Dream Duet: Defao and Franco

 


Hello everyone. We have a Franco special duet edition only. We will have two people under this great edition of the biggest legend in Congolese Music. These men come from the Zaiko generation. I have found two people that I think would have given Franco a great time. First individual came from Grand Zaiko of Pepe Felly who was a big Franco fan. He also went to sing with Choc Stars for some significant time before shining on his own. He has a similar voice to Pepe Kalle who he would sing with at one point before he would leave and form his own band. 

I am speaking of General Defao. He is making new music and he is already promoting some new songs with some notable great individuals. Those who don't know, Defao was good with soukous songs as well as generiques. His generiques were on top during the late 1990s. 

Defao and Franco would have been a good duo because Defao sounds similar to Pepe Kalle. Since Franco sang with Madilu who many say sound similar to Pepe Kalle, Franco would have better chemistry with a singer like Defao. Though Defao is second voice, he can sing high to some degree and he was very effective during the 1980s when he was with the Choc Stars. But also Defao can sing low very effectively which he did with Carlyto and Debaba. Franco would find more musical flexibility not only song style but singing wise as well. Like if Franco wanted a fast paced song, Defao would perfect to help Franco in the singing of this affair. Also Defao would have benefited of singing with Franco in a slow ballad song. 

Two songs that would have benefited Defao and Franco. 

Slow song is Bella Bella's song by Tonton Ricos
MARCELUI 


Fast song is Choc Stars' song by Monza Premier 
EVE


Why those two songs in fact. Because it would have shown the good emotional musical connection between Defao and Franco since they knew how to reach people's hearts. Marcelui would be where Franco can sing high but his own way as well as Defao showing his lower range. On the song Eve, Franco and Defao would have had a better harmony as well as Franco improving the song Eve. Monza was good but Franco would have made this song a bit better. 

Defao and Franco would have been a entertaining duo in my opinion. This is the first part series of Franco in the dream duet edition.
