I am from Trinidad and this video/music surely demonstrates that we have roots in Congo.

sublime et authentique.

Baloji tu remplis bien ta mission de sensibilisation et conscientisation du peuple Congolais. depuis "HI" d'ailleurs.

encore une fois le message est passé :" Kinshasa traitement"; bien loin du lingala facile. bravo.
