Here's a rare and very good Franco album from 1987 called 'Ekaba Kaba'. The album was perhaps overshadowed by Franco's tour de force 'Attention Na Sida' which was released the same year. The album 'Ekaba Kaba' was never issued on CD or mp3, although the title track did appear on the CD
'AFRICAN CONNECTION VOL.1 : ZAIRE CHOC (CELLULOID CEL 66824-2)'. However this CD is now out of print, so the only way you can hear these tracks is by downloading them courtesy of our friends at global groovers.
