I posted all these songs before as seperate songs (I have removed those from my list), as this posting is the album as a whole, posted in HQ. Mose Sengo, aka Fanfan sent me details on the line-ups on each song. Mose informs us that Franco was in convalescence after the death of his brother for more than six months. So Franco did not play on this record, Mose did the honours. In fact, during these years, Mose played live with O.K. Jazz more than Franco did anyway, because the orchestra played in Franco's night club in Kinshasa every night and Mose played on weekdays, Franco played in weekends. (Ntesa Dalienst once told us: Franco did not play, but everybody knows it's Franco who's playing...). This record was probably recorded near the end of 1970, since Bavon Marie-Marie died on August 5th, 1970 and the fourth song refers to this. 00:02 BEA (Vicky) vocals: Vicky Longomba with Lola Chécain, Youlou Mabiala, Michèl Boyibanda; guitar solo: Mose Fanfan; guitar acc: Lutumba Simaro; saxo: Isaac Musekiwa; guitar bass: Céli (Francis) Bitshou; percussion: Bosuma Dessoin; maracasse: Simon Moke 04:24 ROCKY AKO VENGER NGAI (Vicky) vocals: Vicky Longomba with Lola Chécain; guitar solo: Mose Fanfan; guitar acc: Lutumba Simaro; saxo: Dele Pedro + Isaac Musekiwa; guitar bass: Céli (Francis) Bitshou; percussion: Bosuma Dessoin 09:38 NGAI NA BOYAKI YO TE (Vicky) vocals: Vicky Longomba with Lola Chécain & Youlou Mabiala; guitar solo: Mose Fanfan; guitar acc: Lutumba Simaro; saxo: Isaac Musekiwa + Dele Pedro; guitar bass: Céli (Francis) Bitshou; percussion: Bosuma Dessoin; maracasse: Simon Moke 14:14 EN MEMOIRE DE BAVON (Vicky) vocals: Vicky Longomba with Lola Chécain, Youlou Mabiala, Michèl Boyibanda; guitar solo: Mose Fanfan; trompette: Baramy + Caillous + Kapitena + Seyé; guitar acc: Lutumba Simaro; saxo: Isaac Musekiwa + Dele Pedro; guitar bass: Céli (Francis) Bitshou; percussion: Dupool; drum: Ntoya 20:02 NA ZALI KITOKO MINGI (Vicky) vocals: Vicky Longomba with Lola Chécain; guitar solo: Mose Fanfan; guitar acc: Lutumba Simaro; saxo: Dele Pedro + Isaac Musekiwa; guitar bass: Céli (Francis) Bitshou; percussion: Dupool; maracasse: Simon Moke 24:48 NANI AKOBENGA MAMA (Vicky) vocals: Vicky Longomba with Michèl Boyibanda, Lola Chécain; guitar solo: Mose Fanfan; guitar acc: Lutumba Simaro; saxo: Dele Pedro; trompette: Baramy + Capitane+ Seyé + Cailloux; guitar bass: Céli (Francis) Bitshou; percussion: Dupool; maracasse: Simon Moke; drum: Ntoya 30:31 NAKUFELI INVITATION (Vicky) vocal: Vicky Longomba; guitar solo: Mose Fanfan; guitar acc: Lutumba Simaro; guitar bass: Céli (Francis) Bitshou; percussion: Bosuma Dessoin; maracasse: Simon Moke (The picture shown during this song was taken on a Sunday afternoon at Vis á vie bar (Kinshasa) 1972, from left to right: Baramy (trumpet player) - Mose Fanfan - Franco) 34:49 MWANA PONAKA (Vicky) vocals: Vicky Longomba with Lola Chécain & Youlou Mabiala; guitar solo: Mose Fanfan; guitar acc: Lutumba Simaro; guitar bass: Céli (Francis) Bitshou; saxo: Isaac Musekiwa; percussion: Bosuma Dessoin; maracasse: Simon Moke -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Personally, I do not like it when others repost our posts. Especially, if this happens without any source information at all. But unfortunately, reposts of our stuff, from this space and from http://wrldsrv.blogspot.nl/ are popping up all over the internet, as well as several posters on YouTube who have reposted posts from this page, or their "own" posts using my photos (mostly inappropriately), or posted on YT what they got from the above mentioned blog. As in real life, the internet is swarming with leeches... So normally, I would not consider reposting what I found on the net, which is not the same as posting what we already had in our collection but someone else posted as well, because different sources means the quality may be improved upon. But in the case of this exceptionally wonderful and rare album, after long consideration, I have decided to make an exception. The most important reason for this is that downloading is not an option for everyone. The slower the connection, the harder it gets and not everybody is using their own computers. Especially in Africa itself, these limitations are considerable in many areas. Unfortunately, the original post of this, here: http://globalgroovers.blogspot.com/20... was frustrated because the U.S. copyrights mafia / F.B.I / recording industry are getting some grip on the internet, as a result of which, Moos' original upload was removed from MediaFire. (We only had two out of eight songs in our collection before, so our thanks go out to Moos.) ...Vicky et O.K. Jazz 1970 - YouTube | |

Sam Mangwana's first year with Franco, Lola Chécain's eighth. Here they were singing together as if they'd done nothing else all their lives. Personally, I think Sam never sounded better than when he was backed by Chécain. Lola also does percussion and animations, especially during Franco's solo. Also with Simaro, Decca, Dessoin, Ntoya.

Vicky Longomba (who would also sing Lumumba, Héros National with O.K. Jazz 7 years later) sang here with Joseph Kabasselé, aka Le Grand Kalé. With Armando Brazzos (who had mostly played rhythm guitar with O.K. Jazz during the previous years) on bass, Dr. Nico on guitar, his older brother Déchaud on rhythm guitar, I suppose Roger Izeidi on maracas and Pierrot on percussion.Vive Patrice Lumumba (Vicky Longomba) - African Jazz 1960 - YouTube | |

This is one of five songs that were played twice that night. This is the second version, with a little bit from the first version to repair the seconds missing due to the recording cassette changeover. The first version was more echo-y, possibly due to the smaller audience earlier in the night. So the edit is detectable. In the picture: Gégé Mangaya, who played the Simaro part here. I don't know the name of the drummer. The Télé Zaire version is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhMwrK...
