I had first doubts about Senado being the original songwriter of Bana Lunda and Pipina-Jeannpy, because of almost 20 years ago, someone writing on the comments of Bana Lunda-videos , that was uploaded by bughativeyron (he was the one who had the most Congolese tracks on youtube at that time), about Bana Lunda not being JB Mpiana's song, but a from a band that used to perform in the Lunda-region (I don't remember which name it was). But with Senado explaining himself that he used to be a Mwana Lunda it makes sense. I wonder if he was part of a band of Congolese people in Lunda, when he was in the diamond-business. Because in that case it could be possible that it was the same band that the person was commenting around 2008/09 on youtube.
Talking about Bana-Lunda, it's unbelievable how most of them who had the biggest names all became broke, homeless or passed away in bad conditions.
