It refers to the river that is now referred to as River Congo. However the song is not actually about the river. It is a song dedicated to Jeanine Mbole who was Simaro&#8217;s wife. The song was originally called <em>Masuwa<\/em>. It was released in 1973 and delivered soulfully by Sam Mangwana who at the time was among the lead singers of TPOK Jazz.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone \" src=\"https:\/\/kenyapage.net\/music\/images\/mangwana-checain.jpg\" width=\"353\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Synopsis<\/h2>\n<p>The song reflects a real life situation in which Simaro accompanied his wife to the River Bank where she was to travel by boat up the River Zaire.
