I am sure its basically an animation by the traditional groups(tradi-modern),especially one guy called 12 balles who created a lot of the animations used in the big groups in that period

Aah,  because I already heard the same Koyimbi-ko animation in Elongi Ya Jesus of Papa Wemba and that "mama eh mama, mama nzoto na ngai yee mama" animation of Celeo in a generic of Grand Zaiko-Wawa.

I also agree with archos, Koyimbi Ko should be a traditional song. Franco did it in one of his early recordings and i have also heard it on an old Papa Wemba album but can't remember which Wemba album and when it was done.

What's the meaning behind the words Koyimbi-Ko and what language/tribe does the word/dance derive from?
