I hope all the Mothers had a wonderful Mother's Day yesterday. Happy Birthday to my little sister Zynia, today she turns 12 years old!! She's getting big! Enjoy your day, Baby Sis!
I am in the midst of listening to Werrason & Wenge Maison Mere: Mayi Ya Sika, Temps Present. Later this week I will have a review of this album and also reviews of other albums at a later date as I get my hands on newer music. I'm about a year late to hearing this album but as they say "Better late than never" :)
I will return with the 05.09.09 episode of Tambour d'Afrique soon. Stay tuned. Until then please listen to the Song of The Moment, "Le Petrolier" by Blaise Bula. Thank you for being a listener and a fan of Tambour d'Afrique!!
KWAMY MUNSI formally of OK JAZZ joins l'African Fiesta after a disagreement with FRANCO. On this song he claims the FRANCO is not as wealthy as he allegedly claims and goes around writing bad checks.
07 FRANCO & TP OK - CHICOTTE
FRANCO responds to KWAMY MUNSI'S claims with the song CHICOTTE (a chicotte is a type of whip). FRANCO speaks to KWAMY like a wayward child and reminds him that he created him and he can still "whip" him! At the end of the song SIMARRO LUTUMBA explains exactly where the beef started. KWAMY asked FRANCO for a new truck and when FRANCO refused he left OK JAZZ and wrote the song FAUX MILLIONAIRE. SIMARRO explains that it is only right that FRANCO respond with this song because KWAMY was spreading lies about the same person who gave him life as a performer.
08 FRANCO & TP OK JAZZ - COURSE AU POUVIOR
This is another song directed @ KWAMY. COURSE AU POUVIOR means "The road to power" roughly translated. Later KWAMY MUNSI would return to OK JAZZ as a vocalist.
