Track credited to Konono N°1. but YouTube user Evaristo Francisco, who claims to have played accompaniment in this song, says: "This is not Konono N°1, is Konono Molende of Nzuzi Nlaza who came of Mingiedi's Konono Band, in solo was Philipe alias Philo Mingiedi's nephew" and adds "this was recorded in 1981 in studio Papa Buffalo, Kinshasa".

To his credit, the version of the band that appears in "Musiques urbaines à Kinshasa" is, indeed, an incarnation led by N'laza, so it should be credited to Konono Molende, a splinter band of Konono N°1 founded by Nzuzi N'laza, nephew of Mingiédi Mawangu. But the confusion is understandable, anyway.

Side D of the cassette edition of "Musiques urbaines à Kinshasa" (Ocora, 1986)

Recorded in Kinshasa, November 1978.
