I've heard this animation on several songs. It's been done by Ocean Ebale on Djuny Claude's album, Bebe Kero did it on Effrakata and Titina's No Comment album. Now CNN is doing it on Patou Fataki album. Forward to the 5:13 mark. Is it a folklore song that is popular or it's an actual animation? Thanks.

Side note: this is a nice sebene featuring Al Patchino.

I don't think animation belongs to a song as much as the lyrics, in sense of authorship. There are many examples to atalakus showing up on records of various bands at the same period. Like Bebe and Nono atalaku. Nono stayed with Zaiko Nkolo Mboka after the band split, but you can hear him animate an album of Zaiko Familia Dei, too, namely: Kenya Safari. And the phrases he uses there appeared on some concerts of the other fraction, too. I remember Doudou Adoula sang some phrases from it. Also Bebe atalaku and his team mate, Marius, they had common phrases to animate in Familia Dei, and they used the same style on an album of Lita Bembo, where they were invited to be the atalakus.
