The way Maika Munan (rhythm guitar) and Yves Ndjock (distorition guitar) this song a different direction after 13 years was incredible. The song was first released in january 1981 released under the title Bolingo suka te and 13 years later it got remixed in the album Foridoles that came out in june 1994. The way of singing the text in the original version is a little bit different from the second version.



the original version with Nseka Bimwela "Huits Kilo" on the lead. The sebene reminds me of two American songs of from the 70s but I dont know the title nor the artist. Pinos once said in an interview he made with Vicent Tshiluizi that many intro's of songs and sebene they did in Viva la Musica and Victoria Eleison were inspired from American songs. Even the track the start of Explosion which later became But na Filet in 2000.



The second version.

Although Maika Munan being credited as arranger of this song. Sebaret Nsiamundele recently claimed that he was behind the arrangement of the whole album and him being the man who took Yves Ndjock into the project. But because of him being put in jail, making Maika Munan crediting many tracks to him. Who tells truth ?
