Happy birthday to the greatest composer and band manager this genre has ever seen.
It's quite telling how he looks better and is in better health than the old Ok Jazz members who still live in Europe.
This man is the greatest example one can give African Musicians to emulate :
1. He managed the Kin TPOK Jazz faction very well
2. Loyalty to Franco was unquestioned
3. Never entered any controversy, preferring to leave OK to those who wanted to fight over it
4. Very respected by all musicians, I have never heard a bad word said about him in the forty years I have followed TPOK
May he live to be a Hundred years!
Happy Birthday Le Poet Papa Lutumba
