An album released in 1988 by Franco, also known as François Luambo Makiadi Lokanga La Djo Pene, who played a key role in shaping the popular music of Congo since the 1950s, and his group T.P.O.K. Jazz. Featuring singer Pepe Ndombe as a guest, the album showcases a magnificent interplay of warm vocals between the two, delivering a captivating Rumba Congolaise/Soukous sound. The standout track on side B, "Tawaba," unfolds with a house-pitched, percussion-driven 4-beat rhythm throughout, making it absolutely fantastic.
