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

Two takes of the same song. Composed by bass player Céli Bitshou. Sung by Franco, Youlou and Boyibanda. With Simaro, Dessoin, Ntoya. This is the "crazy" version, the lesser known one. I am not a specialist in this field, but could it be Francois does this crazy stuff with the tremolo of his guitar, possibly a Fender Jaguar as seen in the latter part of this clip?

[@rapffrakma366]

Around this period I was one year old. Needless to say that I've been enjoying this composition through my teen years and beyond; every time extremely entertaining...

[@michaelmuge3554]

Good composition. My favorite.

Nilikuwa na miaka tisa mwaka huo, ukitumwa dukani unasikia nyimbo hizi kwenye redio za majirani. Jamani yaani ingewezekana dunia ikajirewind na tukaendelea kusikia nyimbo hizi kila siku.05.05.19.

[@nderema]

This is stuff that makes everyone including 20 year olds want to own this period. And they talk about 'wakati wetu'.TPOK is King. Note my tense

@ stevekaputa... sorry dude, Dalienst died of brain tumor in 1996... his masterpiece is called 'bina na ngai na respect'' he truly loved women as our sisters and a major thread running through his songs was about women rights...

[@festuskingoto2341]

Franco had a special guitor gift

[@jameskiprop7282]

I'm two years older than this song and it is one of my best songs by TPOk jazz.

[@elijahwangombe1244]

So beautiful,

[@josephinekiwanuka]

Beautiful classic tune I remember it very well.

[@ngoziokereafor498]

I can't forget the setting in our Obiri in the 70s with Nna Agugom, Choche Anaemeje, my Uncle Bartholomew and of course my Dad completing the number all pensively listening to Mado

Africa did lost one of the most African music players, this man has it all together in or days and still comands music artistry in Africa; all over the world of interments.

[@lawrencekipengele]

I first heard this music in 1971 when I was going to Mbeya on research it was tremendous and really very enjoyful and it was being played very often thanks to Lwsmbo Mikiadi and his entire band

[@juliusoluoch3603]

We used to listen to Mado from Jukeboxes when in high school in 1969

[@lawrencekipengele]

Franco while in his thirties had really been very good at music punching on the guitar and singing with the other musicians in the band very marvellous and enjoyful

Great memory, but bow about Malage Delugendo posotion on this song? I think is the main singer so far

[@stephenkatete9410]

He was still a baby when TP OK Jazz recorded this song in 1969. Most likely he had not yet become a musician.
