya bana na bana, bamama baswani" suelle sagesse! Mais, mon Dieu, qu'est-ce que Ipupa nous sert aujourd'hui ? De la bassesse, un vide pour remplir un vide! Ah, mon Dieu, pourquoi?
