WORLDWIDE WEDNESDAY: Dodou, "Lingala Music"

Ladies and Gentlemen, once again, Mr. Peter Jordan:
 
A few weeks ago a passenger plane crashed in eastern Congo killing 36 people. You didn't know that? Yeah, no one did.
 
Today we honor Congolese music to remind us to pay attention to issues and concerns around the world, not just in New York, New Jersey, and some of Connecticut.
 
(Note 1: I'm posting a song with strong female voices to honor the Women in the World conference and the really horrible conditions for women in eastern Congo.)
 
(Note 2: I can't do a translation. The song talks about marriage, children, lost love, losing one's way/path, hearts and spirits, but it's too fast for me to put it all together. I think Dodou rushed into some things and now is being entreated to do the right thing.)
