I wonder if Volvo Lukebuka didn't record that song with one of his previous band in Brazzaville before joining Madilu's band. I don't really know alot about music of Brazzaville (only a little bit about Extra Musica), but I wanted to know who inspired guitarists like Durrel Loemba, Roga Roga, Bondo Mania with that rhythm or was it something tribal L like that way music of Congo-kinshasa was heavenly influenced by the rhythm of the Luba-tribe in the 50's with Dr Nico, Grand Kalle, etc. and in the early-mid70s by the rhythm of the Mongo with Stukas, Yoka Lokole, Isifi, Zaiko.
