For some of us, it is the beat, the rhythm session and the bass line that make this song so memorable. The bass line is best enjoyed over your ear or headphone or on a good stereo system. The melody is nice but it's just one line being repeated the whole time. This is a rare song that became popular even though the melody is just one single line sung without variation!!!
I’m a Ghanaian but I can sing this song without missing a word,even though I don’t understand it. I took my time to learn it like my English notes 😂😂😂. Love love love love
What's this man's rating in African music? I haven't seen a single track from him that's not sweet and danceable. He should be among the best 10 African musicians of all times.
this song is my childhood,this and tika kolela man!!! ,everytime i hear it i have to pick up the phone and call my dad no matter how mad at him iam. if you are Kenyan growing up in the 90s you remember waking up to this playing on the radio at 6ish in the morning, being prepared to go to school. it holds so many sweet memories of family that i still hold on to despite my childhood being interfered with.
Who ever has crafted the Lingala lyrics for this song, I can't thank you enough 💜 Trust me, for the first time in my life I have been able to sing along!!!!! Thank you from the bottom 🙏 of my heart.
Kanda Bongoman sings from the heart and his music deepens one's mood and transfixed one's memories with a bitter sweet aura. Not song one forgets in a hurry. A very authentic African song.
When I was a child every time I hear this song on radio I get so excited. I’m Ghana at that time my step dad normally fix the radio on Radio Gold and they played it almost every morning. It really sparked my creative engine. Today I’m listening to it with so many memories to reminisce on. I now have a family and it makes me feel time wasted for no man. Can someone explain it to me.
Greetings from Barranquilla Colombia, growing up all my dad played was his music and till this day still can't understand the word since I only speak Spanish and English. This melodies runs through my veins. 2022
Ooh God ! This has a powerful synchrony of vocals and instruments.It pushed me in a lot of retrospective years and activities.No COVID, Russia-Ukraine war,no M23 rebels in DRC,no cyber crime then.Days were sweet with sweet music.
OH MY!!!!! The vocals, the strings, MARIMBA and just everything. As a producer, this kind of arrangement is on another level. Can a well wisher give us the translation please!
My brother-in-law sent me a video of Kanda Bongo Man. I started going back to his song l was listening to 20 yrs ago. I appreciate more than l did then.
Don't understand a single word but this guy's vocals are super, his range is insane!! get me a man who can sound like this and I will show you a musician and the instrumentals what draws me to this song, I understand the language of music.
Sweet sweet music 🎶 nothing is sweeter than some of this songs..who is Tanzanian here,I used to dance this alot in mwanza hotel not too long ago 🤣🤣🤗 that's where I came to know something called *"bakulutu"* 🤣am I right on the spelling Tanzanians?

I second
Trust me he went viral in every part of Africa, both the country and in the cities. Before the internet.
He really touch lifes of many. Especially in the 80 and 90s.frm Nigeria.
He's considered a legend like the West considers Michael Jackson or Elvis to be legends
This is it!! No sweeter music than that
To be an African is a blessing! This was our lullabies.
Zimbabwean I agree❤Proud African.
