  • Description: Jean Ndjela (a personal friend of Ombiza's) was a thief on a grand scale. When arrested for stealing goods to the value of 2 to 3 million francs, about 20,000 pounds, he implicated a number of other people to whom he had given stolen goods and when he appeared before the court he was followed, not only by them, but by ten porters bearing the stolen merchandise on their heads 'enough to stock another shop.' The singer concludes with the words "Jean Ndjela, I wish you courage and patience. I only hope you will not die in prison." Topical song, with guitar, bottle and friction stick.

  • Description: Stories of this kind are a peculiar invention of the Congo askaris, who have a large variety of them. This one is about a soilder who had three sons who refused to go to school and set out to educate themselves. One went to Leopoldville, one to Elizabethville and the third to Brussels. The last one, Jean Pierre, the youngest son, became a professional theif. He stole a fine car and drove it all the way up through Africa and on to Brussels in Beligium. There, he presented himself at the Palace. The Queen Astrid received him very graciously and asked him he wanted Jean Pierre was so overcome and taken aback at her kind request that he could think of nothing to say except "Some water please." Presently the King came in, having been on a long journey and when he saw Jean Pierre he ordered up the askari and had him flung into gaol, after which his friends would have nothing to do with him. The moral od the story, they said, is that one should not steal, and if the soilders steal, they say, their wives have them flung into gaol. These Congo soilders appear to have invented a wonderful way of ensuring the attention of the audience throughout their stories, at unexpected intervals, the story teller shouts out "Histoire" to which everyone must immediately respond "Onolo!" No one could explain to us the origin of the response and whether the word was of French or African origin, 'en or' or 'onolo'. (Copied from disc). Story
