Sukola Motema Olinga (Armando Brazzos) - Franco & L'O.K. Jazz 1970-1

Vocals: Youlou Mabiala & Michèl Boyibanda, guitars: Franco & Armando Brazzos, bass - Céli Bitshou, maracas - Ntoya, percussion - Dessoin, tenor sax - Isaac Musekiwa.

Note: Around this time there were three men in the orchestra who could play bass: Bitshou, Brazzos and Mpudi Decca. My guess on this one would be Bitshou.

Likewise, there were two men who could play rhythm guitar: Brazzos and Lutumba Simaro. On this one, my guess would be Brazzos. However, it is theoretically possible that Brazzos would play bass here and then it would have to be Simaro on rhythm guitar. Or Brazzos - guitar and Decca - bass. Also, there were two men who could play the solo guitar: Franco and Mose Fanfan. I think Franco played on this one.

The same goes for the tenor saxophone: I think this is Isaac, but since Verckys essentially copied Isaac Musekiwa and Isaac was still in the orchestra, although he had mostly played alto since the early sixties, it is also possible that Verckys plays the tenor here. But since this is a Brazzos composition and Brazzos had been with Franco since the 1950's, like Isaac had, and on listening I'm more inclined towards believing this is Isaac...
