jakojuaya: Great kabisa sana! I think this is the original recording in a Kinshasha studio, in those days when the whole band had to be in, at a single take session: no digital remixing. There is that hollow space where the base floats; and that is Mabiala in soloist lead with Ntesa prevalent in chorus, and the trademark hoarse Opetum chants! When well performed, a composition of Poet Simarro is ofcourse timeless! Take a hearing at Pepe Kalle and Carlito in 'MAYA'! that blood-curdling wail.
@chahenza lol no, radio trottoir can be translated in English as pavement radio. Since the media/news is controlled by politicians, people turn to pavement radio, nobody controls the radio trottoir and its said that rumors in Africa are often truer than the truth itself. cheers.
J'ai lu des nouvelles contradictoires au sujet du chanteur d'OK jazz M.Youlou Mabiala. Quelques rapports indiquent qu'il a souffert une crise cardiaque tout en exécutant le concert musical à Pointe Noir dans la Brazaville. Encore un autre rapport précise qu'il a été piloté à Paris en France où il suit le traitement. Il y a quelqu'un dehors là pourrait clarifier? Prince Youlou est-il mort ou vivant? Veuillez répondre à cette information inquiétante.

@chahenza Radio trottoir is an idiomatic way to say gossiping
