B.S.K. (Franco) / Mele (Lola Chécain) - Franco & le T.P. O.K. Jazz 1973-74

Both songs are reposts in much, much better quality than before. Both singles can be downloaded here: http://wrldsrv.blogspot.com/2009/12/s... . At the end of the clip is Sam Mangwana talking about Chécain (recorded 30-3-1997 in Amsterdam). Vocals to these songs: B.S.K.: Franco, with Chécain backing him during the first 90 seconds. Mele: First Sam Mangwana backed by Chécain, then, when Sam takes the solo, the chorus consists of Michèl Boyibanda and Chécain, but on some lines Lola still backs Sam as well. Probably with Simaro on guitar, Decca on bass, Dessoin on percussion, Ntoya on batterie (mainly rimshots I think). And last but not least an at the time gradually but surely expanding reed and copper section, Isaac Musekiwa, Dele Pedro, Rondot Kasongo, I suppose on saxes. Lola Chécain: wooden percussion near the end of Mele. Funny how the name change ("Tout Puissant" added), is already on this release for the Zairean market (the name Franco is avoided) from 1973, but the release for the international market from 1974 still has the old name, without the T.P.. piquedard translateted and explained B.S.K.: One word in Lingala may be translated in many different ways in English, thus for instance "Namoni bolingo ezali konana" = I see that love is stemming the current". Konana literally is used mostly about boats, but one must remember that boats didn't exist before the white man invaded Congo; people were using pirogues...so stemming the current by pirogues is tough...that why I translated "Namoni bolingo ezali konana by I can tell our love is dying..or is in trouble. I could give many examples like that but I think, in doing so, I'd "destroy" the very meaning of the song...Now of course I don't claim to be absolutely right, only I made my best and the best of the situation.
