Good music and

[@Vico649]

The title of the song is 'Zikomo Malawi' which translates to 'Thank you Malawi' in Chichewa which is spoken in Malawi. I think the song chronicles their travels in central and east Africa. Someone please translate the Lingala part.

I attended their amazing show in Malawi at Chancellor College in November 1979. These are the guys who introduced me to Rhumba.

@@janekuria7688 , Orch. Les Mangelepa originally did this song during an African tour that took them to Zaire, Zambia ending up in Malawi . They recorded a Live album in a town called Zikomo which the song is titled. Zikomo is in Malawi and they generally sing about their trip along the river Congo and overflying Lake victoria ending up in Malawi . They praise the good people especially of Zikomo who came out to listen to them. The last part where the singer dialogues with the guitar i sin Swahili and he generally greets all who showed up, the young ones, the old ones, the bald ones ...etc. Enjoy the everlasting sounds of Mangelepa. You can catch the original studio version on thei album "Chafua Chafua" that also has the song SAAD which you can find here, enjoy. At 5:56 Evani says "Kuriwanji and the return chant is "kuriwino" , that is the Malawi and Zambian greetings.

@@jamesoluoch1836 "Mulibwanji?" "Tilibwino." = How are you? ...We are fine. "Zikomo" means thank you in Chichewa and Chinyanja languages which are both spoken in Zambia and Malawi. It's not a town in Malawi. "Zikomo Malawi"= Thank you Malawi in Chichewa.

[@limbanimagomero6588]

@@jamesoluoch1836 There's no town called Zikomo in Malawi. The song is titled "I love Malawi," meaning thank you Malawi. It was sang as a tribute to the people of Malawi when the band visited. "Muli bwanji?" Means "how are you?" "Tiri bwino!" Means "we are fine." They also made a recording of the song in the country during that visit.
