years ago, on the 12th of October 1989, François Luambo Makiadi - to his millions of fans known simply as Franco – died. In 2CDs of some of the most compelling music ever recorded, and including 48 pages of notes and rare photos, we tell the story of the final 9 years of Franco’s life: a time when he had some of his greatest hits, a time when he made some of his strongest statements. If you have any interest in music whatsoever – this is absolutely essential listening.
