Many intro's of Victoria Eleison songs came from old USA songs of the 50s, 60s and 70s. Some others were tribal rhythms from the Kwilu and Kwango region (Mbala and Yaka-tribe) that Emeneya would dictate  the guitarists to play through his mouth. Even the first part of Victoria's intro "Explosion" came according Pinos from a country-song.

I'm interested what other songs he got from US hits? I know the sans preavis intro had in the jungle song I forgot the title and the intro of Kimpiatu is similar to Billie Jean of Michael Jackson.

You're talking about The Lion Sleeps Tonight.
