I Always wonder from what popular proverbs got inspired and how this song who is fairly simple became this popular in parties and Congolese weddings outside of the BaKongo community

They must have listened to Madilu's generique from Pouvoir.
Sa Majeste influenced this song big time and they decided to make the beginning of the generique into a full song.

The song wasn’t influenced by Madilu’s generique, because it was already a huge succes in funerals and weddings of Angolan Bakongo community living in N’djili, Kimbanseke & Lingwala before getting recorded on cd. Konono Molende was a group in Kinshasa of Angolans singing old Kikongo songs from Angola to remind their roots. Back in 80s you used to have a lot groups like that in N’djili where there were a lot Angolans. Many used to lie that they were Bambata (a subtribe of Bakongo in DRC living next to the border of Angola), to not be bothered by Congolese people that they were Angolan. Because back in those days it was like a disgrace in DRC to be an Angolan.

It became popular, because many Angolan Bakongo from Kinshasa hadn't next to Congolese and Angolan music, not really  a song of their roots to dance about. Which forced them often to dance just the tribal songs of Bantandu, the northern Bakongo living next to Kinshasa (Kisantu, Kasangulu, Madimba). Some had it in possession, but they were very hard to find. Then when I think  the cd of "Musique Folklorique de Bakongo de l'Angola refugies au Congo Kinshasa" came out the song "Matali Yo" and "Makonda Mbuta" it became massive hit. Major Bisadidi who has Angolan roots, promoted both songs in his movies, which made the song getting more succes. Later also Bangala, Baluba who like Bakongo-music started to put the music in their parties and wedding.
