Here's some information from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bembe_language_(Ibembe)
"Bembe (Ibembe) is a Bantu language of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Western Tanzania. According to Ethnologue, it forms a dialect continuum with the Lega language through Mwenga Lega. It has no connection with the Bembe (Kibembe) language of the Republic of Congo."...

Example #5: Yesu ni Mungu by Mungu Jakisa Jackson



MUNGU JAKISA JACKSON, Published on Jul 16, 2015

I've not been able to find information online about Mungu Jakisa Jackson and his group. Notes for two other videos that I've found for this singer indicate that the songs are preformed in the Congolese beat. For that scant reason, I'm guessing that this vocalist and his group are from the Congo. Please confirm or correct this information. Thanks!
