He was 57 years old. A member of the beefy front line of singers of TPOK Jazz since 1980, Madilu [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday we featured Franco with fellow ex-OK Jazz member Sam Mangwana.  Today we'll have a listen to Franco with another one of his collaborateurs extraordinaire, Tabu Ley Rochereau of Africa Jazz fame.  The production is a little off but the energy and musicality of these two guys shines in this soukous track.  Nice harmonies over some electric guitar this time, and that rhythm you're hearing is a classic Zairean rumba-obenda.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today's pick changes the speed and style up a bit.  It's also my personal Franco favourite.  Why this is has something to do with the tone of one of the female backup's voice.  I can't quite figure out what it is that affects me so much, but regardless this track has been on heavy rotation as I wander around the grey Parisian side-streets.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After this nice daydream I realized that I haven't ever posted any Franco on this site.  The founder and over 30-year leader of Congo's famous OK Jazz dance band, Franco is one of Africa's greatest musicians and will therefore get the next three posts. ]]></description>
