Guys let us put credit where it belongs, the voice belongs to Mpongo ,the song belongs to Mayaula Mayoni,the horns belong to Empopo Loway and co..Mayaula composed,arranged and played guitar here.It is a common and best practice in Congo championed by Simaro,where he composes a song and gives to Madilu,Josky, Malage,Mangwana,Mpoyi,Ndombe etc to sing based on their voices.The brain behind this masterpiece is Mayaula,check his others songs and you will agree with me.He was a genius.
I read somewhere in wikipedia or so that this song condemns polygamy and that was the reason for its popularity in Zaire. Can some one please tell me which words in Lingala condemn polygamy in the song. My father was the son of the 5th wife, I am the sone of a seond wife and my wife's mother was the 3rd wife. The late cardional Otunga was the son of the 8th wife; President Obama is the son of 2nd wife. AND I will love Mpongo Love's song forever plus another day
this is my first time hearing of this song....but man oh man, this is genius, she was a genius, and you claim Rhihana, Beyonce can sing...this is sheer orgasmic. I dont even understand a word, but the arrangements are pure magic...damn, BEST SONG EVER. I CAN LISTEN TO IT OVER AND OVER.
Nice try. We used to dance to this music way back in the mid 70's while at school. Ndaiya was the icing after dancing to Kamiki, nyako konya and the rest of the 70, s lingala classics,
Thank you Ms bazu for putting my mum's music and i am thankful that her music will live forever. i am her daughter and i didn't get to live with her so her music is the only part that i relate too she was so beautiful inside out and once again thank you so much
@elaimesa1 WOW blessings this is ms bazu. i too lost my mother 10 years ago and one way i have tried to connect with her is through your mother's music and others. i am touched that i was able to bring you joy through your mother's music because her music brings me so much joy as well. peace and every blessing i will be sending you a message. bless :)
Best ever song by this great lady. Very sentimental, reminds me of the 1980s, growing up as a young boy in Uradi village. Wow! Thanks for the translation too, Malala.
i really like this album. I used to hear it when i was a little gal and i always thought that she was the best artist i knew then and eeven now and am a middle aged woman, she still makes me happy to hear her music. May the mpongo love spirit live on and on
@jnyerere....it is a pity that HIV/AIDS continues to claim good people but that does not mean that all prominent musicians (especially Congolese) have all died from AIDS ....Mpongo love had a myriad health issues but all we know is that she dies of typhoid fever not aids...let those congolese friends of yours prove it to you...
Malala, thanks for the translation. i loved this song, i became familar with it in the 80s while living with my cousin's husband in Buea. who happens to do his phd in Nairobi Kenya.
His love for her musics drawn me to it. I'm Pround to be an African.
mpongo love confirmed in this song how congolese women knows how to love for sure starting with my own mother 54 years of love with my dad.MPONGO MAY YOUR SOUL R.I.P
she's so beautiful. her music is so beautiful. its sad she had to die so young from AIDS, which her husband gave to her. very sad. I miss this type of music.
that us tru about the aids when i was young i remember my dad too talk about she died of some thing that i didnt understand at the time, i am angolan and my dad lived from sometimes in zaire coz of the war, he used to listen to this tune.
nice translation really! my mother sing this song at her mariage for my father good memories! but you should correct only one part, ndaya is not a name ndaya means "i swear". thanks for the song!
