Kindumba maman nayo doesn’t mean your mom is a h*e. It means prostitution yo momma. Ambiance koko nayo = vibes yo Grandpa.
If I remember well Zaïko already started animating it in concerts back in 2014 and Wenge BCBG also taking that crie. The inspiration of that cri came from the daily stuff people were seeing in Kinshasa, the rate of unemployment being high which led to daugthers, mothers and even grandmothers having 3/4 men to feed their family. Their father or husband not having any choice to accept the money, because they don’t work anymore since 20 years, never having worked since they graduated in 1988 or the money they earn not being enough. Then also youngsters and fathers only being focused on ambiance in Bandal, Kapela Yolo and Couloir Kimbuta instead of looking a way to go forward in life. Doing matolo for hours or beggin relatives in Europe for money to end up by spending it on a table full with bottles of Primus or Nkoyi-beer. Unemployment in Kinshasa led many to become kuluna’s. The phenomenon occurred in the late 90s by Congolese youngsters who came back to Kinshasa after from Lunda/Angola after not succeeding in the diamond-business and started to terrorize the local population in areas like Masina, Selembao, Bumbu, Makala, Ngaba, N’djili and Kimbanseke and in the mid 2000s becoming worser and spreading to normal quarters and abroad (Brazzaville). They became more powerful because of influent politicians and businessmen started to finance them for personal missions. In 2013 General Kanyama came with Operation Likofi, which made many Kuluna’s getting killed by the police and population (burned in the street, tortured, etc.). It made the kuluna dissapear for 2 years in Kinshasa, but it came back and worser, spreading even to areas and quarters like Binza, Gombe and Limete.
