Speaking about magnificent voices, Madilu System
was gifted as very few others. Together with heavy
weight Franco he made this 1985 album on Edipop.
I can't give you an informative background story but
an album like this can go easily without.
Just listen.

Thanks for posting these vintage TPOK Jazz tracks. The songs are authentic Lingala epics, especially "Mamou" ("Tu Vois"?) and "Non".
I have to catch up with so much excellent music
@ Global Groove
Thank you too much!
Except maybe for 'Ya Jean' and "Mario' feel the best Madilou songs are on that disk.
@ Timothy
Any place where we can find the lyrics of these songs?
Regards,
Thanks for this magnificent recording!
@Joji:
I haven't found the lyrics for these tracks anywhere. "Mamou" is probably the easiest to transcribe and translate so I might have a go at it myself when I get some free time.
Since you're interested in Lingala lyrics and their translation, here are two useful books to add to the "fun" shelves in your study:
DZOKANGA A. & al: Chanson et Proverbes Lingala, Conséil international de la langue française, Paris, 1993
MABIKA PIE-AUBIN: La Chanson congolaise: son histoire, sa vérité, ses textes et leurs significations, L'Harmattan, Paris, 2005
À bientôt ...

Thank you very much. Merci beaucoup. Melesi mingi.
Excellent! Many thanks. Apurva from Pune, India.
Thanks. Much appreciated.
What a strange album this is, first of all it has the same serial number as the lp Tres Impoli: 028. Also the fact that the English word presents is used instead of the French presente, so it probably was released in Kenya.
Then the impression is given that this was a Madilu solo album which it is not, the 4 songs come from 4 different lp's. Most curious of all is the inclusion of the Dennis Bonyeme composition Burreau des coeurs, the lead vocalist being Ntesa Dalienst, Madilu can only be heard twice during a couple of seconds in the chorus.
For so many years in my life I have never come a cross such fine music.
A music of all times and for all people.
My father the late Collins Obare Bita was a great fan of Franco T.P. OK.JAZZ and Madilu. this was the anthem of our home.
Music is powerful mode of communication that we cant survive without
