On top of that, Mbilia Bel’s first song with Afrisa, released in 1981, was “Mpeve Ya Longo” (“Holy Spirit” in Kikongo), a moving song about spousal abuse. In the song, “she tells the story of a woman who had been abandoned by her husband and has to raise her children by herself“. The song was popular, especially among women in Zaire.
QUOTABLE LYRICS
Sikiliza mfano wako papaa
Sikiliza mfano wako ehee
Sitowe mbele ya watu papaa
Sitowe mbele ya watu ehee
Sababu gani ehee natoa makuta
Sababu gani ehee nashinda sipansio papaa
Siwezi kuiba papaa juu yako juu yako ehee
Siwezi kuiba papaa juu ya sifa yako
Leo hii aya ni yako unikane Mimi paka na wewe
Sababu Niko na wewe ndio nateseleshwa
Kama sikuwa na wewe papaa nisinge teseleshwa
Wabwana wananitamani Mimi sitaki
Tokea tangu zamani ujanipatia kitu
Wabwana wananitamaini Mimi sitaki
Tokea tangu zamani ujanipatia kitu
