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

00:00 Oko Regretter Ngai Mama (Lutumba Simaro)
Vocals: Michèl Boyibanda, Josky Kiambukuta, Wuta Mayi, Lola Chécain (who also plays a little percussion, although inaudible here). Bass guitar: Mpudi Decca, rhythm guitar: Gégé Mangaya (which is remarkable because this is a Simaro composition. Perhaps Lutumba was ill.) Solo guitar: Thierry Mantuika (not sure if his role here should be referred to as mi-solo at this stage already). Franco: directing, coaching and a little guitar, basically setting the pace all the way. Percussion: DuPoole, drums: Ntoya.
10:10 Toyeba Yo (Franco)
Vocals: Michèl Boyibanda, Josky Kiambukuta, Wuta Mayi, Sam Mangwana, Franco. Bass guitar: Mpudi Decca, rhythm guitar: Gégé Mangaya, solo guitar: Thierry Mantuika, mi-solo:Franco. Percussion: DuPoole, drums: Ntoya. Soloist on the alto sax: Dele Pedro.
The studio version, which was obviously recorded later, is here:
kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKammHSubM6Cjc0
20:44 Bondowé (Mayaula Mayoni)
Vocals: Michèl Boyibanda, Josky Kiambukuta, Wuta Mayi. Bass guitar: Mpudi Decca, rhythm guitar: Gégé Mangaya, solo guitar: Thierry Mantuika, mi-solo: Franco. Percussion: DuPoole, drums: Ntoya. I don't think Franco played on the studio version of this song and judging from the fact Boyibanda and Josky were reading the lyrics off a piece of paper, the song was not in the everyday repertoire at the time, perhaps it was brand new?
This was also played in Amsterdam in 1983:
kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5y3gK2AoqaJpM0
The first part was not played here but at least they get to finish the song because there was no arsehole like Lukunku to interrupt before the song was really finished.
Bondowe II is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaHLio1omNGIoqM
Was there any progression in the story?
28:20 Présence Na Ngai Ebangisaka (Lutumba Simaro)
Vocals: Josky Kiambukuta, Wuta Mayi, Lola Chécain (who also plays a little percussion, although inaudible here). Bass guitar: Mpudi Decca, rhythm guitar: Gégé Mangaya. Solo guitar: Thierry Mantuika. Franco: directing, coaching and a more than a little guitar, creating tension with his one-note lines under Thierry's lines. Percussion: DuPoole, drums: Ntoya. No horns.
38:30 Nioka Abangaka Mpe Moto (Franco)
Vocals: Michèl Boyibanda, Josky Kiambukuta, Wuta Mayi. Bass guitar: Mpudi Decca, rhythm guitar: Gégé Mangaya, guitar: Thierry Mantuika, mi-solo: Franco. Percussion: DuPoole, drums: Ntoya. Alto saxo soloing by Dele Pedro. The studio version of this, which was obviously recorded later, is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3rNgWyGgN-Meas

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 .

When i listen to the Congolese Music my reflection goes to my dad he used to play congo musics especially Tabley, Franco, and Anti-choc stars one day he drove us to Abba when i was 11 years my dad used to work in Lasu Primary Health Clinic center at the boarder with DRC or called Zaire by then by during Mobutu's regime. My dad's love for Rhumba made me a good Rhumba fan and a dancer as well as a competitor especially when i was in secondary school.

I grew up with my brother Lucas who just passed away in August,2023. In those days he loved Congolese Music 🎼🎶 mostly Franco, Bokelo and Dr Nico among others. I grew up to love Music 🎵🎶 and now I find them and love to listen to them in Memory of my loving brother Lucas. We are KENYANS of LUO Tribe. Music is a blessing way of THERAPY.
