RIP Lutumba Simaro Masiya 'Le Poete'
This is one musician who's life should be an example to the younger generation of musicians.
His loyalty to the band ( TP OK) and his friend Franco is legendary.
He was widely respected in his life due to the fact that he lived his life the way he sung. To him Music was life and his message reflected everyday life, and the musician's job was to point out the way of life to the listener.
Who will take drops of wisdom and put them into song for us now that he is no more?
It is a sad day one earth.
