Born many years after his death, I have invested much time to get to know him and the great TPOK and the BANA OK just to keep the history for the next generation and the music as well. It hurts that I never got a chance to see him alive but the love is there. Long live their music through us.
ce garçon était le plus élégant et le meilleur danseur du groupe OK JAZZ à un moment de la chanson vous croyez qu' il est entrain de pleurer vraiment magnifique que son âme se repose en PAIX
Cet orchestre a marqué l’histoire de la musique africaine, Franco restera toujours gravé dans nos cœurs. Que Dieu accorde une place à tous les membres de l’OK JAZZ au PARADIS.
If all of you who never or barely knew him in life were so deeply touched by his Demise, what about us who knew him for a greater part of our teenage years and throughout our adulthood until his Death? I was 41 when he died but had known him and even to learn his style of Guitar Tactics since 1964 when I was a small Boy in Senior Secondary One at St. Mary's College Kisubi (SMACK) in Uganda!!! He became my Idol, Mentor and Master ever since and he even earned me the Title "Mzee Franco" among my fellow Musicians because of how I would play the Solo Guitar and also sing like him! This Video clearly demonstrates the great VOID left behind in the TP OK JAZZ BAND by his Demise. One can easily see and feel his Absence even at some point the Rhythm Guitar sounds out of tune, something he would never let to happed until his last Performance which signalled his eminent "End of the Road!!!" This Tribute is very much worthwhile for this "Great Maestro." Thank you for paying this Tribute to him. May God continue to grant him a peaceful Eternal Rest. Viva Franco Luambo Makiadi; Viva le TP OK Jazz!
LA MAITRISE DES INSTRUMENTS ET LE CHANT IMPEC 28 ANS APRES JE RESSENT UN VIDE D'UN DES GRANDS GROUPES CONGOZAIROIS IL FAUT ENCORE BCP TRAVAILLER POUR RETROUVER CE NIVEAU BONNE CHANCE A TOUS LES JEUNES
Djo mpoyi, est et restera le rossignol du tout puissant OK jazz. Surtout avec le morceau kadima.. Vraiment une référence que la terre nous a arraché paix à son âme, et benediction à ses enfants.
Grand hommage au grand maître Franco Luambo Makiadi le baobab de la musique Africaine. Merci papa Lutumba pour cette belle composition. Repose en paix le grand chanteur Djo Mpoyi en compagnie de grand maître Franco Luambo Makiadi.
Ah! la belle mélodie! Tu nous as fait rêver, Franco. Ton patrimoine ne sera jamais enterré. L'Afrique Noire se tiendra tôt ou tard debout sous l'implusion de cette musique dopante et propulsante vers des futurs meilleurs. Repose en paix, dieu de la musique africaine... Don Mayé
djo mpoy n'avait pas aussi la bonne mine comme s'il était dja souffrant , nos vrais chanteurs partent tous l'un après l'autre, que vos âmes reposent en paix
I think I am a lucky person. I started listening to Franco et le TP OK jazz as early as 1976.............and My dad used to play his songs daily on the 90 and 45's for those who know.
Mon cœur saigne en regardant cette vidéo, la plupart de ses musiciens pour n’est pas dire presque, sont partis en plus le présentateur kayumbi beya. Que la gloire soit rendue à toi seul. (Dieu)
A great Tribute to a great Musical Giant Lokanga lwa Ndjuu Pene Luambo Luambo Makiadi by the soulful sorrowful voice of the late Djo Mpoyi. May both their souls rest in peace.
Je like ce video en memoire de mon pere a qui on a aussi Dediè cette chanson en remi 😭😭😭😭😭 recu la nouvelle a 5h du matin ( le 19/06/2020) BANZA SYMPHORIEN RIP
Nostagia this reminds OF TP OK jazz's performance in NAIROBI 1990 without The grand master himself SIMARO cried on stage at the BOMAS of KENYA they could not finish the SONG ( LWAMBO)
A great tribute to Luambo Makiadi. Unfortunately, most of the great musicians including Lé Poète Lutumba, the lead vocalist Djo Mpoy, Josky Kiambukuta, Madilu System, Lola Checain, Aime Kiwakana and others are also late. TP OK Jazz was a great African Jazz Band. Nothing like it.
It's so tragic that even most of the musicians on instruments are gone too. Lutumba Simaro, Mpudi Decca, Gege Mangaya, Gerry Dialungana are all no more.
Je n'avais que 2 ans à la mort de LUAMBO.Paix à vos âmes nos Grand pères et compatriotes,voilà les musiques avec remplis des leçons énormes. Depuis le Nord-Kivu ville de Goma
Abou after many years of following your postings, I may tell you now that I never knew that other the late L'kanga Landju Pene Luambo Lwanzo Makiadi de mi Amor himself, no one would ever know and love TP Ok Jazz more than me, but you do. I salute u baba. Jakano.
Agreed on the basis of horror his presence presented but reproduction of music is perfect like as it used to be because Franco used to perform on very limited occasions but the Band performed non stop.In fact Franco was magnanimous in naming his group Franco ET Le T P O K meaning the other was ONE and the same.To me this Band could have out lived Franco for much longer but personality clashes. Remember they were known as "CHAMPIONS du ZAIRE " soon after Franco's death.In short they were schooled to PERFECTION by the Grand Master that even after the brak up of Band,offsprings such as-,Lutumba and Bana O K,Madilu Bialu with Band,Dizzy Mandiyeku Tshimanga with his Tshimangologue,Shakespeare and his one man band have not disappointed Rhumba fanatics like.Pipo let us learn to embrace INNOVATION some times
The charisma and the BOOMING VOICE of FRANCO can never be replicated and that made the difference with other Bands and the songs sounded different. By the way I have not witnessed other Videos by the group for me to make a fair assessment but this one was the greatest before their separation. 'ALIMATOU the song itself composed after they toured ZAMBIA I e then Northern Rhodesia before TP O K was born to me is coincidental.

Baudouin Nkumu Mokonzi Salomon wa Kinois and Zaramoku as Philias ADJILE previously stated... One has to understand that even though Franco had been dead a year or so Lukunku was probably still struck with grief not only at his passing but also that other band members he was used to seeing were no longer part of the line up. This group was like family to him. If you look at early T.P OK Jazz videos from this channel (The song Liberté from 1975, Télé Zaïre 1975, Télé-Zaïre 1979, Télé Zaïre 1980, Télé Zaïre 1982 and Télé Zaire 1986) you will notice that Lukunku did most of the live show interviews starting from the early 70's through to the 80's. Lutumba's Hommage à Luambo is a very poignant track
"The group was like family to him." I am sure HE was NOT like family to THEM!! He was one of the most notorious of Mobutu's brown-nosers. Hated by many for what he represented. Often thought he was more important than the artist, for instance interrupting Chérie Bondowé in 1975 before the song could be finished. His life was cut tragically short less than two years later than the above clip. By a lynchmob hahahahaha!!!
AboubacarSiddikh A.S; Who is the mini-solo guitarist leading the performance of "Chacun Pour Soir"? He exhibits rare potential for a creme de la creme virtuoso artiste! What is his history with TPOK/Bana OK?
@@AboubacarSiddikh You were asked,about 4 years ago,a question by one Usuuaji Jeff,but upto date,you haven't answered that question.I,too Am interested in knowing about that person and where he is now.Please comment.
