Majestic Congolese 𝘳𝘶𝘮𝘣𝘢 with the legendary Franco and his Orchestre OK-Jazz.

Released on 𝘏𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘥𝘢𝘺 𝘐𝘯 𝘈𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘬𝘢, a great compilation (albeit with a questionable cover art!) of music from Congo (then Zaire) by the German branch of Columbia.

This song was a big Abdul Forsyth (aka Ade Fakile) classic at the seminal Balance night in London's Plastic People in the 00s. Find a tentative playlist from that party here: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPWysBN1oIX4kRnGlMauxsKdce2xoXrRu
