piquedard......I stand corrected, the title is indeed as you say. My assumed higher cognitive functions do not allow me to think [or apparently form simple sentences ] in Lingala, and not having the song titles right in front of me when I posted that obviously didn't work very well, but the feeling behind that piece remains a very good memory of time and place. Thanks for backing me up on this. Do check out the disc Les Bantous [1963-1969 ], EVERY song is really strong.
sorry! i strongly doubt a "les bantous de la capitale"'s song can have a title such as "comrade mibale". those muscians sing (sang) mostly in lingala, french or local dialects but not in english (comrade is english), mibale in lingala means two. anyway "bad friend" should be "camarade mabe" in lingala....
THIS PARTICULAR ALBUM STANDS APART FROM ALMOST ANY OTHER OF THEIR WORK, WHICH SAYS A LOT, BECAUSE THIS BAND PUT OUT SO MANY ASS WALOPING ALBUMS THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN KEEP TRACK OF THEM. THE SONG ''COMRADE MIBALE''[BAD FRIEND, I BELIEVE IT MEANS] IS REALLY STRONG. THIS MUSIC BRINGS BACK A VERY SPECIAL TIME ONE SUMMER WORKING ON A FRIEND'S FARM OUTSIDE TELLURIDE, COLORADO.
It seems "son montuno" from Cuba

@piquedard You're right - I had done a research some weeks ago and I did found a song called 'camarade mabe' from that band.
