lyrics
Soki bomoni moto akoleka na nzela
Bo bonga te
Tango ako yebisa bino likambo oya ye
Bo yoka ye
Loba likambo to yoka
Sanola lisolo to yoka
Bakisa mwa toli
To landa'ngo
Loba likambo na yo to yoka
Sanola lisolo to yoka
Ba tata ba mama balobi bana
Toyoka likambo'ango
Ba yaya ba leki balingi kaka
Kolanda bisengo'ango
Batata ba mama, welele
Ba yaya ba leki, welele
Ba noko ba kok, welele
Bilenge ba kolo, welele
Mwasi kitoko alingi kobina
Botika ye
Tala loketo esiemba, nzoto pepele
Bata maboko
Beta lindanda to yemba
Bakisa mbonda pe to bina
Mongongo na yo pe to yoka
Beta lindanda to yemba
Bakisa mbonda to bina
Mongongo na yo pe to yoka
Ba tata ba mama balobi bana
Bobeta mabiko'ango
Ba yaya ba leki balingi kaka
Ko bina banzembo’ango
Batata ba mama, welele
Ba yaya ba leki, welele
Ba noko ba koko, welele
Bilenge ba kolo, welele

I think its crazy how you can hear her smile or grin in some tracks. Also, just so well produces. Thanks for this beautiful piece of art. quintenzirkel
Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
