What is this song about? any little translation would help. Unlock the mystery of the lyrics for those of us that are captivated by the music and voice but dont know the meaning. Thanks

@sugacosta Something about money (mbongo), and how it tends to corrupt humans in the strangest ways.....

Terrific! what lyrics! what Djo Mpoy's voice! congolese's the best! Thanks for this nostalgic song! What era!

[larryboy1995]

I almost agree with you there, Djo Mpoyi was one of the best singers in TPOK Jazz!

I have no words to express the feeling,I just wonder if we will ever have an assembly of musicians each with unique character in-put of this magnitude. And looking at what is happening in Zaire right now, my soul is tearful......violence, hunger, homelessness, name it.The troops and rebels alike should listen to these tunes. Use guitars instead of guns!

Amen to your words, Sir. The rest of us from Kenya and other places always looked to Zaire(Congo) for the best music, but now all that is gone, and all we have is...nothing! The amount of suffering Congo has gone through over the last decade is just unspeakable, and unfortunately, when Congo bleeds, we all do - Kenya, Somalia, Sudan, all of Africa!

Thanks for your comments!

L'argent, Mbongo, Money toujours l'argent... la bible dit que l'argent est la racine tous les maux. C'est vrai! Voila encore une triste facon de chanter de Jo Mpoyi Kanyinda, Manseba. Merci pour tous ces bons conseils que malheureusement beaucoup de gens ignorent. Mbongo, l'argent, money... Jo Mpoyi Kanyinda, Manseba repose en paix.
