[Interview] Kambale Musavuli

Ces vidéos très intéressantes sont en anglais.

Interesting comments and analysis by Kambale Musavuli of Congolese history and major events in Congo that are all linked to USA from a way or another.

Kalùmyànà mpwekelela
Anu bu ninja sempela
Ionda dikasa
Ngalu ni danse mupyamupya

Mambo ina waka
Ced ana tomboka sasa
Droite, gauche, droita
Nwacooki kwela mpata anyi?
Shikiya nsonshi
Umbusha nkwasa
Cyalu cidyunda
Mêma neebà to ni panshì
