@MrSinafungu I remember hearing my first Franco recording. At the time a very difficult before the internet marketplace. I have acquired ALL Franco TPOK recordings. High poetry and popular music - Quite a feat and deserving of a posthumous Nobel Prize. The tragedy of Bavon Marie Marie's death devastated Franco. He obviously felt a sense of responsibility. He was a vulnerable human at the same time a sorcerer of the guitar. A great poet (along with member-composers under Lumabo's leadership).
Mangwana said it best "Franco was unique. Like Shakespeare, or Mozart, combined with Pele or Muhammad Ali. He was irreplaceable. The sort of man who appears maybe once every 100 years." Comparison to anyone else in musical history is inadequate and inacurate.
kindu2006 don't you know its deliberate, so that others are shielded from hearing from the real giants. Nothing against Yusuf but he knows also that Franco deserves it better than him a MILLION TIMES.
he is the undisputed colossus of African music...a generation born after his death do also appreciate his Music
