October 17, 2024 - 03:22 AM
FRANCO'S VERY FIRST SONG/S On November 17th and 18th 1953, Franco recorded his very songs. They were titled 'kombo ya loningisa' and 'lilima dis cheri was ngai'. Franco has partcipated in several recordings with the band the same year, but these weren't his compositions. The other members of the band were songbird Pauline Lisanga, Bikunda, Dewayon and others.

September 23, 2024 - 05:36 AM
IMPORTANT BITS ON THEM MUSHROOMS LEGEND. 1. Teddy Kalanda conceived the idea of composing 'hakuna matata' after he heard a European tourist attempt a conversation while performing in Mombasa in 1980.
