Mario (Franco & TPOK Jazz) Cover by Shama

This song is very special to me. It was the first Rumba song I ever learnt, and the one which began my journey into African music. Franco has been one of the greatest inspirations in my musical career, and so I am very proud to share this tribute to him, with one of his greatest hits ‘Mario’ (1986).
I hope you like this video. Remember that I will be releasing more original music and covers in the coming weeks, so if you want to hear more, please follow my Facebook and Instagram channels @shamathemusician. Thank you!
