Le Grand Maitre Franco et Jolie Delta et Son Tout Puissant O.K. Jazz 12" Vinyl 1986 ESP8427
François Luambo Luanzo Makiadi (6 July 1938 – 12 October 1989) was a major figure in 20th-century Congolese music, and African music in general. He is widely referred to as Franco Luambo or, simply, Franco. Known for his mastery of rumba, he was nicknamed the "Sorcerer of the Guitar" for his seemingly effortless fluid playing. As a founder of the seminal group OK Jazz, he is counted as one of the originators of the modern Congolese sound.
His sound is referred to as Soukous - stripped down Rumba
On his death there was 4 days national mourning in Zaire
(E6)
