This song is from the Katanga Province in southern Congo. Nowadays, it's sung all over the world.
This song became known around the world when a Belgian priest named Father Guido Haazen tried to disseminate music from the Congo abroad with a choir he formed called Les Troubadours du Roi Baudouin. They toured Europe for six months in 1958 and even sang at the World's Fair in Brussels.
