It is an astoundingly great commemorative.<br />I spent last week listening to Franco and OK Jazz songs in preparation for a program on radio in USA this coming Sunday. I'm going to incorporate some of these gems, or I'm just going to refer people here as there's nothing I can do to equal the value of this post.DJ Daudihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18265562873315908794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791963494354887351.post-72722437952634236162014-10-13T14:34:18.562-07:002014-10-13T14:34:18.562-07:00Great !!!

I am so happy to hear some old TPOK stuff which I did not know yet. Can't anyone with some money sponsor this type of efforts to preserve this work. I do not mind the cracks and the pops but I think that a least a FLAC or ALAC file should be made to preserve this.

I should have figured you'd show up with a commemoration to beat the band (as it were). Ay ay ay! <br /><br />God bless you for these rare OK Jazz tracks. It never ceases to astonish me that despite the many 100s (?) of LPs and CDs reissuing earlier material by this band, that there remain so many extraordinary recordings that have never left the 78 and 45 rpm formats. I don't know if this is a symptom of the general collapse of the Congolese society or of the indifference of European record labels or some combination thereof. But as you say these recordings should have UNESCO protection.<br /><br />As for the "English" in some tracks, it seems of the same character as the "Spanish" in other Congolese songs of the period, that is, almost pure gibberish that has some phonemes and words familiar from English-language music that Franco et al would have been listening to. As an English speaker I find listening to this greatly enjoyable... a view of how those who don't speak English may hear us.<br /><br />Once again, God bless.Jonahnoreply@blogger.com
