It was recorded in Brussels after Josky was convinced by Franco to return to TPOK Jazz. Josky had left the band in 1986 and recorded a number of albums with Ntesa Dalienst, Serge Kiambukuta and Esperant Kisangani<\/p>\n<p>Upon his return, Franco rewarded Josky with his own album\u00a0within the TPOK Jazz setup. In addition to <em>Minzata<\/em>, the song also featured the classic disco hit <em>Kita Mata Bloque<\/em> as well as a rendition of Josky&#8217;s early 1980s hit &#8220;<em>Tokabola<\/em> <em>Sentiment<\/em>&#8221; which was now known as &#8220;<em>Osilisi Ngai Mayele<\/em>&#8220;. All three songs are about the problems of love, a common theme for Josky.<\/p>\n<p>This particular song\u00a0&#8220;Minzata&#8221; is about a man whom after several years of marriage,\u00a0 has just deserted the marriage to\u00a0live with a girl on the pretext that his wife no longer appreciates him. The wife denounces the action of the husband. She asks how could the man leave her\u00a0after making her have so many children, in addition to doing all the housework. She expresses her feelings of suffering and finally in a defiant mode decides that she is abandoning the marriage as well.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from Josky, there are lyrics by Madilu System and Malage de Lugendo.<\/p>\n<h2>Song Video<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/18IWZKTCwao\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>Translation and Lyrics<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/kenyapage.net\/music\/songs\/minzata\/minzata1.jpg\" width=\"407\" height=\"394\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/kenyapage.net\/music\/songs\/minzata\/minzata2.jpg\" width=\"610\" height=\"629\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/kenyapage.net\/music\/songs\/minzata\/minzata3.jpg\" width=\"471\" height=\"586\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/kenyapage.net\/music\/songs\/minzata\/minzata4.jpg\" width=\"474\" height=\"635\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/kenyapage.net\/music\/songs\/minzata\/minzata5.jpg\" width=\"485\" height=\"533\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/kenyapage.net\/music\/songs\/minzata\/minzata6.jpg\" width=\"523\" height=\"676\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/kenyapage.net\/music\/songs\/minzata\/minzata7.jpg\" width=\"452\" height=\"666\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 50%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"http:\/\/kenyapage.net\/franco\/\">Franco and TPOK Jazz website<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"http:\/\/kenyapage.net\/music\/\">Kenya Music Page<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\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\/minzata-by-josky-kiambukuta-lyrics-and-translation\/\"\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>Introduction to Minzata The song Minzata is from the 1987 album &#8220;Franco Presente Josky Kiambukuta&#8221;.
