  • After the song 18:30 three interview clips with Ntesa Dalienst, recorded 15-10-1990 in Brussels. Three, because this particular song came back into the discussion three times that day (during an interview that lasted over five hours, that is).

    One day, we should all gather together and say thank you to the people of Congo. They have shared such a precious gift; timeless music. Love and light from us here in Zimbabwe 🇿🇼

      I grew up with Congolese music. My dad loved it to the core. He was a tailor contracted to do school uniforms, so he would work through the night. From the age of 10 I would spin these records for him after the only Radio Uganda station shut for the day! Then he would tune radio Bukavu or others on medium wave and listen till day break.

      My father loved Franco, had so many of his records. In my youth I preferred other Congolese beats. I went to Kenya. Kenyans especially from Luo land loved, actually adored Franco's music. At that time I was more interested in the faster dance Congolese beats. Now I can't stop listening to Franco. Especially Franco and Tabuley.

    This album - Frein A Main, 5 Ans Ya Fabrice and Non is Francos pure magic at play with auto-reverse cassette . A long drive from the village demands a one stop over to release oneself ( short call) , then take the steering or else the sweetness goes - Luambo still speaketh.

    I can remember the very first time I heard African music on the radio in NYC. It was in the late 1970's for 2 hours every Thursday night on WKCR-FM, the Columbia University radio station. At the time it was the only African music program on the air and the first time I heard the music I was hooked. I could hear the great Franco RIP, Madilu RIP and all the other great artists that come from the mother country. Really great stuff

    Musically this is perhaps the most beautiful composition of his career. One can quarrel with its protracted lenght, and certainly with the subject matter, but the music itself floats a lovely, lazy Rhumba full of subtle twists and turns. Building on a simple guitar riff that encompasses just eleven notes. Franco arranges the supporting cast - a delicate saxophone chorus, his own authoritative bark, and the lyrical tenor of Madilu Bialu - to near perfection. The words of Lingala tumble in graceful symphony, and when Franco and Madilu join their voices in melodious call and response progression - the effect is positively thrilling. Franco never studied music I wonder how he got this right.

    Hi, With all due respect to Madilu (R.I.P.) with his impeccable track record (no pun intented) , I can't immortalize him in the same way as Luambo Makiambi aka Franco. Believe me, if Franco lived even a 5 years more, he would have still been the MAIN influence for Africa composers. This story-tellying, political satire, commentary, combined with good, actually excellent backing music is RARE! Even in other genres/cultures.
