I really appreciate these 'enrichments'. <br /><br />As far as I am aware I have only the odd track by both artists, and usually on (otherwise boring) compilations.

Like Congo’s Franco, he took every opportunity to decry social vices, especially with respect to modern urban life, driving his message home with satirical but hard-hitting lyrics accompanied by the twist and rumba beats. His music was a mirror of the times and remains an all-time favourite. Most experts of Old-School Swahili pop music would rank him alongside Fundi Konde and Fadhili Williams (Alas, all three probably a tad outshone by Tanzania’s Mbaraka Mwinshehe).<br />@ Stefan:<br />If you’ve got some music by Fundi Konde and Fadhili Williams in your collection, perhaps you could consider sharing it at some point in the future.Timothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07304281344193138722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791963494354887351.post-44761100396598668682013-06-10T15:20:09.557-07:002013-06-10T15:20:09.557-07:00thank you!thank you!jan duinkerkenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09343102361942369343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791963494354887351.post-39700597508966580432013-06-10T02:19:51.028-07:002013-06-10T02:19:51.028-07:00Thanks Stefan - I am enjoying this!Thanks Stefan - I am enjoying this!Chris Albertynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18201820803406421446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791963494354887351.post-52134354811522713312013-06-09T10:22:23.650-07:002013-06-09T10:22:23.650-07:00A million thanks for unearthing this rare record! ...A million thanks for unearthing this rare record!
