i spent many., many months nonstop driving around Tanzania, and Luis, my driver brother had just one cassette - Orchestra Supa Mazembe - that we heard from one end to the other, hundreds of times, passing by dusty villages, with baobab or palm trees, savanna, mountains, markets, children playing... usually one gets tired of the same music, but no, for me this music entered my heart and body and mind.... introducing me to congolese music... and this song for me, Ilena, was the gem.
There was no band like super mazembe!!! They were far ahead of their time! Authentic instrumentation...lead guitar genius bukalos, bass Atia Jo, drum dodo doris!!
RIP the entire team of bana mushosho including band leader Didos Longwa, Kasongo wa Kanema, Lovy Longoma, Kayembe Rapok, Dodo Doris, Atia Jo, Bukasa wa Bukasa aka Bukalos and others

Super mazembe remembers me back to early,1980's.
This song is very nostalgic and emotional, too. RIP my loving wife Ellenah 😢
Ilena, nice music of our times 🎉❤.
Nobody could play the solo guitar like Bukalooos!
Atia jo...mama is calling you
Atiajoo mama anakuita
Am crying I don't want
Music of my days
I remember those days of open air disco vumbi
