This was the TPOK Jazz tour of Kenya in 1991.
The concert was held prior to the Super Cup
match between Gor Mahia and Rivatex. In this pic
are Josky, Madilu and Ndombe opetum. After the
tour, TPOK Jazz lost all their money to a
conmann after they had been paid by the
promoter. They swore never to visit Kenya again.
This was the cover of one of the last albums
that TPOK Jazz released before there was a
falling out with Madilu and Franco's family on
one side and Simaro, Josky and Ndombe Opetum on
the other side.
TPOK Jazz folded in 1993 due to disagreements
between bandmembers and franco's family. Josky,
Simaro and Ndombe Opetum then formed a new band
called Bana oK
For most of the 1990s, the trio of Ndombe
Opetum, Simaro and Josky toured and recorded
together as Bana OK, this was after TPOK Jazz
folded in 1993
As of 2015, Dizzy Madjeku (far right) still
performs concerts in Brussels , leading a band
known as Odemba OK Jazz. The band also features
Nana Akumu and Baniel Bambo (far left) and
occasionally Malage de Lugendo (centre)
