To commemorate the 20th anniversary of the death of the King of Congolese Rumba Grand Maitre ‘Franco’ Luambo Makiadi, and the release of the tribute double CD to the great man Francophonic, Odemba OK Jazz All-Stars will be touring throughout the UK.  

Led and conducted by guitarist and living legend Dizzy Mandjeku who was an original member of Franco’s OK Jazz, this magnificent 12 piece band is the original exponents of smooth big band ‘Franco style’ Congolese Rumba.  Other greats in the All-star line up include Malage De Lugendo, Nana and Baniel, Dele Pedro, and veteran Seigneur Lokombe all of whom are legends in their own right.  

Dominated by driving bass lines, amazing horn sections, powerful voices, and melodic guitar riffs that it appeals to all people of all ages and most of all it makes people dance like they have never danced before!
