[@peterzulu5965]

He was a great musician full of comedy in his songs. It was great combination when Madilu joined the band. Rest in peac heroes.

Merci. Ton père, surnommé 'Dupool', était avec l'orchestre quand? J'ai écouté qu'il venait de Brazza et qu'il était avec Les Bantous. C'est vrai?

[@alisabatia8612]

This song was quite popular in the early 1980s especially in funerals at night. In our innocence, we longed funerals, so that we could dance. Crazy.

[@susanmuthoni1167]

Disco matanga

[@alisabatiaali474]

Franco you are musically a sorcerer. The best witch that has ever lived in the World of music. A masterpiece touching on a tough theme; conflicts between men and women. What a commitment to entertain!

[@alisabatia8612]

Sawa tu.

[@peterkiprono5957]

Absolutely

[@ruthombuki2038]

The differences between husband and wife will never end in this world, RIP legend

[@darlingtonsakwa8793]

this is wrong interpretation The song is about issues between men and women never ending. We, feed them, buy them clothes etc. while for us we have one trouser in a whole life for a whole year.....

[@nickcoza]

@@darlingtonsakwa8793 True, they are not saying that men are "different" from women. The song talks about "matata" meaning here "conflict" in a couple between husband and wife. It has nothing to do with "differences" per se between men and women. It is basically saying that there will always be conflicts in a relationship.

[@javierevesogoengo5270]

I am fan of franco since I was 13 years old until now... Is a Great music... Franco for ever!

[@francismuiruri9064]

The greatest.

[@inocenciapalmer6122]

I am sorry ,Franco was the best of all them. God give you and others rest in peace

[@pm6761]

Best in what? We had many of them among them Franco had his speciality as well as: Bavon Mari Mari, Grand Kale, Niko Kasanda with a special guitar sound and rythm.

[@masikasimiyu]

True he was among the best rhumba musicians..... But certainly, the best ever, leader and organizer of a rhumba band.

Hard to imagine this music is as old as i but I enjoy it thoroughly....True Genius

[@RobinIngenthron]

Franco (guitarist/leader) "shifting gears" at 1:30 marks Congolese Soukous position as the best in Africa. Makossa, HighLife, everything else, every nation claimed to be second best.

[@mokambedialeandisonmase9064]

FRANCO WAS MYSTERIOUS. VERY MYSTERIOUS. HE WAS THE BEST.

[@dominicmatoni1061]

I am astonished to see that I am not the only one in 2021 watching Lwambo, and Josky passed on yesterday. Thanks bro

[@elemiang4001]

I don’t understand the language I just know that I love it... I grew up listening to Congolese music all my life, my grand parents listened him, my parents and now me. My grandma always says “your grandad used to be a huge fan of Franco” she tells me a lot of stories, my mum too! ... my mum told me that her dad used to play Franco’s music and he used to ask her to dance with him, as she was small, she used to step on his feet and they danced together ♥️..., I just love this song and all his music ♥️♥️♥️ They all sound as one voice! The the fusion of the band is majestic. A MASTERPIECE 🙏🏾 God bless him, Godbless RDC 🇨🇩 and the whole African continent. 🙌🏾🙏🏾♥️🔥

Sadly, Franco passed away in 1989 aged 51 years only.

Congo should be far they had the best musicians as early as the 60s, and my generation still rocking it and all minerals in the world to make them rich whats happening
