Independence Cha Cha

[JayPSandPJay]

Great song! I'm a music teacher from the U.S. I'd love to share this song with my students. Does anyone know the original lyrics, and maybe a translation into English? thanks!

[Dudemeister1337]

Heard this while watching Lumumba yesterday. Love the tune

[eduardalet]

I plan to travel to the Congo this year for the 50th anniversary of the TASOK, a nice school . Chill out.

[chantalnitu]

[faulknerma]

love this song. who plays guitar on it? sweet. shame about Lumumba. The optimism of the early post-colonial years didnt last long. Forza Grand Kalle.

[Minurath]

Absolutely love this song!

I just hope there's still optimism left in Congo, with all that's happened.. (also between our countries - mine being Belgium).

[MaoTseMetin]

only 37.000 klicks ._. the world must be bad! i know now ...=)

[mantonesoleil]

notre congo sans mobutu serais devenus une perle du continent africain

[rice2099]

who sings this song

[mkonn06]

What I like most on this song are the emotions that are shown by the congolese citizens everytime one plays this song in the streets of Kinshasa. They smile, sing and dance. That is a great benefit for Grand Kalle.

[carmen471112]

Que de beaux souvenirs.

Dommages que les puissances étrangère ont tous foutus en l'air

Merci African Jazz et tous le peuple Congolais

[eduardalet]

Oh by the way our life span is about 80 years not the 35-40 you have in the lost congo. Notice I don't capitalize it , I only capitalize Belgian Congo and Leopoldville. Maybe in 1000 years you will reach the European standards.

[paulusson]

Cet hymne aux indépendances africaines, tokoyoka yango lisusu mingi en cette année du cinquantenaire.

Quand je pense que LUMUMBA himself a dansé sur cette musique mémorable et que son CONGO pourlequel il a donné sa vie est aujourd'hui entre les mains d'un inculte comme KABILA, j'en bave!.

[eduardalet]

By the way I'm in excellent health and enjoy travelling to the beautiful parts of the world.

[babyfods18]

@eduardalet ANOTHER WHITE DEVIL WHO FEELS THE NEED TO COMMENT ON AN AFRICAN VIDEO! BEFORE YOU SATANIC CAVE CREATURES CAME AND DESTROYED THE DRC AND MUCH OF AFRICA WE HAD OUR OWN CIVILIZATIONS, LANGUAGES AND CULTURE! WE WERE NOT GREEDY LIKE YOU DEVILS WHO WERE WILLING TO KILL BABIES FOR GOLD! THAT SHIT WAS EVERYWHERE EVEN DIAMONDS BUT YOU CAME AND LIKE THE DEVILS YOU ARE KILLED AND ENSLAVED JUST TO GET SOME OF OUR RESOURCES! THE DEVIL IS A GREEDY MOTHERFUCKER AND THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE!

[eduardalet]

@babyfods18 Get some psychiatric help my boy, oh yes I remember the wonderful times in the Congo when I only snapped my fingers and said boy, and he replies yes master, please my Coca -Cola with lemon. As he was standing there shivering with fright he went back to his servants place. Ah yes the Congo , que bonne chance to have made so much money in so little time because of you fuck ups. Belgians the best civil engineers in the world , as you can see in Leopoldville , n'est ce pas, mon singe

[lihmann]

@eduardalet I see why they call some people retard''''if u take pleasure in abusing another human being simply because he is ignorant of who he is,,,might be it explain why many of ur kind molest kids,,,,,,please keep ur ignorance to urself because ur not better off than the kid ur degrading,,,by the way, why are u hear if u dont have anything to share than spew hate?

[eduardalet]

It was created by HRH King Leopold 2 , if you study anthropology you will see that in the Congo there were no boundaries the tribes moved freely about with each different one hating the other. That is the root cause behind the problems , the boundaries were created by Europeans.Therefore you see all the hatred posted below , yes I was there from 1969-1972 a quiet time when Leopoldville only had 1,000,000 population. Today it is overpopulated and its infrastructure has failed, good luck.

[100nkjb]

Quand est ce que nous congolais comprendrons que notre pays est envié par tout le monde, alors il nous faut vraiment une solidarité solide sans cela nous profiterons jamais de ce grand patrimoine que DIEU a donné à nos ancetres.

[100nkjb]

Vous le savez bien la cause principale de notre misère est la mauvaise gestion de MOBUTU et ses collaborateurs, le grand LUMUMBA n'a travaillé que quelques mois, comment nous congolais pouvons analyser des choses de cette manière ? KABILA le père est tué toujours par manque de protection de ses propres frères, nous ne savons pas proteger nos leaders, c'est vraiment dommage, des mêmes herreurs, continuent de se reproduire.

[100nkjb]

LUMUMBA le grand leader noir, malgres sa mort, il est parti la tête haute,il a craché la vérité au roi belge, il ne voulait pas que les blancs camouflent les maux qu'ils nous ont endurés aux noirs au nom de l'independance, paix soit à son âme, nous congolais ne t'oublierons jamais.

Dommage quand il ya de fois j'entends quelques têtes de moutons de congolais attribuent la misère actuelle  à LUMUMBA, quel âcheté, quel manque d'intelligence, quelle stupidité ????

[DarRehla]

je suis tombée sur le site qui m'a rappelé de bons souvenirs du Congo d'avant et après 1960. c'était ub très beau pays avant l'indéoendance qui s'est faite trio vite : il aurait fallu d'après moi les assister de manière à ce que tout se fasse dans l'ordre et la paix et que tous les Congolais vivent heureux...

[eduardalet]

Belgians built the Congo into a beautiful place airports , coffee plantations, farms , water plants, coca cola I was there in 1969 and imagine you even destroyed that, goodyear built a tire factory but withdrew everything that was left because workers could only think of stealing, what do you call uncivilized savages that should be put under the iron fist of colonial rule.Don't come begging to Europe because we don't need you monkees here we have enough of you at the antwerp zoo.

[luobla]

Congolees people didn't ask you nothing Mentally retarded person !!!

That's what you have to understand !!

You can not talk about "uncivilized" here when you live in a country where respect, family religion have no sense.

That's the reason of this song. We are glad and proud to sing this song 'cause we kicked your butt out of our country.

Then you release that monkeys know how to write.

If you were there in 1969, i hope you'll die soon & if i could i will shit on grave asshole !!!

[SIMONMEVANS]

racist bastard

[criekmeister]

belgium had nothing to seek there, it was african land.

If you don't wanna let them come to here. Well than it is simple, give all the money back to congo

the money from the profits of the natural resouces we stole. (500 billion euro's).

Europe has become the rich europe that we know because we stole everything from africa.

If you don't want them to come here, we had to stay away in the first place

[Farensc]

@criekmeister

so the money can disappear in the pockets off corrupt officials. And then there will be even more misery in the country...

[smartrdc]

elle a ete bien chantée...

[kikamba01]

"Monsieur" KIRIKOU, Je mets à dessein le mot monsieur entre guillemet car dans "ton congo belge on ne disait ps monsieur à un nègre.Dis-nous combien de km d'autoroute, de chemin de fer as-tu laissé en 1960?

[cele998]

Le Congo Belge avait 5000 km de chemin de fer, soit le deuxième pays après l'Egypte. C'est quand meme gigantesque. Aujourd'hui encore l'organisation de chemins de fer africains a son siège à Kinshasa (Congo).

CELE

[amilcarvdh]

In my bad french:

Vive le Congo Libre, Vive Lumumba, Vive L'Afrique Libre, Vive la Panafricanisme. Vive tout les revolutionaires Africaine.

Dieux Merci pour Kwame Nkruma, Patrice Lumumba, Amilcar Cabral, Samora Machel, Steve Biko, Merci pour les vrais "Leaders" d'Afrique.

[kirikou53]

Vive le Congo Belge !

99% de la population congolaise souhaite une recolonisation rapide.

1% de la population souhaite continuer à s'enrichir

[Boyoma1000]

Fuck Belgium. Jamais le congolais ne souhate pas la recolonisanion.

Jamais. Je tuerais Tout les Belge qui pence que le congo sera recolonisee.

Vivre Le Congo libre , Vive Lumumba.

[kirikou53]

en 1960, tous les congolais savaient écrire.

49 ans après, toi tu ne sais plus écrire correctement.

Tu as vu dans quel état est ton "Congo libre" ?

[Boyoma1000]

So what if i don't know how to write French? It's not my language. speak to me in English.

what your country did to Congo, i never forgive your country , never.

Le Congo n'aurat jamais besion de la Belgique. Se la Belgique quia besoin du Congo.

[MUKUBWA01]

a kirikou53. tu a raison,mais ce n'est pas LUMUMBA qui est au pouvoir...LUMUMBA revait d'un congo LIBRE,PROSPERE,FORT,INDEPENDAN­T ou les NOIRS ET LES BLANCS vivront en EGALITE....il etait INDOMPTABLE jusqu'a sa mort.....pas comme mobutu,tshombe,kasavubu, qui tous se rabessait meme devant vandewalle et eyskens....PATRICE n'etait pas communiste,ce sont les interets economiques belge qui l'ont TUE,c'est tout.

[mayetaye]

en 1960 les congolais étaient moin con que toi. lol....

[varcastoyalo]

le bon vieux temps des colonies.

[kaylinjay]

[Kongowetu]

Vive le Congo libre. Le Congo des congolais là où le dernier Tutsi sera écrasé comme une vermine.

[Savai333]

Hi

There is another song played to commemorate Lumumbas ... could have been by Grande Kalle: Partly sung in Swahhili. The refrain: Lumumba ya Mama... ya baba. If only I could listen to it!!! That would be great.

[foreignmovies]

Hi Savai333...I did a search on google...nothing so far...Can you give me the name of the song and the singer?

[Boyoma1000]
