3. Finally, Papa Wemba is saying that enough is enough and he's not going to take it anymore. He's asking for Africa liberty, liberty, liberty,... It's heartbreaking to listen this song. Frankly, my heart breaks down. The message is so deep and so powerful. Why do black people have to go through all these? Why? Why? To y'all, this song is for all of us black people. Enjoy the song. Nice stuff. Thanks Papa Wemba. Viva Africa. God bless y'all.

2. Papa Wemba is saying that Martin Luther King, Bob Marley,... they also cried out about the slavery and he cried along with them. Papa Wemba also mentioned the occupation and the regime of apartheid in South Africa. Papa Wemba went on to say that Africa's resources have been exploited by white people during the colonialism of Africa. Papa Wemba is asking why african people had to go through all these situations...?

1. This song is about african people who were sold and sent into slavery in America. Papa Wemba is saying that he has brothers and sisters who are now living in America and in islands; Martinique, Guadeloupe, Nouvelle Caledonie,... These brothers and sisters are actually those africans who were sent into slavery to work for white people in America. He's saying that the problem is that his brothers and sisters and himself, they don't know each other...

[hanadaze]

wow...inspired!

[chakachocolate]

[kfrancisco2]

he lost his musical presence ever since he went to prison, WHAT A SHAME! He should have known congolese people are always up to tricks.

[PapaWembaFan]

Fantastic performance by Papa and a tight band. He is the best, especially live. Papa. Papa. Papa!!!

[Kongowetu]

Great song thank you Papa Wemba.

[DrShrinker]

Great video, great song - thanks for posting.

But was this definitely shot in the mid-90s or was it in fact earlier... because the lineup here doesn't look remotely the same as the Molokai of '95-'98 that I remember. (Valerie Lobe, Patrick Bebey, Awa Maiga, etc. are all absent).

Thanks again.

[coolserge72]

shot in mid-80 before liberation of Mandela.

[DelkySignature]

Shot in early '90 way before the group that you cited. The original lineup was Maika, Shakara, Ikonola, Boffy, (Reddy et Stino, absent here) and the two white dude (sorry forgot the name).

[ivanakis76]

I love this song.I love it even better now I know what it means.Fantastično!

[amormna]

[appollopd]

[respublicae]

Again,I'm crying at this time because of the music. To pesa merci na Zambe, kaka ye mutou a yebo po na nini souffrance a biso na histoire a mokili.

[MalaikaDipita]

[nomlingo]

Perfection equals obliteration !

[suitenumerique]

vous savez comment je fais pour me procurer de cette version de "slave"

J'aime bien cette version de "Slave".On dirait du rock! on dirait du raegué! c'est formidable papa wemba!

[fidkab]

Seul le talent, le vrai, loin des insultes et polémiques, permet à l'ARTISTE d'effleurer la perfection. Emouvant et profond. Chapeau bas à Notre NKURU NATIONAL.

Mandela et l'Afrique du Sud ne doivent jamais oublier que le soutien du peuple zaÏrois leur était complètement acquis, loin de la politique menée par le maréchal.

[Hiroshima123456789]

Selky please tinda concert nionso au complet

[DelkySignature]

This was a one-song shooting in a studio with audience, not a concert.

[rodriASTE]

beautiful music

[snklet]

OMG!!!!!!!! that's all i can say. especially for us other non congolese that love soukouss, rumba, etc.. but never know what they're saying those songs...... Powerful lyrics!!!!

[Hiroshima123456789]

[congoman701010]

"Slave" and "Longembo" are songs which will last for ever...Hat off for Le Nkuru,le Mzee!

[Hiroshima123456789]

[tukuniata]

[freddybeuk]

[Hiroshima123456789]

[Yakil78]

Putain! I have 3 versions to this song. It is probably the most important Congolese song, a move away from Dance tunes. Mzee Kuru Yaka

[Hiroshima123456789]

[muktech]

PAPA WEMBA, ALWAYS ENTERTAINING!!
