Long live Franco through your music. I started listening to Franco from early 70s and I haven't stopped. Reminds me of my early childhood in Tudor, Mombasa, Kenya.
In the memory of my late father and my uncle,I grown up with this music all days and nights, even at my late father grave if this music plays his grave may shake
Ok jazz have been my role model in music even though I don't understand french. His music reminds me of my dad and my cousin barrister nick obodo. Ok jazz is his favorite musician. Hopefully one day I will meet u in person. I'm from nigeria.

Thank you brother! These songs were sung by the greatest musician Africa has ever known, his name is Franco Luambo from The Democratic Republic of Congo!
it reminds me of the 80s in Zimbabwe still in the grip of independence euphoria and this song a rendition of it played by a congolese band the Real Sounds was an all time favourite of revellers at a place called Seven Miles Hotel now since turned into a pentecostal church. You should have seen those zimbabwean women shake their curvy hips to rhythm with abandon and gusto and the wiggling their waists with equal measure. Good gone old days.
I can see from most people here that it was our fathers that introduced us to this superb music. I for one indeed it was my father in the days of the gramaphone and he would buy these single 45rpm vinyl congolese records religiously. The likes of Franco, Dr Nico, Tabuley, etc. They had a distinct orange label. Every weekend people would gather at our homestead in the village and revel to the music until the battery of the gramophone wore out. We would put it in the sun to recharge it. Kkkkk. Or the record would wear out so much together with the stylus of the player. We would then put a coin usually a Rhodesian penny and stick with sellotape. Tales indeed good times of yesteryear. RIP Franco and all late contemporaries. Enough respect.
Mes années de débauche et de stupre : la bière, les femmes, les boites de nuit, les surprises parties, la "sappe" . A cette époque, le gabonais était respecté, on ne connaissait ni les braquages, ni tous ces malheurs qui se sont abattus sur ce petit pays.
@@ryan2kboss764 yes,Papa Wemba,great,too！ do u know Papa Wemba made a song about japan? , i looking for this song long time. It means japan people always busy from morning‥‥they are so busy that i worry brothers of japan‥‥‥what name of song?
When it comes to African music, TPOK jazz led by legendery Franco tops my list...Not to underwrite the able troupe that formed constellation of the band, they were the best!!
I was 18 years when Luambo with TP OK Jazz performed in 1973 at Amaan Stadium, Zanzibar the entrance was free for everybody! As usual in Zanzibar cultural wise is oriental but Luambo music was the exception and stadium was at full capacity at 18hrs waiting for mighty TP OK Jazz entertaining congolese music performance! For the first time I witnessed usage of wireless microphone by Franco Luambo himself performing bolero song B.S.K......we saw Sam Mangwana singing out a lot including then new songs the like of 'Djemelasi, monzo, azda..etc'....not to mention the superb stage show by 'Fwala' mesmerising dancers...namely ...Ekshofu, Tumba..etc it was the historical musical event ever! Courtesy of late Zanzibar President then Maalim Aboud Jumbe Mwinyi! RIP dear!

I remember Franco Makuadi came to Dar es Salaam Tanzania in 1972 I was Standard Five we were told that he came with his TPOk Jazz with 12 tons of music equipment and more than 20 musicians in his jazz troupe.
Neither Dalienst nor Madilu sang in Azda, they had not joined OK Jazz band when the song was made. How could you tell a bold face lie like that, do you enjoy misleading your viewers?
Congo just needs to reserve some space for Kenyans in their land. Our love for Congolese Rhumba music is unrivaled even though most of us don't understand the language we understand the music. If you take a walk in clubs across Kenya and homes Rhumba music will be highly represented especially during weekends when people are relaxing and having a good time.
That's true, Everywhere I 've been travelling to Kenya from Kakamega to Mombasa, only DR Congo tunes then I always "OMG, Am I back to Congo m'y country or I still is to Kenya?" From Bukavu DRC❤
Hello, I have recently come back from Kinshasa with 200+ records, which I'm uploading to my YT channel one by one. Lots of rarities and unknown tracks. Hope you like them !
Oh Lord I grew with these song. A south African in Tanzania for school. My Tanzanian friends use to kill these Sokosa!!! I am still good at it after all these years as a grand mother. FRANCO OEEEE.
Incroyable! Il fut une fois un pays qu'on appellait "Le Zaire " avec une Musique incroyable, le foot ball au top, une economie florissante (1 Zaire = $2). AZDA (concessionaire voitures VW partout au Zaire).....Zairois fiers....Un Americain a pu m'identifier comme "citoyen zairois" en plein Market Street de San Francisco du fait que je portais un abacost "Super Wax". Ah! le bon et beau vieux temps!!
Moi ivoirien je ne pleur pas pour se que le Zaire aurais pu faire etc....mais je me rejouis plus tot de se qu'elle a été un pays qui a donné de la joie a toute l'Afrique on etait fiere d'elle meme si on est pas citoyen du pays...Laissons les regrets aux ventre mou de la philosophie quand j'ecoute Franco je suis fiere de savoir que mon pere a fait parti de sa garde rapproché quand il était vénu en concert en cote d'ivoire ::::::!!!!! jusqu'aujourd hui je n'aie pas retrouvé le photos de cet evenement DOMMAGE Cest une facon pour moi de dire qu il faut vivre et partager les instants qui ne reviendrons peut etre plus jamais comme c est le cas actuellement
I was reminiscening today. It took back back when I was very young walking in the neighbourhood with just a underwear.... I must say, I cried a lot.. Thank you papa Franco and TP OK JAZZ. YOU ARE ALL LEAVING LEGENDS... WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOU ALL. Munu mutu, ba Nkaka kiani tandila😭😭

I remember my father playing Franco’s songs all of my childhood every morning when we were taking Breakfast and also when he used to take us to road trips…every time I listen to Franco I just think of those good memories and my father, oh how I miss him dearly every day, Rest In Peace baba I love you forever and thank you so much for leaving behind such great memories 😢❤️❤️❤️
Sorry for ur late. Me too I remember all the road trips amd school drops and every time we got into the Car he would play all these beautiful songs. Im lucky My dad is still alive and whenever I send him all oldies he would be like " Oohh u know all these".... Bless all our dads... Alive or departed... they have put memories in our hearts only we can understand and appreciate. 💝💝💝
Cette merveilleuse musique Congolaise est une référence en Afrique. Je me souviens, dans les années 70, mon Grand frère Philippe avait un transistor Nivico qui captait très bien radio Santa Isabel, la radio de Guinée Espagnole. C' était à Mèmlè, nous allions ensemble à notre pressoir à huile, le coeur léger, l' énergie débordante. Merci Franco, Merci Rochereau, Merci Kabassele , merci Nico, merci Lutumba Simaro, Merci Madilu, merci Malange, merci au Grand Dalienst....Merci à toutes ces mélodies géniales qui ont bercé mon enfance à Yaoundé et à MBEMNDJOCK.

franco is the best
I was in Sierra Leone when Franco and Ok Jazz were at their best. He is a legend.
which part of salone. i was too in Yele
Thx bro
The musics are wonderful. I love them so much. More grease to your elbows. Keep on.
I remember in the 80s listening to Franco in Zimbabwe ...on the radio station...its wonderful music
I liked so much Franco in 1980 he was one of the greatest in our continent.
I remember the song during 80s when I'm 9years old here in Tanzania
These music are wonderful!
I wish that this this Zairian rumba should be played again because it was so sweet and full of art. What we dance today is just a junk no moral etc.
This song ruled the Kenyan airwaves for years,the melody is great and shall continue to be, tomorrow and forever.
was music to my soul, whenever it played on my Dad gramophone- the LP record making a 360 degree turn
Chief Daniel Sylvanus-Omo, likes your music so much, from Bayelsa state, Nigeria.
April 15 2021, listening from Embu, Kenya.

2024 nawakilisha rumba mbaya mbovu. Wakenya mko wapi ? Like as we listen to this amazing music.
I was in Monrovia, Liberia at the time. Congolese rhumba was big there.
public radio in montreal played Franco a lot and had a beautiful memorial show when he died.
I am just in love, sounds like compas and troubadour and the guitars are a delight
Remember my later Dad who used to play this songs on weekends
Thanks Mark Speer from Khruangbin for the recommendation. The influence can be clearly seen. Long live Khruangbin!
