1993 release.
Bana OK
present
Bakitani
. When the colossus of Congo,
Franco Luambo
, died in 1989, the great band he had led for more than 30 years,
OK Jazz
, was of course, devastated. But its members survived their enormous loss and lived to rock another day. Nine of the best of them carried on as Bana OK - "Children of OK" - and sustained the signature tout puissant ("all-powerful") sound of their late master's band. The leader was saxophonist and composer
Rondot Kasongo Wa Kasongo
, who had long been Franco's right-hand man. Three more of these "children" were veteran guitarists
Fan Fan Sesengo
,
Papa Noel
and
Thierry Mantuika
. And the singers included the female star of the last years of OK Jazz,
Baniel Mbambou
, and the heartthrob tenor
Malage de Lugendo
.
Bakitani
would have made Franco proud.
