The song "Laissez Passer" (also known as Mobali Sans Passeport), composed by saxophonist Matalanza with Josky Kiambukuta on lead vocals in 1983, tells the story of a woman’s domestic and emotional crisis after her husband abandons her.
Key Themes and Meaning
The Broken Promise: The husband left their home in Kinshasa for Congo Brazzaville on a temporary travel permit (a laissez-passer) intended for only two days.
Betrayal and Neglect: He has overstayed his visit indefinitely to be with other women ("rivals" in Brazzaville), leaving his wife alone and destitute in Kinshasa.
Extreme Financial Hardship: The wife laments that she has run out of money. She specifically notes that the funds he left behind were entirely spent on medication for their children.
Loss of Basic Services: Due to his absence and lack of support, the household's electricity and water have been disconnected.
The Desperate Plea: She begs anyone traveling between the two cities who might see him to tell him to come back home and fulfill his responsibilities as a father and husband.
The song is a classic example of Congolese Rumba storytelling, focusing on social issues, infidelity, and the vulnerability of families left behind during the cross-border movement between the two Congos.
