Moreno Batamba & Lovy Longomba: Osiepe

This is Orchestre Shika Shika of Monimambo Jim. But it is virtually the same line-up as Viva Makale. With Moreno, Lovy and Coco Zigo. With Frantal and Matumona on lead guitars. Remember within a period of two years, these three singers had sung variously or together in BOMA LIWANZA, LES KINOIS, SHIKA-SHIKA, SUPER LOVY, BANA LIKASI, VIVA MAKALE, BANA NGENGE and a host of other studio bands [eg Les Noirs of either Tshiku or Pili Muswahili fame]. Maybe Festival du Zaire scaped their wanderings! But one cannot be sure, given Lovy was a main act in Super Mazembe and Walumona of Viva Makale was the earlier le capitaine of Mangelepis! So unravelling their web of interconnections would be like decoding the genetic blue-print of some evolutionary higher organism. I surrender my case!

A nice hit indeed,i love it but my request still stands, that is OMANGA by FATAKI LOKASA OF BANA NGENGE. Pls. try and get it. I don't know who has it, Seems a hard tune to find GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jarawilla]

@musaondigo This Omanga seems very difficult to get in single or Album form. It will mean listening to all MP3 ZILIZOPENDWA collections, which are never correctly labeled! Needle in Haystack business, unless a fan finds it in his private collection and helps us pronto. To thumni enni ema nene iyudo godo dhako! koso yawa!

Never looses its "sweetnes!"
