Télé Zaïre 1975 - Franco & le T.P. O.K. Jazz

[@paulharrison8163]

my father came to Congo during the 1980s and good stories he told me about congo and franco made me fall in love with the country and the music. I hope one day i will visit congo and see things for myself. I am a young man from Nigeria and I love Rhumba especially franco ok jazz music. my father is 93years today and always sheds tear whenever i play this music for him and want to dance but his legs are frail and weak he cant dance . I pray God continue to keep him for me.

[@lazarusmusau1638]

Good vocals,this song reminds me of My Dad after ametoka safari ziara ya kazi,with his Peugeot at 4pm you could hear a horn at the gate,this times we wa bringing cattles back at the Boma,he assist me to bring them at the den,after that he could call my Mom ,Assist this boy with some food and immediately join him at the house,while there now it was Rhumba time as he narrates to me how job it was and to me I could narrate to him how we are doing at school and how we are disciplined and respectful to Mom,now Tpok jazz was doing us fine then he could ask me to go to the fridge and bring him two Redds which of today I don't think they are in the market.he life was good

[@saintbervon]
