Infidélité (Céli Bitshou) - Franco & L'O.K. Jazz 1969

[@johnbarristerus]

No doubt this is one of the best songs from Africa. I don't understand the language in which it was sung but, as a connoisseur of High-life music, I don't need to understand the language to know that this is a masterpiece. Bravo O.K. Jazz!

As sweet as honey. Reminds me of the epochs of 60s and 70s. Unforgettable memories Radio stations don't play such music again in Nigeria because of the senseless music of this end time generation

cette chanson de Franco. est gravée à jamais dans mon esprit. cette mélodie, cette guitare qui chante, cette infidèlete de la femme chantée par Franco des décennies, rien n'y fait , elle est toujours là . François, paix en ton âge. que la terre te soit légère.

Je pourrais devenir fou. MOn Dieu merci pour nos artistes, Kallé, Franco, Tabu ley et NIco

[@chiawolamokenwankwo3797]

No African music could be melodic. Each time I want to be nostalgic of my childhood in the 1960/70s Franco's music is always a perfect string to pull. Unmatchable.

Hello! this is a translation of this great song. This song is in lingala my native language. It is spoken in DRC and in Congo. Concerning this song it's about a man who's suffering from a love hurt after her wife decide to end their relationship because of his infidelity. So, he's asking to her to forgive him. But, she decide to break. The man say that if the woman he's in love let him down, he will go back to village.

reminds me of my childhood

[@chiawolamokenwankwo3797]

Ok Jazz music can't be bettered by any African music. Everlasting. As sweet as honey. My childhood years come alive listening it.

[@pascal71ful]

hello! O mado o, matema pasi mingi, mwasi ngai nalingi aboya ngai na makasi na ko songa mboka na boyi to kutana mado. yo na mobali na yo bosimbana makasi. o mado o my heart is so painful; If you decide to let me down i'll go back to village. Instead of that, you and i must be hand in hand.

This masterpiece of Maitre Franco starts at 2,20! In Cameroon we name it change of rhythm and'balle à terre' catches the air! Music as it must be! I can still view my parents dancing it! Week-end Bar and Élysée Bar in the City of Douala !
