With the double album Sève, Zaïko Langa-Langa, a true legend of African music, celebrates fifty years of career. On September 25, the group released a double CD of fourteen tracks of “Rumba Congolaise”, the style that the group popularized around the world in the early 1970s.

Led by Jossart N’yoka Longo, the group in activity for fifty years (and with many changes of staff along the way), is the oldest orchestra in the history of Congolese music and a true cultural icon. .
Considered one of the founders of rumba, Zaïko Langa-Langa has imposed his dances around the world and in particular among young people in need of emancipation. More than a group, Zaïko Langa-Langa is a real orchestra that has stood the test of time to become an indisputable institution, a heritage.

In Kinshasa in 1974, on the occasion of the legendary Ali / Foreman boxing match, Zaïko was already there, on stage, alongside James Brown and Tina Turner for the big concert of this historic meeting. Sève, the group’s new album is an opportunity to dive into two CDs on a huge career. The mythical orchestra of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Zaïko Langa-Langa, introduces us to the clip of Systeme Ya Benda, taken from the double album Sève.

English Lyrics :

SYSTEME YA BENDA (System of leveling down)
What is happening now in society
What we see nowadays
Makes us worried
It is a system of leveling down
That doesn’t want people to succeed
Neither to move forward (2X)
The only grievance against me
The Almighty benediction on me
That brings success on me
That makes my business successful
That makes my music for many joyful
While it angers a few
Isn’t this wickedness
Yes, it is indeed
Isn’t this meanness
Yes, it is indeed
What is happening now in society
What we see nowadays
Makes us worried
Try to take a ride in the neighbourhood
Someone will look down at you
Get engaged in politics
You end up killed by poison
In the military
It is even worse
Among music artists
It is the battle of egos
Our society has changed
Adou Eyanga said it in his song
Our hearts have become wicked
We are now killing each other
An employee buys a car
Their boss becomes angry
A younger buys an estate
Their elder shows malice
A soldier buys shoes
Their officer gets furious
A musician becomes successful
Their conductor becomes jealous
A deacon buys a house
Their pastor becomes mean
The motorcycle taxi succeeds in business
The car taxi gets unhappiness
Isn’t this wickedness
Yes, it is indeed
Isn’t this meanness
Yes, it is indeed
What is happening now in society
What we see nowadays
Makes us worried
Try to take a ride in the neighbourhood
Someone will look down at you
Get engaged in politics
You end up killed by poison
In the military
It is even worse
Among music artists
It is the battle of egos
