@otienood3ra So alluring and enticing

Despite their face value translations, 'Mosala etindi' & 'Makambo maneno' by Luambo are infatuation songs modelled on married women🤣. Enticing lyrics, pampering & babying married women in the context of 'love'. The Swahili words that are so enticing and equally provocative🤣

Afro Fiesta Populaire aka the Popular African Fiesta was founded by Faugus Izeidi in 1971 after leaving Tabu Ley's African Fiesta National towards the late 1960s. Faugus even incorporated Madilu System though for a short spell in his new outfit that is characterized by a

Franco Luambo mentored his kid brother, Bavon Marie. Docteur Nico and Dechaud Mwamba proved a perfect match alongside Faugus and Roger Izeidi across the music of Clan African Jazz. Notwithstanding the invaluable contributions of the Moutouari brothers, Pierre, Cosmas & Michel💃🕺
