Was just wondering

I was going to say that Asian and African music is often hard for me to get into because it's so different, but that sounded wrong, and maybe even a little ignorant/ offensive.

Thanks!

It's a case of severe Finn syndrome: we tend to underestimate ourselves and apologize for our existence a lot. Sorry for that! And sorry for that sorry... damn, I'm just very very sorry for all of this! I'll go behind that couch to weep by myself now.

Why should that be considered ignorant/offensive? I can't get into every type of music produce in America why should that be ignorant/offensive to Americans?

Yeah, you're right.
It just puts me off a little when people dismiss "world" music as weird just because they won't bother to take the time to understand it. I used to, and it took me far too long to realize what I was missing by being closed minded. That attitude just seems ignorant to me.

Well guys, if you desire some good cuban music, I got some that I have luckily found from a hispanic friend. This song is unique. Carlos Puebla. He made a great song that I love to sing myself.

ENJOY

I also dig some great Cuban music and other latin music.

So you got me. Franco and Pepe Kalle are great genius.

So what are your favourite Franco tunes? Do you recommend any particular albums?

I am not sure if I can say albums but I do got songs I recommend of Franco

Here they are

I did five because four of the songs from Franco are above 10 minutes but all of them in my view are classic songs.

The major problem is that with Franco, there are so many messup with Franco's songs. Franco is a Congolese music and unfortuantely he lived at the time where CDs were not that common. Franco died in 1989. After that during the early 1990s, then CDs became acceptable. Franco's songs have been mixed together. Sometimes you get a 1970s song from Franco but you may also have a 1980s song on the next album of Franco.

A good example of mixups of this is Franco's 3rd anniversary Death of GRAND MAITRE YORGHO

Tres Impoli
Kadima
Non
Friens A Main
Ayant Droit
Heritier

Blue= 1984 Lp MAMOU
Green= Lp "FRANCO MEMORIALIAM"
Red= 1983 Lp CHEZ FABRICE
Purple= 1980 Lp EN COLORE VOL. 3

See these six songs don't come from the same works but 4 different sets. That is why there is not really a Franco album that is a proper album but album combined with random songs together.

Thanks. I see the problem. Guess I'll have to settle for a good compilation.

There is surprising info about this man. You think he only likes Franco and Pepe Kalle but when you find out that he hears other artists, you are shock. Girls are the sexy thing that God created. Important to notice FPK.
