le Grand Maïtre Franco et le Tpok
Jazz - Baniel - Nana, Choc





































If you look for female singers in Congolese music you
don't find a lot. Of course there's Mbilia Bel, Mpongo Love
and Abeti but male singers form the majority by far. le Grand
Maïtre Franco was not only maïtre playing guitar but also in
finding the ladies. Given this Choc Belgian release, even the
police was needed to control the jealous crowd. Haha, no but
serious, doesn't Franco look proud on this great cover ?
Sweet stuff, listen..

tracks;

1 Les on dit
2 C'est dur la vie d'une femme celibataire
3 Je vis avec le P.D.G.
4 Flora, une femme difficile

Thanks Moos ... I've had the cassette for years but I never got round to ripping it. Anyway I'm sure you've produced a better digital copy than any I could have come up with.

It is followed up by a song from Faya Tess' latest CD.

I've downloaded a lot of Franco in the last 6 months, much of it from this blog. This release really stands out. Nana and Baniel have heavenly voices!

More, please!

And thank you, as always, for sharing such great music.
