musical link: Franco, Madilu Coeurs and Tony Nyadundo
Seems like I have been naughty, I could have sworn that I posted a couple of tracks this last Friday but Musa now reminds me that I did not.
Please accept my apologies so that we can get to the music.
First off, a track from Madilu Coeurs known as Boreau Deg Bonyenye. I could have sworn this was Franco especially given that I had posted this some time back and gotten no takers on guessing whom it was although Musa stated almost categorically that it is Franco. Well, now some research indicates that this is might indeed be by Madilu Coeurs, a group whose composition I have been unable to discern. Can anybody help us out with some information about them?
Madilu Coeurs - Boreau Deg Bonyenye
Next, a track from the The Maestro himself: this is Massu originally released in 1986? that Stern’s re-released back in 2005. The re-release has already sold out.
Franco Luambo Makiadi & TP OK. Jazz. - Massu
And a special treat for all of you: here is Tony Nyadundo, King of Ohangla music, a genre that has taken Kenya by storm, in Ng’ato. The cool thing about this track is the instrumentation; I thought I heard an accordion in there and there is a harmonica at the end at the track fades out.

April 24, 2007, 6:45 amHi Steve,
Would the lead singer/vocalist on Franco’s ‘Massu’ be M’Pongo Love?Actually, it is Jolie Detta who was the only female to ever sing lead vocals for TP OK Jazz.
(click on the image to get the large version of the LP cover).
You can check out more Franco cover art here.
Just realized that this LP is has Layile, another of my favorite tracks on the B side. So this must be Jolie as well.
Definitely killer!!!
(In case you did not notice, there is a bonus track somewhere in that comment!)

A man from the dutch radio said 15 years ago, Franco is the most successful african musician of all time…
I love that tune… thanks!!

April 29, 2007, 4:39 pmHey Messini,
The samples at Sterns Music are incorrect. To listen to ‘Massu’, you have to click on sample 01(labeled as ‘Mamou II’). To listen to ‘Mamou II’ you need to click on sample 03 (listed as ‘Bolingo…’) etc.. -
