For those who don't know Nana Akumu. She was the one who sung with Baniel on the famous "Les Ont Dit" album, that got sampled alot by different artists.

Good to see her looking very good.

Before joining O.K Jazz she had a stint in Kenya singing for a group called Bana Ekanga.

She still has the moves as well...

The reason why Nana and Baniel were hired was because Jolie Detta left and Franco wanted to continue to have some female voices. So as result, he got luck and got Nana Akumu and Baniel on his corner. If Jolie Detta had stayed in OK Jazz, I am not sure if Baniel and Nana would have ever gotten a chance to sing in OK Jazz.
