Review by Amy Dunbar

The album Untitled by Franco & L' OK Jazz is a masterpiece of Congolese rumba music. The album features 10 tracks that showcase the band's exceptional musicianship and Franco's unique vocal style. From the upbeat and danceable "Mario" to the soulful ballad "Simarro," each track on the album is a testament to the band's musical prowess.

The album opens with the lively track "Lisanga Ya Ba Nganga," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The song features Franco's signature guitar riffs and the band's infectious rhythms. The album's title track, "Untitled," is a hauntingly beautiful ballad that showcases Franco's emotive vocals and the band's ability to create a powerful atmosphere.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Bato Ya Mabe," which features a catchy chorus and a driving rhythm that is sure to get listeners moving. Another highlight is "Nalingi Yo Na Motema," a romantic ballad that showcases Franco's ability to convey emotion through his vocals.
