Independence Cha Cha
Loading...
Uploaded by foreignmovies on Sep 1, 2008
The mother of all independence songs, this moving piece by the great Joseph Kabasele Tshamala (Grand Kalle) - the father of Congolese music and his band African Jazz, was the anthem of the independence movement which began the process by which the Belgian Congo was to become an independent Congo. The accompanying slide also pays tribute to Patrice Lumumba - the political father of the Congo, and one of the greatest African statesmen ever.

@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

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.
