Cedou - 2 versions (Lutumba Simaro) - Franco & le T.P. O.K. Jazz 1973

Vocals: Franco, Sam Mangwana, Michèl Boyibanda, Lola Chécain with Franco and Boyibanda alternating solos. Sam and Lola are restricted to (magnificent) chorus duties. From 1:52 Franco joins the chorus in Boyibanda's place, who takes the first solo. Every time the next soloist drops out of the chorus.
Near the end of the first version (which I think was the second chronologically), Lola also plays some wooden percussion. That version can be downloaded here: wrldsrv.blogspo... .
After the song, Sam Mangwana talks about when & why Franco got him to join O.K. Jazz (recorded 30-3-1997 in Amsterdam).

La jeunesse de cette fresque sur chant demeure belle. L'hymne à la vie dans cette partition est une leçon. Tout y passe. Avant la finitude...ce que nous vivons nous est offert, avec à la clef l'intratitude du corps... Bravo❤❤❤😅❤❤❤❤

Toute une fresque sociale mise musique...en sus, que de leçons d'école de la vie. Et cette ingratitude mise en exergue du corps humain que l'on a paré du temps de sa jeunesse de toute les parures et linges de valeur...le voici tordu tel un tire-bouchon au 3ème et 4ème âges. J'aime.
