Title: What language is this Bozi Boziana song in
Post by: BrazzaBoy on July 26, 2020, 13:51

What language is this Bozi Boziana song in? Starting around 3min mark I notice that its not in Lingala no more or at least doesnt sound like it. Wondering if that was the Mongo languange or maybe a Kongo language perhaps but I doubt that.

Its Bobangi/Kilobo, which is talked in the Mayi-Ndombé region, The Lingala-languague comes from them. Bozi  Boziana sung this song, because there were  killings in that region of the Tende-tribe against Banunu.
