Orchestre Negro Succes – Les Merveilles du Passé african 1970

Did you know Franco had a younger brother who was also lead guitarist ?
Bavon Marie Marie gained quite some popularity in the late sixties with
Leon Bholen and Orchestre Negro Succes. The band was formed by Vicky
Longomba in 1960 who came from Franco’s OK Jazz. After he made up with
Franco and returned to OK jazz, Bavon Marie Marie and Leon Bholen took over.
On this record we hear Bavon Marie Marie as lead guitarist probably for the last
time. He died shortly after it on august 5, 1970 in a tragic car accident.
Bavon Luambo Siongo 1944 – 1970.

    I just bought a copy of this which arrived at my home yesterday, and it’s a good one. Not much Bavon Marie Marie around, so thanks for spreading the word.

    What wonderful music, beautiful like diamonds – thankyou for sharing this. Is that Bholen or Bavon Marie Marie on lead? I never knew which one did what. I do know that whoever it was, played with faultless taste and control, you can hear it. If it’s BMM then his death robbed us all of a great talent far too young, and it drove Franco into a terrible grief. Beautiful and poignant. Thanks again MamboPete

    Moos, it has been very cold up here; from minus 5 to minus 22 Celsius. Now it is minus 20. This means that my feet are cold and an “organic” way to keep them warm would be to listen (and to dance to) good Colombian Cumbia. If you have any album you have not yet posted, please do it.
    Btw, nice album by “Orchestre Negro Succes”.
