VEGANGELICA,

You have a very interesting analysis. Well I can tell you that It is not just Kenya and Tanzania that speak Swahili. In Eastern part of Congo, Swahili is very much spoken in that area. My parents were born in the East Congo region. So they know swahili very well especially my mother.

Franco was making a point that a woman is a human being. Franco is saying that a woman has a right to choose to be with a man, or leave the man. I like that and that is part of why I am a major fan of Franco.

Pepe Kalle has a great voice and he knew how to English a bit. He mainly knew French and Lingala but he could also speak Swahili and Tshiluba. He was such a genius musician. He had a great voice. I wish he was alive today.

As for the gender thing, well here is a little known fact: Most African musicians tend to be Male even today. Now because almost all the songs are done by men, does it mean I only like male voices. I may favor male voices but that is when comes to African music. When it comes to American music, I tend to favor female singers more than male although there are lots of great male voices.

However I will try to find some good African songs by female. Unfortunately there is few female singers in the African music scene. I will soon post one song from a female this week.

Sincerely,

Franco Pepe Kalle

Girls are the sexy thing that God created.

Important to notice FPK.
