Песня о Лумумбе Музыка: Дм. Покрасс Слова: М. Вершинин Конго, далёкий чёрный материк. Конго, ты сердца пламенного крик! Конго, колонизаторской ордой Убит герой твой молодой! Припев: В огне и дыме Лумумба с нами, Лумумба с нами, брат наш боевой! Лумумба – имя! Лумумба – знамя! Лумумба в сердце Африки живой! Конго, горит земля твоя сейчас, Конго, твой гнев священный не угас! Конго, здесь миллионы встанут в бой Гордится мир твоей борьбой! Припев Конго, врагам тебя не удушить! Конго, ты победишь и будешь жить! Конго, мы за тебя встаём стеной, Тебе поможет шар земной! Припев 1961

about

To commemorate the martyrly death of Patrice Émery Lumumba on January 17, 1961

The title track is a spoken word (music taken from The Song of Lumumba, which is coming next) by one of the famous political journalist of the Soviet era, Alexander Evgenievich Bovin (1930 — 2004), who was a top political analyst on the Soviet TV in 1970-80th. On this track he comments on the situation in Zaire/Congo in 1978 under General Mabutu's rule. The Ventures' theme is a caption track of cult analytical program "Mezhdunarodnoje Obozrenije" (International Review) whose commentator was Alexander Bovin.
The second track is the song itself, telling the story of the brutal killing of the first democratic leader of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Patrice Lumumba, who was one of the anticolonial hero in the Soviet international mythology. His name is still carried by the streets in many cities of the former Soviet Union and also by a world-known University in Moscow.
