François Luambo Luanzo Makiadi - Franco, one of the greatest figure in 20th century Congolese rhumba, the Sorcerer of the Guitar, died.
Most Kenyans know a Franco Track, or 60 [he had over 150 albums]. One of the ones I like[SIZE=4] is a collabo with Tabu Ley - Lettre a Mr le Directeur General[/SIZE] .

[COLOR=rgb(85, 57, 130)]ah! Ngai Nabali Misere.

[COLOR=rgb(85, 57, 130)]Oh ngai na leli eh eh
[COLOR=rgb(250, 197, 28)]Translates to

Kuna wale husema that Nana was Kenyan just because her name is akumu.
I think Jollie Deta was the best Female vocalist Followed by mpongo Love
