The Very Best of Mayaula Mayoni, “Don Padrino” – Fiona-Fiona, ALIA Music 1987

Before I found this album by Mayaula Mayoni, I had never heard of
him. When searching on the internet I can’t seem to find much
more then a discography. I also found out he used to sing with
Franco at a certain point. Youtube has a few films. What I do know
is that I liked this LP from the first time I heard it.
Sung with ‘Malage de Lugendo’ this is great Congolese music.

tracks;

1 Fiona – Fiona
2 l’Infimière
3 Amour, maladie d’amour

    Mayaula never sang with the TP OK Jazz. He was a professional football player and a fan of the OK Jazz before he joined them as a composer (“Cherie Bonduwe”) and rhythm guitarist.
    Malage on the other hand was a singer with the TP OK Jazz (replacing Carlito).
    Nice album!

    I must have been mislead somewhere, thank you for correcting. I should have said he played with them.
    Fortunately we got specialists visiting here ! Thanks Wrldserv.

    You probably already know this, but Veniuza (La Machine a Tube), a record of his from 1984 (Africa New Sound – ANS 8405), is available over at ýlowek scavel-cronek. It’s listed under Mayaula, with no last name.

    Thanks for all your hard work!

    Mayaula Mayoni is one of the songwriters who worked with
    Franco’s O.K. Jazz for some time. In fact this LP is made with
    the orchestration of l’O.K. Jazz. Check out the musicians on this,
    unfortunately, crackely record. To call a few names; Carlito Essou-
    Doué, Malage de Lugendo, Ntesa Dalienst, Nana, Baniel, Dizzy
    Mandjeku, Papa Noël Nedule and Empompo Loway. Not the least as you can see. Although a bit noisy at some points, an album that deserves a few spins.
