NGANDA LOPANGO BATEKISA/THE BAR WHERE WE USED TO PARTY HAS BEEN SOLD-TP OK JAZZ

The phrase "Nganda Lopango Batekisa" refers to a 1983 Congolese rumba song composed by Simaro Lutumba and performed by T.P. OK Jazz. It is a poignant expression of loss and the finality of a relationship. Meaning and Translation The title translates from Lingala to mean: "The bar (nganda) where we used to party, the plot/land (lopango) has been sold". Key Themes of the Song Irreversible Loss: The "sold" plot serves as a metaphor for a place of shared memories that no longer exists, representing the total erasure of a past life together. Betrayal and Gossip: The narrative centers on a woman whose marriage was destroyed because friends misinterpreted comments she made while intoxicated and reported them to her husband. Regret and "Love Sickness": The lyrics warn that dwelling on these lost memories can lead to physical or mental illness, a common theme in Simaro's "social realism" compositions. Contrast of Time: It juxtaposes the early days of mutual devotion with the current reality of abandonment and the "erasure" of their shared history. The song is celebrated for its deep philosophical lyrics and featured lead vocals by Josky Kiambukuta alongside Madilu System and others.
