...wow that sound of saxo,that rythm,that voice its so fantastic.i just wonder why talented congolease singers no live longer?all those voices which shaked end promoted congolease culture around the world from 1975 to 90 are currently counted among the deads...mpongo love,abeti and others,all those voices were really exceptional in terms of singing...i can just say may your souls rest in peace close to the lord.
sublime!!!this song takes my breath away........mr Keino one big thanks !...by the way is there one small small chance of you posting a number which goes like this..."TINA TINA TINA NJOO TURUNDIANE" thanx in advance... ..jadepaige(facebook)
this song takes me back the sweet days of childhood when all we knew was bliss and innocence. running around and the love for friends was exactly that, love.
@njiraini100: hey your name kind a sound familiar. Exactly where did you complete your primary education? I have a feeling i may know you. Please, get back to me.
If u've bn 2 Kenyatta University, u'll find a lady lecturer who sings with th staff band or Eshikumo. I shed tears watching her do this song during a graduation ceremony. Tht lady does this song piece-4-piece. Orgasmic!
In 1979 she toured Uganda. I was a little boy in Moroto Primary School in Grade 6. I saw her play live. It was a memorable occasion. I had never heard such an angelic voice, the music speaks for itself. They did not have computers to arrange the music, yet she produced music that is eternal for generations to come. Even at my tender age I thought she was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. Ndaya is a piece of music that draws tears in my eye whenever I hear it. Go well Queen!

(Biography from .talktalk dot co uk) Born M'Pongo Landu, 5 June 1956, Kinshasa, Zaire, d. 1989. Crippled by polio as a young child, but, determined to become a professional vocalist, Love overcame her disability and began working at the nightclubs in the Zairean capital of Kinshasa in her mid-teens.
By the mid-70s she was known throughout the country as La Voix Du Zaire, and in 1977 was invited to represent her country at the pan-African arts and culture festival, FESTAC, in Lagos, Nigeria, where she appeared alongside OK Jazz.
She released her first album, L'Afrique Dance, the same year. On the 1980 set La Voix Du Zaire she was accompanied by a galaxy of stars including Jules Kamga, Vicky Edimo and Eko Roosevelt - some of whom were also featured on the follow-up Femme Commercante.
In 1984, she drafted in Les Quatre Etoiles' Bopol and Wuta May for the superb Basongeur. Later that year, she toured widely in Europe, supporting fund-raising activities for the International Year Of The Child.She died unexpectedly in 1989, following the release of the critically-acclaimed Partager.
Superbe orchestration ! Les Kinois sont les meilleurs . Ils sont parvenus à réaliser de grandes et belles prouesses musicales et artistiques avec très peu de moyens. Ils sont très créatifs et doivent avoir un don évident en matière culturelle.
This song reminds me of my late Dad and his wonderful friends...I listened to it home, in the car, when he took us to school, church etc... makes me wanna cry yet happy too...I miss U Dad...God bless U,,
C'est a moi de vous remercier. En fait c'est par vous que j'apprends le deces de Mayaula Mayoni. Je sais qu'il etait malade. C'est dommage. Je vous remercie pour le l'emission Bakulutu.Je vais la regarder. En Caroline du nord ou je reside depuis des annees, c'est difficile de suivre la chronique musicale Africaine. Mayaula etait un grand compositeur, ses textes etaient tres bien ecrits et je pense que the TP OK JAZZ etait une tres grande ecole de musique.
J'ai la chair de poule quand j'ecoute cette chanson preferee de MA TRES CHERE MAMAN qui quitta ce monde sans voir exactement vu ce que son fils que je suis est devenu.. maintenant que je suis devenu un Monsieur pere de famille circulant dans tous les 5 continents.Maman chaque fois que je suis dans un avion et regardant dans les hublots je pense toujours a toi, j aurai bien voulu que je te fasse visiter le monde...mais helas! Ma seule consolation ma fille ainee qui est ta photocopie.RIP Maman!
Though i speak nor understand Lingala, i love and feel this song! It takes me back to childhood, i remember my Father and late Mother in the living room grooving to this fabulous song. My parents spent time in Zaire and fell in love with the music made there, i'm a grown man now, with a baby boy whom i will introduce to this style of pure African Music. African Till I Am Dead Buried
i wasn't born when this song came out, but it is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever listened to. I love Afrika. Nakupenda sana Afrika. She must have been a beautiful person when she was alive...I can tell from her voice and charisma.
Can someone remind me which band she belonged to? she has the best voice, the very voice that make us v,ery unique. History says that music or singing originated from the Bantus of Central $ Southern Africa, if it's true then this is testament to to it. Mpongo, Baniel, Nana, Mbilia and Yvonne Chaka Chaka were great. This may explain why the best singers in the west too are of African origin.
In 1999 my high school in Meru [Kenya] performed this classic as a set piece and won either the national title or second runners up. I doubt a Bebe Cool, Amani or any other 'hip-hop artiste's song will ever do the same.
Thank you God for Africa, and for the beatifulAfrican people, and culture and songs, (why do i want to cry? because nawapenda sana from the bottom of my heart) thank you KBC
@coyoluo I am trying to share these good old days memories at onlinekwetu. I grew up listening to these wonderfull songs, didn't care who or where musicians came from, West or East. Music was simply excellent.
band of talented artists produced this master piece where sax, keyborad and good lyrics for the best female singer the Dr congo, have ever produced,Mpongo Love, la voix la plus limpide d'afrique
@moranih Above on You tube search ...type....Mpongo Love (English) The song will appear....sung by her in Lingala... but someone has done a good job of writing the English lyrics/ words for those of us who are not good in Lingala..Cheers and enjoy...
Mpongo Love wasn't blind. However she was striken with poli and used the weelchair at certain point. In the end, after some medical help, she was able to walk with help.

Wimbo huu unampangilio murua sana. Usanii wa hali ya juu zaidi. Wanikumbusha nikiwa mchanga miaka ya themanini huko Kitale Kenya haswaa wakati wa shamrashamra za Krisimasi. RIP Mpongo love
Sina mengi but we can reclaim our past with the sweet memories everyone had back then yes we are out of our motherland but let us save and re invest there when we are in our fifties we shall relax and listen to these songs and smile, Aluta Continua
so beautifully wrote and sang. brings back painful and sweet memories of when I was with my first love. She is gone, I am still here...so is the song. thanx bwana Keino for bringing this one down from storage.
na yebaki suka se ko tingamaeee ya ngai na mobali na ngai pantalon mokaba mamaaaaa to balana to sukisa lilobela oyo ya batu libala ya ngai na cheri suka lilita ma.....suka na gout
Kwa msioelewa Kifaransa (hata mimi ila nafikiri jamaa wameandika hivyo) ni kuwa huu wimbo alitunga Mayaula Mayoni na ukisikiliza vizuri utamsikia anaimba kwenye kiitikio. Yap, na mie unanikumbusha mbali sana kwani Tanzania ilikuwa Big hit.
Mkuu, mie nilikuwa na miaka kama 10 hivi, si mbali sana na wewe maana nilikuwa kwenye kijiji karibu saana na kimji (wilaya) ya Sikonge, mkoa wa Tabora. Dada mmoja alikuja na kitep recorder na cassete ya wimbo huu. Nilikuwa nashinda kwake hadi nikamaliza bettry. Sikufahamu tu kuwa kumbe huu wimbo kaandika na kaimba Shimita. Asante Bwana Keino kwa kutuma.
Kiboko yao!!!!mamangu alikuja kunitembelea huku ng'ambo nikamwekea hii akasima akaanza kuchezaa!!!Nililia kwa furaha. Mama alikuwa ngonjwa likini alicheza. sasa namkosa kwa vile alirudi.
hii kitu ya Mpongo Love ilikuwa 'ahead of time' kwa 'beats' tamu hasa hasa faxaphones na bass gitaa, mimi 'Ndaya' nauweka katika grupu moja na wimbo 'Africa' wa Franklin Bokaka. Mie nimezaliwa miaka ya 1970s lakini nakubali hizo nyimbo za zamani zinazodumu miaka na miaka.
Love Mpongo pourquoi tu ns a quitté si tot? I wish u still alive. Ta musique nous manque tellement....ca me rapel tellement de choses et puis mon Congo me manque vraiment, c'est difficile de vivre en étranger..
Maman love n'importe ou tu dois etre sait que tu es toujours un monument inoubliable partout au monde ou les Kongolais sont ´eparpie a cause de monsieur Mobutu.
la chanson a ete pluto ecrit par le profeseur Empopo lowayi,c'est lui meme qui es a l'auteur de la carriere musical et presque tout les chansons interpreter par Maman Landu Mpongo Love. Serge Kimwanga
apparement,il ya une confusion qui se pose,pcq recement ckimwanga disait que la dite chanson etait ecrite par empompo lowayi,par contre blaise6407 dit qu'elle est de mayaula mayoni.donc j'ose croire qu'il nous faudra si possible,une autre personne pour nous eclairer sur ce sujet.merci quand meme a blaise6407
Merci Zaico 1. Vous pouvez regarder sur la discographie de Mayaula Mayoni. Il a ecrit beaucoup de chansons...Je peux vous citer Nabali Mizere, Momi, Cherie Bondowe etc...
Empompo Loway a joue un grand role dans la carriere de Mpongo love....mais j'insiste une fois de plus que Mayaula est bel et bien the compositeur de Ndaya. Son talent est incontestable...
@Blaise6407 nous avions enfin moi et kimwanga1 par ton aide trouver que la chanson etait belle et bien de mayaula,sur le site top congo il ya une emission bakulutu la tu trouveras une emission special en son homage.tres bonne emission des amoureux de la bonne musique et en plus c'est grace a cette emission que je sus qu'il a été aussi l'auteur de la chanson baninga nasi nabali chanter par tshala muana et un peu decouvert sur sa personne et son passé footballistique.merci mon frere.bless you
@zaico Apres avoir fait de recherche, J'ai comfirme que la chanson est belle est bien du feu Mayaula mayoni est non D'empopo, J'avoue que mon con frere Blaise a raison, merci la verite finir tjr par trionfer. kimwanga
@kimwanga1 cher ami je me rappel avoir dit que cette chanson etait ecrite par le poete simaro mais helas non elle est belle est bien du regretter mayaula mayoni avec raymond lema(ray) au piano et empopo a la saxophone,suzi kasseya et autres.par contre la chanson ecrite par le poete lutumba etait monama elima ya mayi.visite le site top congo cherche l'emission bakulutu va sur hommage a mayaula,tu en sauras plus.merci t'es vraiment un amoureux de la bonne musique.je te suis reconnaissant .bless u
tusemeje,1989 nilikua class 5.mazee hii song inalete huo mwaka very very close to me..nakumbuka kukaa kitchen the whole family kutegea matha amalize kupika chapo na ndengu (pojo)
Many memories.I never knew what the song meant but I can tell you reading the translation just now is like I knew! When in Nairobi, go to a night club called SIMMERS,has a nightly live music, three bands alternate playing all the old classics like this one. Recently I saw Super Mazembe there. the great invasion of Zairean music in Kenya in 1970s, 1980s left a great legacy in Nairobi. other than Kinshasha, Nairobi was second home to Lingala music, may be more than Paris.
Avez-vous Basongeur, Femme Commercante, Marketing International....? Postez-les s'il vous plait. Nous mourons d'ecouter cette voix qui nous a envoutes en Cote d'Ivoire. Merci Bwanakeino de nous connecter avec le continent et ses tresors. Par ailleurs avez-vous Houleux houleux de Soki Vangu, Independance Chacha etc..?
How nostalgic...a popular one on Kenya's VoK those old days. One of the best: loved it then, still love it now. Thanx also for posting basic translation.
je viens juste de connaitre la musique de mamane M pongo je savais qu'elle etait decédé. suis tres affecté une dame qui savait faire de la musique. Un grincement de coeur et des larmes au yeux.
That sax is Empompo Lowayi, the one and only Lowayi. Empompo was Mpongo Love's memtor and artistic director, the maestro... he too past on the world of our ancestors.
Thanks Inocenti. Please post Basongeur, femme commercante, marketing international and others. Thanks for the memories of this charming woman full of live who seduced all the ivorian.
I am priviledged to have the songs you've just mentioned on a CD (not "Marketing international", which I only have on an old tape). I can make you a copy if you want, or try to send one or two by e-mail.
Ndaya by Mpongo Love.Translated for engish friends
Iknew that we will finally stick together, my husband and I, like a belt with a pent. We got married, stoped the empty talkers.This marriage of us till dearth do us apart.
Oh me Ndaya, I know no rival.This marriage of mine knows no unfaithfulness.
In this marriage of mine I'm firmly rooted like a flag with my lifted arm, Let them talk, they will be ashamed. They schemed but lost at last.
As my heart goes on, I'm reassured of my man's love.
We did this as a "set piece" at the Kenya music festivals for companies way back in '97.Nobody beats the legend of lingala romance:Mpongo Love-Tres bien!!
C'est la première chanson de Mpongo Love que j'ai apprise et à l'epoque j'étais à New York et j'avais oublié le lingala, mais je chantais cette chanson sans la comprendre! La voix la plus limpide du Zaire!!! Kitoko trop!!!
Thank you soo much for posting this video. I first heard this song when I was really young. For 37 years I've had this song stuck in my mind but never quite knew the artist. This is priceless. God bless bwanankeino.
This one brings back memories - the good and bad times in the late seventies during the reign of Idi Amin.

Kwa msioelewa Kifaransa (hata mimi ila nafikiri jamaa wameandika hivyo) ni kuwa huu wimbo alitunga Mayaula Mayoni na ukisikiliza vizuri utamsikia anaimba kwenye kiitikio. Yap, na mie unanikumbusha mbali sana kwani Tanzania ilikuwa Big hit.

Mkuu, mie nilikuwa na miaka kama 10 hivi, si mbali sana na wewe maana nilikuwa kwenye kijiji karibu saana na kimji (wilaya) ya Sikonge, mkoa wa Tabora. Dada mmoja alikuja na kitep recorder na cassete ya wimbo huu. Nilikuwa nashinda kwake hadi nikamaliza bettry. Sikufahamu tu kuwa kumbe huu wimbo kaandika na kaimba Shimita. Asante Bwana Keino kwa kutuma.

hii kitu ya Mpongo Love ilikuwa 'ahead of time' kwa 'beats' tamu hasa hasa faxaphones na bass gitaa, mimi 'Ndaya' nauweka katika grupu moja na wimbo 'Africa' wa Franklin Bokaka. Mie nimezaliwa miaka ya 1970s lakini nakubali hizo nyimbo za zamani zinazodumu miaka na miaka.

zaico1 3 years ago
Merci Zaico 1. Vous pouvez regarder sur la discographie de Mayaula Mayoni. Il a ecrit beaucoup de chansons...Je peux vous citer Nabali Mizere, Momi, Cherie Bondowe etc...
Empompo Loway a joue un grand role dans la carriere de Mpongo love....mais j'insiste une fois de plus que Mayaula est bel et bien the compositeur de Ndaya. Son talent est incontestable...
Merci et portez vous bien.

Many memories.I never knew what the song meant but I can tell you reading the translation just now is like I knew! When in Nairobi, go to a night club called SIMMERS,has a nightly live music, three bands alternate playing all the old classics like this one. Recently I saw Super Mazembe there. the great invasion of Zairean music in Kenya in 1970s, 1980s left a great legacy in Nairobi. other than Kinshasha, Nairobi was second home to Lingala music, may be more than Paris.

Ndaya by Mpongo Love.Translated for engish friends
Iknew that we will finally stick together, my husband and I, like a belt with a pent. We got married, stoped the empty talkers.This marriage of us till dearth do us apart.
Oh me Ndaya, I know no rival.This marriage of mine knows no unfaithfulness.
In this marriage of mine I'm firmly rooted like a flag with my lifted arm, Let them talk, they will be ashamed. They schemed but lost at last.
As my heart goes on, I'm reassured of my man's love.
