Nelson Nelsen :
Fabrice was a master tailor whose shop in Brussels was nicknamed "Magasin Monene" (The Big Shop). He became legendary for designing and tailoring abacost suits—a distinctive, high-collared garment that symbolized authentic Zairean (Congolese) identity and status during the ruling era of President Mobutu Sese Seko. Because elite Congolese politicians, diplomats, and wealthy businessmen frequently traveled to Europe to buy their wardrobe from him, Fabrice wielded immense influence over the fashion trends of Zaire. The phrase "Fabrice akende sango" translates from Lingala to "Fabrice has become famous" or "Fabrice has made headlines".Franco, leading his iconic band Le T.P. OK Jazz, actually released a trilogy of songs dedicated to his friend's tailoring empire over a ten-year span.

1988 was the recording. It was released in 92 after the master had died 3 years prior.

Nelson Nelsen :
In the lyrics, Franco sings that anyone looking to dress with true elegance, prestige, and charm must bypass all other shops, travel to Brussels, and "Go to Fabrice" to get measured for a custom suit. Franco also highlights Fabrice's humility, singing that despite his massive success among global ambassadors and civil servants, Fabrice credits his wealth and growth entirely to his loyal Zairean clients.
