Ingeta! (Freedom!) from Kinshasa Singles by Mulele Matondo Afrika
“This song was written late at night during a power cut... power cuts were every day. I felt angry and betrayed that such a rich country could not provide for the people, even the most basic things for survival... for livity... how can we ever go anywhere? That is why INGETA! was written. I want to expose our struggle, but also our talent, which is worth investing in.” Mulele Matondo Afrika
