HOW JOSKY FOUND HIS SINGING EQUILIBRIUM
September 08, 2024 - 02:12 PM
JOSKY KIAMBUKUTABy The Monk Josky Kiambukuta, who died on March 7, 2021, in a clinic in Ngaliema, found his musical home at Franco's OK Jazz (OKJ) after two stints with Nico’s African Fiesta Sukisa in the late 1960s and Orchestre Continental in 1971 and 1972. Sampling three songs he performed, one with each of the three bands, clearly shows why OKJ was his ultimate musical home. The first song is Orchestre Continental’s "Mama na Nicole," a composition by Bopol Mansiamina dedicated to his girlfriend. Josky sings lead vocals, backed by Wuta Mayi. The second song is "Bolingo ya Sens Unique," his own composition with African Fiesta Sukisa in 1969, performed as a solo. The......

POWERFUL MAN WHO JAILED FRANCO
August 23, 2024 - 01:25 PM
STORY OF A POWERFUL MAN WHO BRUSHED SHOULDERS WITH FRANCO Franco's longest stint in prison was not because of a political song. It happened in 1978 when Franco released two songs on Cassette. The two songs Helene and Jacky were deemed shocking and immoral. He was summoned by the then Attorney General Kengo wa Dondo to explain himself. Franco defended himself vigorously suggesting that there was nothing immoral about the songs. They then summoned his mother Mbonga Makiesse to determine if the songs were immoral. Franco is said to have pleaded with them not to involve his mother. Mama Makiesse listened to the songs and reacted in shock. Franco was sentenced to 6 months. Ten of his musicians,......
