about

Kivustan is the first Bantunani's new single from fourthcoming album 'Intrigant' , marking the break, the guitars gradually give places to muted strings and piano sounding, the universe becomes almost soul with pop impulses. Surrounding himself with some big names producing R&B from US., the afrogroove bceome electronified without losing the magic of live and text. This song is a real Hymn against war in Kongo, It invite in its tune all the government to act quickly.

lyrics

Sorry brother,
time has come
I can’t wait the change
Many lives depends on
I have to stand up for their rights

I’m not afraid of CIA
I’m not American
Who can stand such situation
Too many women raped
Too many babies died

Who gave the order
Who crossed the border, brother
I can’t sit
I have to talk about it

Refrain :
Obama Obomi ngai (Obama, tu me tues / Obama, you are killing me)
Obama Obomi ngai
Obama Obomi ngai


Verse 2:
What ever I’m trying to do
I have to keep my self
Myself with my memory
My memory full of shame
My memory full of blood

How many victims
Do we have to see ?
Tell me,

Verse 3 :

I’m so sorry Mister
Time has come to break the silence
I can’t stand the violence
We all need to see that change

Refrain (X2)
Obama Obomi ngai
Obama Obomi ngai
Obama Obomi ngai


Bridge
Do you understand
Young soldiers
They are dying
In the difference of the world
They are suffering...ahhhh

Bridge :
I’m calling all the Bantu warriors
Chaka Zulu by my side
We are going to walk to Washington
It’s going to be our Kingdom
They are going to see our mother cries
They are going to see our blood
No one can’t stop us

I want to see my mother
How can you stand it
we all need more justice
That ‘s what I’m asking, please

Refrain (X2)
Obama Obomi ngai
Obama Obomi ngai
Obama Obomi ngai

about

Bantunani Paris, France

More than music, Bantunani is primarily an adventure, the will of a person to continually unite around her musicians from all walks of life to draw a sound, thought, and a groove nomadic that caresses the ages languages and styles. It rubs happy soul, funk, R & B and Afrobeat in a world where the guitars are expressed between joy and arrogance behind hushed vocals. ... more
