The World still remembers with nostalgia and affection a primary school dropout born into crushing poverty in the village of Sona-Bata, who would lose his father at a tender age, but who would later defy the odds and rise to become the undisputed King of Rhumba. Franco Luambo Makiadi may be gone, but his music lives on.
Am Zimbabwean, but I grew up listening to Rhumba vibes by giants such as Franco. As I do not speak Lingala or French, I do not understand what the guys are talking about in their songs. It seems the best of this genre was created in the DRC and nowhere else in Africa. Each time I listen to these sounds, I silently weep over how Africa was raped by colonialism. Now its leaders in what ought to be post-independence Africa are competing to tear it down through generalised misgovernance, corruption etc. Such a shame, really.
Avec Franco et son TP OK JAZZ, c’était la musique éducative, instructive et distrayante. La rumba pour tous sans distinction de génération.Tout le monde pouvait danser aisément jeunes et vieux : c’était la belle époque de la République du Zaïre aujourd’hui RDC. Y a-t-il de l’espoir pour ce pays ? Certainement Oui ! Il suffit d’une prise de conscience de la classe politique pour gérer les enjeux nationaux et internationaux. Car le réveil patriotique s’installe au sein de la population, le pays n’est pas pauvre purement et simplement mais souffre de la mauvaise gestion de ses multiples ressources vive la RDC!
bien dit! la roumba s'est installée et ça restera à l'infini ! suis pas si âgé mais c'est incroyable que la roumba soit fondée à la base de mon coeur ! vive la roumba vive la RDC!
Am just weeping for Africa, the continent would have redefined everything has been ruined & undermined by colonialism from the beginning and now its leaders are tearing it down. What a top talent.
Franco, I take off a hat and give you a thousand stars. I was born in the 80s and I remember that my mother listened to these songs. I still listening in 2020 in USA
J,ai des larmes aux yeux en écoutant cette compilation de grand maître franco luambo makiadi. Que ton âme repose en paix, vraiment un talent formidable ,aussi un don de Dieu bravo artiste. Des inspirations fortes pour toutes les générations.
Having grown up in the 80s and 90 listen listening to this kind of music which is powerful enough to spark the neurons and rekindle childhood memories it make one feel you had an wholesome childhood experience.
Great Music this is the year 80s . Masu one of the best of that time . Franco ‘s music was éducative of African society in general and of both Congo in particular
We must preserve this heritage Nobody cannot do that for us and we cannot allow nobody tell that Africans are not entered enough in the history of humanity. Maybe Mozart and Beethoven were great componist but for me Franco and tpok are half god when talking about african beets It is a really pleasure Thanks Franco
Oh, yea, Mozart and Ludvig were nothing compared to Franco. It's all the racist keeping him down. Franco is the best musician that has ever lived! Nobody tell Africans not entered enough.
Grand maitre Franco makiadi tu es unique, un musicien de talent exceptionnel et ta voix un pur delice pour tes chansons magnifique. Avec tous ses oeuvres que tu as produit, quel sons, quel arrangement. Tu es immortel comme Tabu ley, Gr kallé, Madilu, Pépé kallé..
Luambo Luanzo Makiadi rest in peace. My brother Lawi (RIP) as Ben and I remember our good time with the stereo system that played these music endlessly....just sitting and listening.
Yes yes Africa has got rhythm from Cape to Cairo, Maputo to Lagos, Luanda to Djibouti we are just a graced people, the pulse of music rhythm is born in us. See our sisters swing their hips and the brothers gyrate in unison to the legendary sound of non other than our Dear good Franco.
The very first time I heard Rhumba music was in 1969 when I visited East Africa . Initially , I found the music to be very strange , because it was new to me , a young man from Botswana . However , gradually , I came to like this music , and I play it to this very day . Thank you to Franco and the OK Jazz Band , and to the multitudes of Jazz Bands in East Africa for this Rhumba music .
Intemporelle musique ... Que de souvenirs ...une chance d avoir grandis avec cette musique à Poto Poto Moungali-242... 60 ans à vivrer avec ces mélodies et enseignements sociétaux.... même au bout de 40 ans dans le 33....fan à jamais de la bonne rumba congolaise
MERCI POUR TOUT...POUR LA DIGNITE DE LA CULTURE ET DE LA SOCIETE AFRICAINES DONT VOTRE OEUVRE DONNE LA PREUVE, FRANCO...MERCI POUR CES CLASSIQUES QUI VONT SERVIR DE BASE POUR REBATIR UNE AFRIQUE NOUVELLE ATTACHEE A SA CULTURE...

This is beyond music. It's an artistic mastery. Franco luambo makiadi, the entire TPOK jazz band and it's producers have left a mark of an enigmatic nostalgia in our hearts forever. Growing up in the nyanza region of Kenya a region famous for passionate generation of connoisseurs of fine music and finer things in life, TPOK jazz blissful tunes were very much ingrained into our everyday lives. Every household whether in the deep rural, urban estates or suburbs proudly owned a piece of the record either in form of a vinyl or a cassette. Their tunes dominated the airwaves and were all time favourite in family living rooms, offices, police stations, hospitals, farm fields, army barracks, government buildings, places of business, entertainment joints, restaurants and the local radio stations. For years and decades their work of art has refreshed, entertained, calmed, comforted, provided solace and soothed many hearts and minds. I say thank you for sharing your gifts to the world with an open heart. What a masterpiece. 🙏🙏
Recently I came across a Luambo Franco song I heard being played on 60 rpm discs in the 1960s. I had known that the artist was the greatest giant of African music scene, Lwanzo Lwanzo Makiadi.
*Kie kie kie😁Batiya DONGODONGO. GRAND MAÎTRE YORGHO Franco de Mi Amor fut un Génie de la Musique. La Chanson "NON" est un chef-d'œuvre. Botama Kongolo-Zaïrois oyoka suka na elengi. Atandele MBOKA NA BISO EKOBONGA. Ba Tutsi Banyarwanda bilongi misukusu bakopalangana. INGETA*
The largely unacknowledged colossus of the best of African music. This guy was a hit - for us that are familiar with his opus - and is still a hit decades later. He was popular before the internet and in Sub-Sahara Africa at that. From the DR Congo, Makiadi demonstrated what happens when you do music right. Commands a legion of hardcore fans in Kenya, I being one of them.
Hands down for this man. May he RIP!! His work will live for ever. The team he assembled to produce these kinds of music has never been matched by any musician in Africa. We were blessed to be born during his reign.
True... Franco very talented himself with his unbelievable guitar skills was able to identify and attract other talents... the best vocalists and at the heart of them the best composer in Lutumba Simaro Massiya. The names included Munsi Kwamy Mulumba Joseph ( Mujos), Vicky Longomba,...the father of Awilo Longomba, Sam Mangwana, Youlou Mabiala, Wuta Mayi, Jo Mpoy, Josky Kiambukuta, Madilu System, Detta Jolie Carlito Lassa, and many more. That's the reason we cannot possibly have enough of TP OK Jazz. We are indeed blessed to have lived in his time and attended his concerts. Long live the "GrandMaster"!
No other band beats TPok Jazz.kudos sons of the soil..my parents influenced my love for Franco..I was born in the early 80's and I listened to these guys day in day out..to this day when I go out its only for rhumba
@Dania Okwach by choosing TPOK Jazz (Tout Puissant Orchestre Kinshasha or “All powerful Orchestre Kinshasha”), you're in the right space musically. But with the death of Lutumba Simaro Masiya (The Poet) last year, TPOK Legends are now all gone. What a loss, this melancholic guru was the mainstay of TPOK through very innovative compositions......
True Legend. He has almost singularly elevated Zaire beat to international recognition. It's simply classic. I stumbled into his music at a Nairobi record shop in early 1980, bought a few LPs and cotinue to enjoy todate.
Seigneur j'ai les larmes aux yeux, c'est trop de beauté et de pureté ! Si seulement quelqu'un pouvait classer les sons qu'on entend dans ce mix ça serait super
She is just talking about her jalous friend who every time jalousing her when she got a new boy friend, especialy if the latter is taking very care of her then she is becoming against her friend.
Once you start getting a few words, these Rhumba hits become even exceedingly sweeter..... Most of the lyrics are extremely poetic in their composition touching on social issues (love-bolingo; death-Liwa; religion-bonzambe; family-famie/bandeko; wealth/money-Bozwi/Mbongo; power/leadership- Bokonzi/Mokonzi etc)... Anyway, let us enjoy the legendary music bandeko.
FRANCO makes me resurrect my Dad....His VISA original cassettes, his two-way speaker system etc. He simply bewitched me when he connected one of the speakers to my bed-room. RIP Franco and your departed fans!

Each time I listen to these legends..am deeply moved that Africa is rich..but the state of Congo is devastating..what are you doing to bring back the lost glory of this mother land thru your music.I look forward to a future..where men will be driven by compassion..empathy,selflessness and wellbeing of their less priveledged pple..in their so called countries..instead of building hedges and big walls..to separate them frm who haven'ts.
Unfortunately the Congolese politicians are the most inhumane people on earth. The current president is the most useless president on earth. He never had a job in his life. His first job??? President of the country like Congo. He’s now a billionaire and all his family and friends are multimillionaires.
I remember my elder brother in early eighties playing Franco music on a two way wooden speaker this made me like the Franco music and madilus, up to date i play the songs in my car through out when am on it ,i can see Franco and madilu songs lasting for entire generations to come because they were JUST THE BEST! .Franco and madilu you are the best that African had i wish you could be back, rest in peace.
Growing up my dad bought a Philips Stereo and it had the LP player on top. I have never listened to finer compositions than TPOK Jazz albums on LP. It was and still is the most entertaining and majestic music I have ever listened to. This playlist takes me back, waaaaay baack!!
Tu es parti tres tot Franco Lwambo Makiadi. J etais enfant quand j ai ecoute cette chanson pour la premiere fois et dès lors cette melodie retenti dans mes oreilles comme une douce pluie carressant les carreaux de mes vitres
