Samba Mapangala / Orchestra Virunga in NYC w/Lokassa ya Mbongo and Ngouma Lokito ::: Dunia Tuna Pita

Nothing to do with fish or Arab-style bread, "Dunia Tuna Pita" means "we are all just passing through this world"- and it is a lovely song. Be sure to buy the studio recording, which is meltingly beautiful. At Lincoln Center, New York City, we were treated to the live version which came complete with sexy dancers. Hmm...maybe even better than the CD!! :)

My prayer is to attend one of Mapangala's shows. RIP Lokassa Ya Mbongo, the guitar maestro.

[@ScottShuster]

@focaisawiza7 @manyulia How does it help the world to say nasty things like this? It is great to see real African dancing in New York City -- it's not like we have so many thousands and thousand and thousands of people who know how to do this here. So instead of denouncing in cruel terms, why not be supportive and be kind to your fellow man and women too. Remember Dunia Tuna Pita: We are all just passing through...

[@lazarodaudi1689]

Scott Shuster ur right Sir

[@amosontita8749]

Nice song lyrics I like it

[@FredrickMutooni]

" Tuna Pita translates to Tuna fish bread but in Kiswahili is a one word Tunapita meaning pasing through. The reasons being that Kiswahili has shortage of words and 90% of Kiswahili words are borrowed words from other languages including arabic. See "KISWAHILI LANGUAGE TEACHER" CLIP IN KZbin

Lyrics (Kiswahili and English): Everything you do must go through the witches Kila kitu ufanyayo lazima yapitie kwa waganga Change that habit, eh Badilisha hiyo tabia, eh Everything you do must go through the witches Kila kitu ufanyayo lazima yapitie kwa waganga Change that habit, eh Badilisha hiyo tabia, eh You give all your money to women Pesa zako hupatia kina dada Are you looking for fame or what? Watafuta jina ama vipi? You give all your money to women Pesa zako hupatia kina dada Are you looking for fame or what? Watafuta jina ama vipi? It is known that you seduce other people's wives Wake za watu hutongoza imejulikana Beware, you will end up in Shimo La Tewa (a historical prison for dangerous criminals at Shimo La Tewa, Mombasa, Kenya). Jihadhari utaishia shimo la tewa, ah It is known that the wives of men seduce Wake za watu hutongoza imejulikana Beware you will end up in a wormhole, ah Jihadhari utaishia shimo la tewa, ah They talk about building an apartment and you have nothing, eh Waongea kujenga ghorofa na huna kitu, eh Keep your mouth shut brother Acha mdomo na maringo kaka (I think it's totally African) (Iiidhan bluumba Afrika kabisa) The world we pass, eh Dunia tunapita, eh Everything will remain, ah Kila kitu kitabakia, ah Humans are young, ah Binadamu ni mchanga, ah It will remain forever the mountains Kitabaki milele ni milima The world we pass, eh Dunia tunapita, eh Everything will remain, ah Kila kitu kitabakia, ah What is pride for? Majivuno ni ya nini It will remain forever the mountains Kitabaki milele ni milima They are fooling people, father, ah for nothing Warogaroga watu baba ah bure Why do you hurt your fellow Africans? Waumiza Waafrika wenzako kwa nini? The powers that fight for the company are not yours Madaraka wapigania kampuni sio yako Nor does it belong to Mzungu Baba wape Wala yake ni ya Mzungu Baba wape Their rights have uses too Haki zao wana matumizi pia The world we pass, eh Dunia tunapita, eh Everything will remain, ah Kila kitu kitabakia, ah Humans are young, ah Binadamu ni mchanga, ah It will remain forever the mountains Kitabaki milele ni milima The world we pass, eh Dunia tunapita, eh Everything will remain, ah Kila kitu kitabakia, ah Humans are young, ah Binadamu ni mchanga, ah It will remain forever the mountains Kitabaki milele ni milima The world we pass, eh Dunia tunapita, eh Everything will remain, ah Kila kitu kitabakia, ah What is pride for?

[@ScottShuster]

@dallascomegys ha ha ha! No, Jonal was not SUPPOSED to be there until then. The song singing is a solo until that point (you can hear this on the original recording, too) and Jonal appeared exactly when he was supposed to appear, ROFL!!
