Artist: Julienas with Pibawa Band
Author: George 'King' Mwanangele
Year: 1993
Live on a festival in Lancy, near Geneva. George Mwanangele was a street musician with Congolese roots who died in 2007, still waiting for the (positive) outcome of the plagiarism case he'd started. This radio tape was the only pre Kana version surviving. Mwanangele's daughter used this unique live recording in court.
Part of Kana's refrain reminds of Julien Clerc's Melissa ('84).
