Did you know? After Franco’s sad passing, his famous T.P. O.K. Jazz
went on and made some great music. I’m sure Le Grand Maître would
have approved. Under devoted leadership of Lutumba Simaro they made
this album with some of the biggest stars. We’ve got Kiambukuta Josky,
Madilu, Djo Mpoyi, Pablo Lubadika Porthos, Ndombe Opetum and Papa
Noël to name a few. Mixed by Dizzy Mandjeku and Dieudos Makwanzi.

aaaah!, where was this album hidden?. I had a normal audio casette (poorly mastered by crooke dubpilcators, nevertheless I had to buy and enjoy it.
Despite of its poor quality which I had to agree with it as I had no alternative, my child spoiled itd. I wanted to crash her but hands of law were close to me and I stopped my intent.
The songs are realy touching and heartfelt. This shows why TP Ok Jazz was strong band ever, musicians who did it. Recommendable Josky!!

As I am lucky to attest, the TPOK Jazz is still going. I’m just finishing up a couple of years in Kinshasa and have started hitting up occasional Sunday night shows at Franco’s old Un-Deux-Trois. Rumors abound that Sam Mangwana might join the band this coming Sunday, the night before I leave Kin.
Here’s a clip from May 30th of this year. Great, great, great: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-AZ75Rxkys
