T.P. O.K. Jazz - Kizungu-zungu (1991) 

7⁷

Grand merci pour ces précieuses informations.

@@jeancreator7035 Merci

Asante James for your superb intro of this legends

I can't stop listening to you, Kikwana.. for the umpteenth time, I get myself listening to this classic hit of Papa Nedule Nono Noel ❤❤❤❤❤

I was too young those days..... standard one at mapambano primary school dsm

TPOK couldn't hold together without Franco

@@kags5779 Franco was TP OK Jazz and TP OK Jazz was Franco

@@ANDAREJO you are right.

Francos family brought the split, they still wanted lions share even after francos demise

The comment equally applies to Papa Noel (NONO) the composer who also produced (Bon Samaritan)whose works still stand out

Very true the unsung heroes of TPOK jazz dont know why

Very true brother i hear Franco sidelined them coz they were very close to Simarro lutumba , and if ur very keen you'll notice they only appeared on Lutumbas compositions

@George Ojwang I beg to differ. TP OK Jazz was teeming with talent. Again it should not be lost to us that Lutumba Ndomanueno aka Simaro Massiya (RIP) was recruited into TP OK Jazz primarily as a composer and was the main song writer for TP OK Jazz and also played rhythm guitar in most of his compositions. He was the soul of the band and no one including Franco himself composed more songs than Le Poeté who also deputised Le Grande Maitre as vice president of TP OK Jazz. In the 80s Aimé Kiwakana featured in many songs especially as back for Josky and even had his own composition like "Eperdument" under the TP OK JAZZ label. The quartet of Josky Kiambukuta, Aimé Kiwakana, Lokombe Ntal, and Madilu System teamed up in a number of albums or LPs

Very true the unsung hero in the TPOK jazz

Great siinging. RIP.

Well said

The voice of Kiwanaka which I mentioned was missing in the HOMMAGE of Josky

Ouis!!

Do you have any link?

Merci 🙏 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩

I understand why you think that this song is called 'Madiabuana', - but it is not. On the original lp the titles were mixed up. If you listen to the songs, however, you will soon discover which title belongs to which song. The composer and lead vocal are already mentioned, by the way.

@@WorldSrv Thats tue. This song and madiabuana are different. I think theres a mixup between the two. They are both in the album Bel Ami, done by Papa Noel.

I think the original vocalist was Carlito Lassa

@@johnmapunda99 yes he was

Not Lugendo

I can see Flavien Makabi on bass, I think he is still alive, not sure if Lola is also dead

Lukoki diatho is also alive I hope

@@manferdbitala777: Makabi is alive; Lola is dead. Not sure of Diatho but if you say he's alive, then he's alive, and that's good news.

What caused this low life expectancy? Was it the SIDA pandemic?

@@ANDAREJO A handful of them succumbed to it but most of their deaths stemmed from overindulgence in alcohol and drugs. Added to their peril was impoverishment -- the money they made wasn't commensurate to their excruciating workloads. Those who didn't write songs barely made livings, even some song writers were cheated. Long after Franco was dead, Lola Chechain found out (from a reporter who was interviewing him) that a song he had submitted to the band in the late 1980s, but was told that it didn't make the cut, was actually released by Franco on a different label and made lots of money, none of which a he saw a dime. He asked for the song to be played to him (which the reporter did) for him to believe that the song was indeed released.

True

Djo was beneath Aime & Mpudi Decca

Great job by Aime, now Paul is Papa Noel still alive, a great composer and guitarist in his own right

Hello Maddo! Lola Checain is still a life. we lost Djo Mpoyi and Aime Kiwakana.

@@peterabwao3150 Lola Djangi Checain died in 1992

Sad but we accept

J'aime cette chanson

Suka elengi makasi

wonderful!

Everything is relaxed and natural.Simply good piece.

This was after the death of Le Grand Maîtré Franco Luambo Makiadi(RIP). Big up Aimé Kiwakana(RIP) the lead vocalist here. With the back up of Djo Mpoyi(RIP), Lola Checain(RIP) & Diatho Lukoki. Guitarists are Flavien Makabi ~ bass, Lutumba Ndomanueno aka Simaro Massiya ~ rhythm, Franco Mongo ~ mi-solo & Nedule Nono aka Papa Noel ~ solo

@@ANDAREJO who is Franco Mongo

@@kennedyontuga9106 His real name is Bohomba Boteku Pierre alias Franco Mongo. He joined TP OK Jazz after Franco’s death but died soon after. He was to fill Franco’s singing and lead/mi-solo role. Rumor has it he was cursed for filling Luambo’s shoes

This is a composition by papa noel for the album Bel ami

Lukoki Diatho is right there next to Lola Checain

jm04151975 LUKOKI

Diatho is at the far end, left of Lola

@@dennisaraka6 Carlito.
