Congolese Music Rocks!!! Radio

congolese music has such an influence on the african continent that you will often come across soukous from various countries such as ivory coast, gabon or kenya... i just let u know that i won't add those artists to the group (except if they originally come from Congo), not that their music is not good but i really want to make the group specific and focused on congolese artists... hope you understand, thank you ;o)

Sidaction - Faites passer le message
ft. Youssoupha (son of Tabu Ley Rochereau) and Fally Ipupa

Manu Dibango: "on n'attrape pas le SIDA en buvant dans le même verre que quelqu'un, ni en l'embrassant, ni en lui serrant la main, toi-même tu sais, alors...'Faites passer le message'" (you don't get AIDS by drinking in the same glass as someone else, neither by kissing this person or shaking their hand. you know it, so..."spread the word")

Chorus' lyrics:
Faites passer le message (spread the word)
Faites passer le message, faites passer oh (spread the word, spread it)
Assez discriminés (stop discrimination)
Discriminer n'est pas jouer oh (discrimination is not fair)
