Hello everyone. I hope you are well. I am doing a controversial post. I mean two. It is about Franco and Pepe Kalle. I did posts of Franco vs Pepe Kalle. This time I will speak on Pepe Kalle being a employee of Franco. I said that. Well I don't think that but there are people that say that Pepe Kalle would have been better under someone else. There are some who say that Pepe Kalle would have better been with Franco and there are some who say that Pepe Kalle was good on his own.
This case will be about on why Pepe Kalle should have joined OK Jazz of Franco?
I will give you seven reasons why Pepe Kalle should have joined Franco's Le TPOK Jazz.
1) Felicity of bringing younger singers more easily
2) Pepe Kalle was a team player
3) Franco has one less group to worry about
4) Pepe Kalle is hard working and Franco loves a hard worker.
5) Pepe Kalle would have brought more animations for OK Jazz.
6) Tabu Ley would have been tempted to get someone like Nzaya Nzayadio into Afrisa since he sounds similar to Pepe Kalle.
7) Pepe Kalle is a second voice singer.
The last reason is actually very important to state this. Well for me anyway, I always considered and still consider Franco to also be a second voice range singer. But there are Franco fans say that actually Franco was a tenor type of singer not baritone as I believe.
For those who say that Franco was a tenor type of singer, there are moments where that does seems to be the case. I will show where their arguments do hold.
FIFI NAZALI INNOCENT FROM SIMARO
CEDOU
AZDA
NON
These songs show where Franco sings higher than someone else. Whether you are speaking of Youlou Mabiala, Josky Kiambukuta, Vicky Longomba, Michel Boyibanda or Madilu System which half are natural tenorists.
But there is one song where Franco would have been better singing tenor the whole time in harmony. That song is La Vie Des Hommes.
This song is where it would have been better done with Pepe Kalle than it was with Madilu though Madilu did a great job with the song. Franco made a great song of La Vie des hommes. But if Pepe Kalle had sung this instead, Franco would have been more inspired not only to harmonize with Pepe Kalle but he would sing tenor the whole time. Perhaps it would show better Franco's tenor voice that he had.
Since Pepe Kalle is truly a second voice singer, his voice would have pushed Franco's desire to go back to tenor. That is probably why Franco wanted Pepe Kalle into OK Jazz and why he decided to add Madilu. But Madilu was better singing higher than Pepe Kalle though Pepe Kalle had moments where he could sing high. Listen to him with Tabu Ley. Back to Franco and Pepe Kalle, Pepe's second voice being perfect would have helped Franco at moments where he sang low then he would sing high again. I will give two examples where he would have been great with tenor with assistance of Pepe Kalle.
PEUCH DE SOL
NALINGAKA YO YO TE
These songs would have been better done with a voice of Pepe Kalle. I can imagine Franco's tenor shining much more. I will go deeper into analysis on dream duet post of Franco and Pepe Kalle.
Also, if Pepe Kalle had been in OK Jazz, he would have been also very comfortable with voices of Djo Mpoyi and Ntesa Dalienst whom I will speak of them with Pepe Kalle in dream duets.
Pepe Kalle would be a good alternative choice for OK Jazz when Josky does not want to sing. Like example, we can put Pepe Kalle with Wuta Mayi, Ndombe and Ntesa or Diatho Lukoki, Wuta Mayi and Djo Mpoyi. In a Franco lead song, we can hear a voice of Pepe Kalle with Ndombe and Ntesa or Djo and Ndombe or Wuta and Ntesa or Wuta and Djo.
Pepe Kalle came from Africa Jazz school and Franco loved that music so much that if Pepe Kalle had joined OK Jazz, he would put Empire Bakuba influence into great blast with more uptempo songs and I know Franco would excel on it with the sebenes. Pepe Kalle would have given many animations for OK Jazz.
Franco and Pepe Kalle dream duet will be next.
