1 Lokombe Ntal, 2. Makosso Kindudi, 4 Lola Checain, 6 Diatho Lukoki

3) Franco Mongo. Joined after Franco’s death but died soon after. He was to fill Franco’s singing and lead/mi-solo role. Rumor has it he was cursed for filling Luambo’s shoes.

7) I believe is Diatho from 10 years prior.

I Think No. 5 is Wuta Mayi

Thanks to everyone for the names!

I think nr. 5 cannot be Wuta Mayi. He looks different:

That's why I found it odd this Franco Mongo guy is there in the video. I did not remember any musicians who looked like him, but I understand now. It is amazing how similar his voice is to Franco's. Only his manner is different.

Diatho: indeed, the photos are a decade apart, but I have never wondered until now when checking that these two figures are actually one figure indeed.

One interesting thing with this great band, All these great men, where are their families? I mean all these guys couldn't give us just one successful artist?

Depends on what you mean by successful.

Baby Ndombe (Pepe Ndombe) is probably the most successful offspring of OK Jazz when he joined Wenge MM but his stock diminished after he left.

Christy Lova (Ya Ntesa Dalienst) last I heard is signed to F’Victeam



Eric Mpoyi (Djo Mpoyi) does shows in Kinshasa doing OK Jazz songs through his cover band Djo Mpoyi Mania. He sounds just like his father, and his band are the closest to OK Jazz you’re going to get right now. He briefly sang in OK Jazz, the current generation, managed by Franco’s son Emongo, who also runs the Un, Deux, Trois night-club. Josky Kiambukuta has been mentoring Eric and the band.

I think Baby Ndombe is actually the son of Pepe Ndombe Opetum?

LOl Bro all those people you mentioned are NOT successful.

You asked where are the families I answered that question.  The oniy successful artist was Baby Ndombe, 20 years ago. You and I both know these WMM solo acts don’t last, especially when bridges are burned.
