Tshala Mwana being from the Southern part of Congo and being from the Baluba tribe where Kiswahili is often used , sung a lot of songs in Zaire-swahili. In this video clip, Mbilia pays tribute to Tshala by singing a song in Kiswahili. Mbilia herself sung quite a few songs in Kiswahili during her heyday. In this song, she is\u00a0 admonishing fathers not to marry off their daughters at a young age.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CjpYXVhaBk4?feature=player_detailpage\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This is a song admonishing parents not to send their daughters to marriage while they are still too young.

She shows that at age 61, she is still able to twerk and swing her hips in a manner that would cause most women in their sixties to dislocate their hips. And her angelic messo-soprano voice has actually gotten better with age.<\/p>\n<p>Many East Africans make the mistake of saying that Zaire-swahili or Congolese-swahili is broken swahili or an attempt by Congolese to speak Kiwahili. What seems like broken swahili to East Africans is actually the standard swahili spoken in Eastern and Southern Congo.<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 50%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kenyapage.net\/music\/africa.html\"><br \/>\nBack to Africa Music Centre<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/kenyapage.net\/commentary\/songs\/mbilia-bel-still-hot-in-her-60s\/\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground:  !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this track , Mbilia Bel pays tribute to Tshala Mwana on her birthday.
