Besides the boldness, what a song this was. The vocals by The Master. The guitar! Listen to that intro man.
Franco's guitar resembles The Kyrie Eleison. This was 1961, the year Emery was murdered. Franco says in the song his crime was that he wanted national unity.

Liwa Ya Emery. This was so bold of Franco; given the circumstances that Lumumba died in and how young he was at the time. I read that he was the only one bold enough at the time to speak out about the death of Lumumba at the time.

Almost similar to Ngai Tembe Eleka and the melody of Orchestra Baobab's Utrus Horas.

The older I get, the more I feel disconnected from football. I used to watch every EPL game, adulting is something else man🙆♂️. Now I check final results and move on.

This photo was taken without L'OK Jazz, the rest of the gentlemen in the picture were students- some later becoming ministers in Zaire.
Luambo Makiadi, Franco.

Day 3 of pestering @munene_braxton until he posts the final public appearance of Le Grand Maitre at de MelkWeg.
Closure is needed.

Buana we need closure. We don't mind our hearts being broken.

If anyone ever tells you anapenda rumba alafu akuweke 60s Franco, heshimu huyo mtu. That is the definition of rumba.
Mobali Na Ngai Ezali Etudiant na Mpoto. Franco making the guitar speak again. One thing I like about 60s Franco, it is very easy to track his guitar. I like his vocals here.
Listen to the intro and sebene!
The sax guys>>

Tell him to come back
The money he left is finished
I finished it buying the kids' medicine
Where will I get more money?
To run the house and feed the kids?

Bolobela na ye azonga
Mbongo atikelaki ngai esili
Esili na bakisi ya bana
Epayi nini na kozua mbongo
Mpo nasalisa bana na ndako
