Franco & le T.P. O.K. Jazz - Médecin de Nuit (Josky) pt. 1 Posted by: AboubacarSiddikh
Video duration: 301 seconds Global video hits: 1800 This song was never recorded by Franco & le T.P. O.K. Jazz but by Josky Kiambukuta and Ntesa Dalienst in 1986 in Brussels while the orchestre was in Zaire. So, this is a rare treat. The photos are from the same 6 hours and 50 minutes gig, (April 17, 1987, Salle d'Harlequin, Bruxelles), but not from the same song. We hear Josky, Malage de Lugendo, Djo Mpoyi and Ndombe Opetum.
