- A very rare Kiam song from 1984. No associated LP album as far as I can tell. I have read that Kiam broke up before 1980, so maybe this was a one-off reunion release? I'd love to know more. I was amazed when I tracked down this 45.
It's a great song and the classic Kiam ensemble vocals are there, but the production is typically 80's soukous, chorus on the guitar and prominent hi-hats in the mix.
Sweet melody
Classic vocals of vintage Kiam of Muzola Ngunga, Bakolo Keta, Eddie Mboyo and Botuli Ilonge. Sweet memories
True
Bless them Muzola ngunga and the entire kiam group
Such a vocal like the old Kiam. Muzola Ngunga "Zany zonga na ndako" such a group ndenge nini?
Great song. You could also look for Ya Mbuta recorded by Kim Kim Band. This is perhaps the last single they played as the original group in 1979
Bravo...!
est ce que les chanteurs sont encore en vie?? vraiment une très belle chorale hooo la bonne époque et le vrais son écoutez les guitares et le drummeur
Most of the singers are still alive, perhaps all of them in fact. I've been in contact with a writer who is working on a history of the band, and he has been able to contact and interview most of the past members.
@@adamkozie9878 Lele Nsundi the rythm guitarist may be no more.. right?
@@jm04151975 Here is a link to the oral history that Matthew Lavoie put together: afropop.org/articles/congos-overlooked-orchestre-kiam-the-story-of-an-oral-history
Could someone upload 'Masumu part 2". This is one of Kiam's greatest guitar
Impeccable
Kudos kiamwangana
i think it is a Nairobi reissue, which would explain the later date. They issued three albums in Nairobi
Wasn't Vévé always based out of Kinshasa, though?
yes, in the 1970s, and later from 1980 Paris. Doesnt prevent him from making a deal in Nairobi. See my discography

Excellent research you did! I thought I was the only one moved by Kiam! I was just as curious about the band but there was no information. To add insult to injury, I did not speak any French!
You'll love this then: afropop.org/articles/congos-overlooked-orchestre-kiam-the-story-of-an-oral-history it's a very detailed history of the band, compiled and written by the kind of polyglot who could really do it justice. I'm proud to have contributed some information to the effort.
@@adamkozie9878 This is the kind of information I have been looking for. I have heard that they had 5 vocalists. It also sounds like they played two rythm guitars! Lele Nsundi & Djo Morena.. Thanks Adam!!
Can someone upload 'Abeba'. This is one of Kiam's greatest hits.
It's up in a few places, check it out: czcams.com/video/VB-ZvK37QT8/video.html

Thanks a million Adam for the prompt reply. There was a Kamiki version of early 80's. Do you have it?
I don't but I'd love to hear it! This is the first Ive heard of that.
