A birth announcement in Bolenge, a village of the Belgian Congo, went like this: Batoko fala fala, tokema bolo bolo, boseka woliana imaki tonkilingonda, ale nda bobila wa fole fole, asokoka l’isika koke koke. The mats are rolled up, we feel strong, a woman came from the forest, she is in the open village, that is enough for this time.
