Forget the Grammy Awards and western accolades. No big African star has ever been truly acknowledged globally. Africa should honour Franco, TP OK Jazz, Tabu Ley et al. We also have an obligation to disseminate their works across the continent as part of an African Renaissance and demonstration of Africa’s pioneering cultural influences 👊🏾🇿🇼🇿🇼🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩
We love his music even here at home in Zimbabwe
No validation from the West needed as long we continue to acknowledge our artists ourselves
I couldn't agree more
you left me speechless.
Couldn't put it any better 💯
I love my dad for introducing me to this kind of songs early...
One would never have thought a millennial would enjoy such but I do! And that's thanks to my grandpa and dad.
True
Makes the two of us,thank you Dad❤
Today is my birthday, and I am up listening to this song. if I ever meet Franco in the after life, I will legit thank him for making me happy in ways I can never articulate. I am grateful.
Ever since their row in 1978, Franco and Tabu Ley had grown closer. They remained spirited competitors, but a cordial personal relationship appeared to take root between the two great stars. Near the end of 1982 they were jointly honored by a Senegalese producer based in Abidjan, Daniel Cuxac, and New York record dealer Roger Francis, two men who often collaborated in the production and distribution of African records. They presented each of the two stars with a gold record for accumulated sales over the course of their careers. The ceremony, carried on Zaïrean television, was followed by an audience for the two musicians with President Mobutu.
Ley and Franco shocked their fans the following year, by embarking on a joint recording project. That they had decided to record together was astonishing, but the recording itself, the initial release on Franco's new Choc (shock) label, provoked more comment and speculation. Entitled Choc Choc Choc 1983, the two-record album was recorded with a mixture of musicians from Afrisa and O.K. Jazz along with guest artist ' Michelino' Mavatiku Visi, who had done time in both bands back in the seventies. It contained one song per side, 'Lettre à Mr. le Directeur Général' and three others, all written by Franco.
Thank you for this information. Choc Choc Choc was a masterpiece.
Justus Kiunga; Thank you for sharing this vital information about these African Greats. May God Rest their Souls and those of all our compatriots In Eternal Peace,
Could you please, translate it into English?
@@suleimanjabir827 I have done translation on my TH-cam channel
Wow!!!
All the way from Tanzania........!No one can do like these two legends
I am in agreement with you my brother this was a huge collaboration. From Kenya, T/Taveta.
Mbaraka Mwinshhe was good too
This is a golden combination. Rest in peace and power Luambo and Ley. You two are giants of Africa. Long will live their names into the future of futures. I thank my father M. M. M. Makokha for introducing me to this kind of music in the eighties by playing it incessantly. #Kenya.
The shortest 15 minutes song...Legendary...
Quand j'écoute cette chanson, j'ai les larmes aux yeux parce que je me rappelle de vous mes deux héros de la rumba congolaise. Puisse Dieu vous accueil dans son royaume et que la terre de nos ancêtres vous soit douce et légère Papa Franco et Tabu
This is is what we call real music. Unlike today's noises and uncultured "music"
Wakongwe wa muziki nakumbuka miaka ya nyuma Mungu awalaze mahali pema Rip Godwin kayange
Ageless music..the more time passes the more the music gets sweet...long live rhumba.
This collabo was one of the best in history of rhumba...More love from Kenya
Much love for u Kenya people for supporting Congo music, I know you're really funs of Congolese rhumba
Never listened to a song such skillfully composed.
When listening this music i think to my late father who was a great fan of those two great Masters of african music, their talent was genuine, africans are very proud of you, you'll never be forgotten.
💃🏾👌🏾
Tabuley Seigneur Rochereaur Forever!!!!!
Whenever I hear this music I want listen to it again and again. Rhumba music you ahead of the rest!
Rest in peace the two African great musicians.
It was real music we can't replace or compare to date.
Ce.son.m.avais.bercer.merci
The beats!!! Aaiiiih! Yawa! So sweet. It sweeps me off my feets
I am remembered Luambo Luanzo Makiadi & TP OK JAZZ .I am remembered TABU LEY & AFRISA INTERNATIONAL he's the Best Music bana ba Congolese Lisanga Banganga !!
Rumba authentique, ça m'emporte à tout jamais cette musique
Souvenir de mon pauvre père mbya lumembu.
Sweet music that soothes the heart and soul.Big tune indeed.
Vocals with "authority"....G.G. Ondu, Long Live my Dad for making me a fan of Franco since childhood...passing it on to your grandchildren successfully
It's still mind-blowing to me that these two collaborated. I just stumbled on LYB album and it's incredible.
En lisant vos commentaires, personne ne fait allusion a l'homme qui a déboursé de ces poches, pour que cette réconciliation soie faite et ce lui qui a payé les studios d'enregistrement de cette album.Et ce Mr s'appelle Tshika -Tshika Lusangi Fataki paix a son âme
Who else is here 2023❤ Franco and tabu ley never forget
Me in 2024
This song , reminds me when I was on my attachment, along ngong'road , my Boss used to play it every morning,as we start our morning breakfast show
You've painted a picture for me man
Was this in DRC? Kenya?
Song is 15minutes long and still too short! Legendary!
I had friends from Kenya 2 of them😢passed away..we will go clubbing drink the whole nite..this was their type..back home..like sun through the hour glass...so are the days of our lives..miss them🙄
This takes me back to the year I spent in Kinshasa. It brings back memories of when I hung out in the cite having a good time with local friends at any time of the day or night!
One of my favourites to date
These are royalties for all the Bantus.
À vous les congolais, ces deux seigneurs ne sont pas les vôtres, ils appartiennent à tout le peuple Bantu. La différence est que le destin a seulement voulu qu'il naissent au Zaïre.
La preuve est qu'il n'y a pas un seul Bantu qui n'aime pas ces musiques. Donc, c'est pas une histoire de langue, mais de liens de sang que nous partageons tous.
Vive le peuple Bantu, le peuple choisi par Yahwéh 🇨🇩🇨🇲🇦🇴🇨🇬🇬🇦
Vous avez parfaitement raison, Yosef. Je dis la même chose des monstres tels qu'Eboa Lotin, Francis Bebey, Oliver M'tukudzi et bien d'autres qui nous ont précédé. Dieu merci, Richard Bona, Lokua Kanza sont encore avec nous. Daignet-il leur accorder longue vie.

Two great singers.
They really performed.
Great memories.

That chorus line is so magnetic.... its being playing all day long in my head
i can hear Josky Kiambukuta in the chorus vocals
l'organisation musicale de ce disque est tellement profonde .. ... C 'est à peine croyable .. c'est la sorcellerie .....
Tu as raison frère les 2 grands sorciers de la musique Congolaise et africaine de tous le temps Fanco et Pascal seigneur ley
Cette chanson ne pas de mon époque.mais, plutôt celle de ma maman.donc,quand je l'écoute,le son est vraiment combiné de manière agréable à l'oreille comme la musique l'indique dans sa vraie définition.
Here in 2018💝
Am not even 20 years but these songs touch me on a different level 💝💝
Nice songs,...I like it too
Abwo abwo....great
Reminds me of my days at the NYS in Lomut,West Pokot,Kenya..we would play this particular song while camping in Kapenguria for the trade Fair and syke up for escapades within the town..them days.
Reuben Okinyi ,,,,gilgil nayo
i dont know what will stop me from listening to this song
Julius K Tanui Gilgil hehehe Mt.Kioko na morning bx kwa sana
HEZRON KANGEREP this song is quite addictive,the flow of the instruments and the vocals are just out of this world...
My brother
La richesse culturelle de notre pays "Congo eloko ya makasi"
This was the album's set piece. It purported to attack the bureaucrats who ran Kinshasa's fading companies, but it wasn't much of a stretch to think that the Zaïrean regime itself was the real target. The song's refrain sums up its message: 'You have always been good, D.G/ It's (your) entourage that does harm, why?' It was the kind of critique that could be heard on the streets of Kinshasa as recently as the early nineties. The president is good but the ministers have destroyed the country.
The two maestros take turns airing the dirty linen. Ley observes:
A lot of people let their Bics drop
Everyone's become a businessman
Markets in the city have become congested, why is this?
Franco lodges a more personal complaint:
The entourage has compromised my work
They've told the D.G. that I make fun of Him in private circles, why is this?
Very true, after Mobutu elected to appoint incompetent and corrupt ministers to top positions. Franco criticizes for working for their own benefit instead of the people.
Thanks Lwambo and Tabu Ley, you were so courageous enough to stick your necks on line when things were bad. Only few people can talk of bad governance up to date.
The only minor mistake many do when talking about bad governance is not saying the root cause. The root cause of the bad governance is the Leadership coz if the Leadership is good then it should punish all wrong does regardless their tribes and friendship. May your souls rest in peace. At least you talked rather than being a sycophant.
True Amollo. Everything rises and falls on leadership
Good powerful music woth listening to.
Un duo inoubliable. Un souvenir de deux monuments de la musique africaine. Merci de nous avoir égayé.
Georges Yao Un trio accompagne de Josky Kiambukuta.
I really love this song, it reminds me my evening out on my weeding day, these were really gentlemen
Des bons souvenirs vraiment
Lwambo always has a story line so compelling. Even when you miss the story in the ballads, you still grasp the melody which carries a message. I am listening from Gulu in northern Uganda.
The message is for another day. Just enchanted. Wuuw. Lol

In early eighties my father and his Friend Evans would meet at our home listening to this songs. I would hear them singing along dancing rochero and franco Luambo Luanze Makiadi in Kolongolo matisi trans nzoia county
Nostalgic
We really miss the two sons of Africa. Real music.
Rest in peace.
Anytime I listen to the duo I palpitate with excitement.

I don't understand the language but the song flows
It talks about Director General (DG)who misuses his powers,this song was composed to criticize mobutu administration,"the song says mr DG you are just like any other person “
@@midiangaj2369 thank you
My dad would come home on Friday evenings with him a bag full of PEPSI sodas my favorite brand was ''BABITO'' then he would play this song on his LP player all night long sipping his tursker till morning. oooh childhood memories
Edwin that's Memory
There somethings we just can't talk about ........
The memories will leave for ever in your life, great music
I'm not bored with this type of music, in fact it reliefs me from some pressure
Celui qui dit que qui écoute cette chanson en 2020 il a un problème.Tout le monde l'écoute sauf toi.
Still listening in 2024 and more yrs to come💪
The best collabo between Grand Maître Makiadi and Seigneur Let 🔥🔥
Légendaire combination of giants of African music. Merci mingi ndeko bakulutu keep resting in peace.much love from zambia
And Monsieur Directeur Generale jailed these guys for calling out nepotism in his government.
It reminds me of those days of KBC radio chaguo lako program by Eddie Fondo.
I remember those days Rip godwin kayange Lusaka Zambia Tz mbozi
Authentic Congolese Rhumba...never gets old
No...no.no..they ddn't die ... listen carefully those are live voices...RIP ..Busia🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
Franco, Tabley ,S.Mangwana Theo Blaise Kounkou are my best MUSCIANS
Franco & TP OK Jazz were in a class of their own. Tabu Ley and his Afrisa international were a distant second the rest are not worth mentioning in the same sentence with the legendary TP OK JAZZ
I concur with you.
I concur with you.
I like @6.33 when the guitars and Drums sound like they are taking a break from an aggressive journey and resuming with humble start again. Afterwards @9.42 Tabuley's voice sounds like he is telling the guitarists 'we are about to end it guys'. Man! the instruments in this song were organized by wizards of Rhumba!
I really miss my Aunt n Uncle Rip Janet & Tom
Can't get enough of this yawa.
This music will leave for ever , generation to generation will still enjoy it
Está música é a melhor em toda Africa
Merci beaucoup pour la bonne musique, bravo,je pense à ma défunte maman.
