[marwa531]

madilu the great u stil a live howeve u passed a way

[sikukuu]

I'm sure Franco+Madilu are having fun once again wherever they are, could be they formed another band with Pepe Kale, Didos Longwa & others. These were great entertainers by the way. African's will never forget those old good days anyway.

[munonye5]

Yes! This is African music. We discovered music in East Africa as we discovered time keeping in North Africa! We are the world of music and "sololous" voices. Adieu Madilu. But who is replacing this Man? Please let us know my dear Idamawatu!!!!!

[pangbuify]

[Missous242]

RIP Madilu. We are going to miss you so much. I was in the Congo when you died. I was so sad. I hope you are together again with Le Grand Maitre Franco.

[madscientistify]

auuuuuuuuuuuuwi congo my love.and am not even congolese.regard from kenya mes freres

[Cally8747]

This is Calvince from Afghanistan, Madilu (R.I.P) has done soothing staff, with his songs stress is gone, hangovers defeated and in fact, the songs are so magnetic that it is impossible to move away from. Cudos to Congolese musicians like the late Madilu and Franco. Oooooh! Ya Jean and Veux Sammy!

[namagembeful]

I speak several african laungages but lingala is sweet like swahili mainly on the coastal mombasa,dar es salaam ,zanzibar. lingala and kiswahili kia wazalamu is so sweet

[mamuu002]

@namagembeful mi lov it too speak swahili too

[odhiscroco]

We want Congo to join East Africa Community...Congolese are wonderful people and it's music has meshed in the fabric of our lives in Kenya

[Patmuamba]

@odhiscroco Thanks! We, RD Congoleses, we love Kenya, too.

Izo

[kenyagirl2009]

does anyone have any translations?

[clada0716]

@kenyagirl2009 this song ya jean. it is a name of person . he said that i can break up with ya jean even though they go to the court, he will tell the judge he can not break up. Ya jean in this song wants to break up without any reason. I did do anything wrong but he woke and told me to break up. its a little bite the message of this song.

[idiofa33]

Madilu is singing about a woman was left by her man becuase he had a dream that she , the woman had an other man beside him... so thi is a singing voice of a woman pleading her man not to live her cause it was just a dream.. but the man decide to go, so the woman is sad,

[LusaMonene]

Thanks for your input, the song is soooo sweet but may be sad for the woman.

[LusaMonene]

Thank you!!!

[yumbaa]

Thanks for that input mate;tho we appreciate the music you'll be amazed by how much we agonise over the language!

What a voice! I never tire of hearing this song, one of HIS best ever. I Love it when he laughs and sings that long note. Thank U God for blessing us with Madilu. People all over the planet, that love real music, love Madilu, RIP

[TheSamuelpratt]

@CindyinLA Madilu passed away couple years ago. May GOD Bless his Soul.

[jonesxxx2]

@CindyinLA

yeh, I know what you mean about the long note. Also I love the way the guitarist runs riot immediately after. A bit like the keyboard solo in Light My Fire.

[athenyo]

I love this song...I watched him perform live in America...We have lost a great Artist...

System...you were the last of the best!!

[alexmulenge]

A magical voice, this man was unique ans truly talented. You cannot be any more perfect than that.. my brother Loved his sons dearly.

[ezonomous]

RIP Madilu, you are the man.

[thelawrecords]

this song iz a classic...one love and RIP madilu S.

[kindu2006]

i agree. I also think it is one of his best songs. I also like Mbya. It's a wonderful song. A wonderful voice.

[micpets]

This is the best song that Madilu has ever recorded in my opinion. It reminds of many evenings I used to spend in bars enjoying legendary african barbecues. Madilu you will be missed all over Africa and it is a shame that we have lost a man as good as this one. Madilu May Your Soul Rest In Peace wherever you 've gone. You have given me pleasure through your music over the years and you will remain a legend forever. Rest In Peace.

[mznjpearl]

another classic music dat i can remember from my childhood.

[j1981o]

thanx for posting it..we will miss system
