Je suis née à brzazzaville vivant en France depuis 39ans et j’aime cette chanson, à cause de l’orateur Franco😊merci au Traducteur Lingala … vraiment 👍🌈

Mr Franklin Boukaka brought me here. Enjoy the Mother Africa's divine Music.

Sarcastic song that turned out to be one of the most beautiful songs he did.. He had to praise their 'Moi' to earn him freedom.. Congo political documentary has been my best in Africa.. From Lumumba to Kabila

This is the music that Franco had to compose for the dictator Mobutu inorder for him to be allowed back in Zaire. May Mobutu rest in Hell. He killed Patrice Lumumba because of greed for wealth.

When I will not be here 50 yrs to come I hope my son will appreciate such great legends.. My heart flows all the way from Homa Bay, Kenya to Zaire Congo daily listening to such pieces

Now I can sing along without making up words in luhya that were similar😅😅Thank you so much for the translation and the lyrics.

Just listen and forget it’s all about Mobutu. Great song and melody and one of the top best songs by Franco Luambo. I play it every week

Je suis Mobutu se se seko.depuis en école primaire. .cette chanson passé vers 7h00. Belle époque. .nous sommes ensemble.

Thanks alot, Imagine me from uganda singing along, Rhumba is great music

Franco ought to be recognized as one of the best African maestros that ever lived...his talent in incomparable!

Its only legends who comes up with such a composition. Do you realise 30 years on since Franco died the world is getting younger while we are aging and wearing away?Long live legend.

Mobutu was the sole candidate for presidency at that time. He, however, campaigned vigorously throught the country even when he knew he would automatically win the elections ! But I greatly love this Luambo's composition ! Great man !

Evergreen, all the time!

this is what i call music in the highest order.

5 years ago Congo is still where it was

Massive song indeed! Thanks @Ambrose Odhiambo for the translation. Franco is one of that rare breed of African musicians which include the likes of Yousou N'dour, Salif Keita, Thomas Mapfumo, Mahlatini, Nashil Pitchen Kazembe, Oliver Ngoma and others.

Whatever flows from deep down the heart is always true and philosophical no matter how the ordinary mind perceives it. Of course many in then Zaire would hate him for singing praises of Mobutu, a man they wanted out of power and dead at all costs. But today, over 35 years after, the people of themselves can tell themselves if there have been days in Zaire(now Congo DR) that compare to the beautiful old days of Mobutu Sese Seko. RIP Papa!

Franco luambo was forced by Mobutu to sing this praise song. Mobutu was very happy, invited him to the palace and made him free. Even after Franco's death Mobutu announces 4 days of national mourning. This song could fit a person like Mandela or Nyerere.

Your Mobutu is in power!

This music by a legend like Franco proved the nightmare musicians and artist across Africa faced during the dark ages of the cold war when all sorts of dictators hold firm across African. It must be harrowing for Franco and the OK Jazz having to sing praises to a monster and a killer like Mobutu in order to be free from going and rotting in jail if they fail to do so. Some artists have no choice then than to sang praises of this dictators in order just to eat (poverty) as Western Record Companies render them financially impotent and to become beggers.

IMMORTEL Grand Maître Franco Luambo Makiadi . Quelle Oeuvre !!!! Reposez en paix Ya Fuala Oncle Yorgho De Mi Amor . Vous avez bien accompli votre mission sur cette terre avec vos Chansons Intemporelles .
