To me the best vocal frontline ever was TPOK Jazz around 1981 ; Josky, Dalienst, Ndombe Opetum, Wuta Mayi, Djo Mpoy.

Tabu Ley was every bit as good as Franco, maybe even better. he just never had the personel to compete with Franco.

I beg to disagree. TPOK Jazz best can be traced 1079- 82

But vocals were during the time of Sam Mangwana. It took Djo Mpoy to remind people what suuunging a song was all about. See Kingfisher's post.

Dalienst, Josky could sing

but suuuunging

Michèl Boyibanda, Youlou , Wuta Mayi,Lola Djangi Chécain

Djo Mpoyi was toooooo mussssshh.

@Siringi I'm shocked that you can edit my post so confirms my worst fears about wazua....Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly

but kingfisher my brother brought me back. So I'll stick to the these kind of posts from now onwards

The repeat was supposed to be

[YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fht6fhKeQ6[/YOUTUBE]

but I fear for the youth these days. for them success means singing one song with some nondescript american.

These motherf***ers used to have 5 albums a year.

Kingfisher, I'm open for business

forget the wazua IPO nonsence. Setup an oldies pub. Oldies have the money, can bring gashungwas and will never meander.

Who's for Kingfisher Oldies Pub?

Mr. King, unakumbuka wimbo huu?



Or do you remember this lady that Franco brought to our eyes

[YOUTUBE]http://youtu.be/2bnCqxAYf1s[/YOUTUBE]

But let's not forget Tabu Ley

If only he had business scence like Franco. That was a man who could suuuuung too. All he needed were 40 band members. Jaribu hiyo sahii with these dot coms.

Mokolo Nako Kufa is probably the best lamenting song in any language.

He stole it, but tell me which is better. Tabu Ley or Sam Mangwana

Mokolo nako Kufa

Quote:
The day I will day
The day of my death

The other day I was wondering
I dreamt as I was sleeping
Ah mother, the day of my death
The day I day, who will weep for me?
I don't know
Let me weep for myself
Death in the forest or in water?
Death by witchcraft or of illness
The day of my death, Mother



I love Sam Mangwana but for me Tabu Ley Wins

Jose: If I make it through this thug life, I'll see you one day. The Lord is the only way to stop the hurt.

Here's Sam Mangwana's version



I wonder, if our life in Kenya is all about Size8, namelees and his chick, sijui huddaa, mara octopussie, mara fimbo chapaa, why do you think we have suspects as presidents?

Our standards died.

If music and art dies, so does the society.

I will still remind you of this song next coz posting here is a problem

Toyeba Yo would be apt for Jubilee psychophants

We know you,all you do is reporting people.We know you all you do is take advantage of people maamaaa!!

Sung before most were born on this forum. I was so there and nimeona mengi and can still type faster than you.

You must love your country and Sam Mangwana, TPOK Jazz, Tabu Ley were all about ART. And art has no sacred cows.

I suuuung this song every day. Just to remind me as Magigi has found out with psychopant simonkabz, we aren't there yet.



Lady admin watch that song. You weren't even an egg or the liquid, but life is repeating itself.

RIP the best musicians and artists in the world. Washana na hawa nameless na taka taka ingine.

Tyco njoo hapa. For the yappies and the dot coms. This was 1966. I was 10 yrs old then.

Mokolo nakokufa, ngai moto ya mbongo

The day I will die, I the rich man

Nakanisa nini kaka mosolo o?

What will I think of, but my property?

Nakanisa lopango na bakaminyo

I'll think of my houses and lorries

Nakanisa bana ngai natinda kelasi koyekola

I'll think of the children I sent to school

Mokolo ya liwa, mama

The day of my death, mother

Mokolo nakokufa, ngai moto ya pauvre

The day I die, I the poor man

Nakanisa nini kaka bana na ngai?

What will I think of but my children?

Nakanisa kaka mpasi ya mokili ezali kotikala

I'll only think of the problems of the world that will be left

Mokolo Nakokufa

The day I die

Mokolo nakokufa ngai moto ya kwiti

The day I die, I the drunkard

Nakanisa kopo ya masanga na ngai

I'll only think of my glass of beer

Nakanisa nini kaka suka ya sanza

What will I think of but the end of the month

Tango namelaka ngai na baninga

When I used to drink with my friends

Sorry but sometimes we do have to thing about some shit.
