}}Simaro Massiya Lutumba Ndomanueno (19 March 1938 – 30 March 2019), popularly known as Simaro, was a Congo music rhythm guitarist, songwriter and bandleader in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).[1] He was a member of the seminal Congo music band TPOK Jazz which dominated the Congolese music scene from the 1960s through the 1980s.[2]

Early life

Simaro was born in Angola's Maquela do Zombo District. His Angolan parents migrated to Congo Kinshasa, where he started his musical career.{{cn|date=April 2019}}

Music career with OK Jazz

According to Simaro, he joined Luambo Makiadi in 1961. Later Josky Kiambukuta joined them, and later still Ndombe Opetum came along. For a while, Youlou Mabiala and Madilu System played with OK Jazz, before they launched their own solo careers. For many years, Simaro served as the Vice President of the band and led the group during Franco's long trips to Europe during the 1980s. In 1974, he composed the band's hit song "Mabele" sung by Sam Mangwana, which earned him the nickname "Poet". In the late 1970s he was jailed at Makala Prison, along with Franco and other musicians, over two songs deemed obscene by the authorities. According to pundits, Lutumba is considered as one of the greatest poets, singers and philosophers of Congo music.[2]

Music career post OKJazz

Following the death of Franco in 1989, Simaro met with the family of the late band leader and agreed to split revenue 70% to 30% with the family. Simarro would take care of the musicians and the family would take care of the lawyers, record labels and other technical stakeholders. However, in 1993, OKJazz split up over disagreements in the way funds were being shared. In January 1994, Simaro formed Bana OK, with the majority of the musicians from OKJazz, about thirty of them.[3]

Death

Simaro Massiya Lutumba died in a hospital in Paris, France, on Saturday 30 March 2019. The cause of death of the music legend, who was known to suffer from diabetes and hypertension, was not immediately known.[4]
