If he were alive, what would he be doing?
It is a tough question but based on Franco's life, I find two scenarios.
Scenario One: Franco being a politician in DRC (Democratic Republic of Congo)
Franco could have been a politician since he did make a lot of songs where he spoke of CEOS and how bad politicians can be. He often spoke against the establishment referring to them as "Animals" and "shameful" in figurative terms. Franco could have been a congressman and he would be a effective congressman of opposition. Because he would have tried hard to make sure the citizens have chances like the politicians.
Scenario: Franco would continue OK Jazz as a musician or CEO with his son Emongo as his manager
Franco I believe would continue OK Jazz. Prior to Franco's death, he made it clear that he wanted OK Jazz to continue to do without him. Manzenza alluded to this in a interview. His son Emongo actually leads a new OK Jazz group right as a manager.
If Franco was a musician, then he would play a less role as a mentor helping musicians get their shine on. Franco would probably play guitar and sing less than he did during the 1980s. He would have had some amazing vocalists to give a good surround for Franco. I think that would the be scenario if Franco was a "Musician".
If Franco was purely doing business. He would be officially be a CEO of the OK Jazz with a new leader to oversee all the musicians or be a leader while being a musician. It is very likely that Franco would have made a company and business purely based on OK Jazz and it would be his bread and butter. This way it would be Franco officially calling the shots now in more of his terms than he did as a musician. Then his son Emongo would be a manager of the musical group of OK Jazz.
