Mpo Na Nini Kaka Ngai? (Lola Chécain) - T.P. O.K. Jazz 1987

Vocals: Lokombe Ntal (solo), of course Lola Chécain and as for the others, I am not sure at all. Perhaps Kiesse Diambu, Malage de Lugendo?

The pictures of Lola Chécain were taken in 1991 in Brussels and Delft, the pic of Lokombe Ntal was taken in 2005 in Brussels.

Anyway, this was recorded without Franco. It was on the B-side of Attention Na SIDA, which was recorded in Europe by Franco with Victoria Eleison and Ntesa Dalienst, and on the B-side were two songs by T.P. O.K. Jazz without Franco.

Note how the tempo of this song gradually increases...

i thought Simaro did this?

@Msbea345 Well, what can I say? He didnt...

Hello Aboubacar, Please help me. Did Lokombe himself do the lead vocals in this song (including Esuke?). My brother insists it's Malage De Lugendo on the lead vocals but the composition is Lokombe. I believe it's not Lugendo's voice. Infact Lugendo's voice is kinda silky. This edges towards Tabuley's sweet raspy vocal code.

@MegaKobi1 Your brother is wrong on both counts. The composition is Lola Chécain's and the lead singer is Lokombe Ntal. I put his picture up the second he starts the solo. Malage de Lugendo sings Testament Ya Bowule. If your brother can't tell the difference I suggest he have his ears checked.

Hello Abbou, could you explain roughly what he is singing about. He sort of sounds dejected with friends and asking the gods what he did wrong.........

@MegaKobi1

The other voices were Bonyeme Denis, Lola, and Djo-DJo. This combination was used in may songs including Lumbe, Mayisso, esuke and together with Carlito, in the Maya Lp
