know you i knew you yes hello how are you all who were wondering what happened with mangue music well i was very very busy with many many other things always keeping in the back of my mind to return here and post some good music if i had the time and a good oportunity well that oportunity happened at a flea markwet where i found a very strange cd with very little info about it s contents so i asked the seller and he didn t have a clue therefore i asked if i could listen to it he said he didn t have a player there but i could just take it and have it for free i liked his generousness as the text on the disc franco op slag van maandag kro 1988 had given me the idea that it might be an interesting andpotentially special cd well it is it s a radioshow broadcasted sometime in 1988 on dutch kro radio and it has two parts an almost half hour congo special a more than half hour recording of franco live 1984 jan 24 in amsterdam congo special 1988 and franco live 1984 in amsterdam no listen

several ways without success so instead of my own images a pictures from getty embedded in the post but don t worry my own are all in the download some links for those of you who like add info about franco a lot of audio by one of his biggest fans at worldservice an old blog with a lot of info at franco et tpok jazz restored an interesting article about franco in the journal of music an article from a dutch newspaper bandleider franco was machtiger dan mobutu i made translations of quotes by stefan werdekker wrldsrv from the above linked dutch article he gave post colonial africa its own identity from the sixties onwards with his pursuit of authenticity of its own identity through music he influenced the entire continent franco demonstrated how you could combine elements from your own folk music with electric guitar music he was also a great bandleader a kind of training institute because everyone performed best with him he understood the art of well he often took them away from competitors constantly attracting new talent until his death in 1989 he had about fifty people on his payroll spread over orchestras in kinshasa paris and brussels franco s songs last about ten minutes they start with the heating the warm up in which the singers play a leading role then it s the turn of the guitars which slowly slide their repetitive motifs into each other werdekker franco called that the mipanza the knitting style you could call him the rivaldo of congolese rumba he sent the band to a certain point and then waited for his moment like a libero he was essentially a rebel a provocateur who denounced everything in his songs even though he supported the political campaigns of president mobutu he always remained critical for example the song camp luka is about a slum in kinshasa which borders on a lavish residential area can you explain to me why franco sings in every chorus he also attacked ministers such as kengo wadondo of justice in the satirical tailleur the tailor he gets a dig at him because he cuts up freedom of expression and cuts it to his size franco was popular in all layers of the population mobutu was powerful thanks to franco his politics gained a certain legitimacy franco was the only one who could take his president to task after his death that critical note disappeared and the flaws in mobutu s politics came to light only then did mobutu make his first concessions to democracy the 1984 jan 24 concert by franco in the melkweg is listed as one of the 4 live concert sensations of the last century together with lionel hampton 1953
