The cover of the LP presents a characteristic picture of Mobutu in his iconic outfit: the abacost, a leopard-skin toque and carved wooden stick. It demonstrates how music was used by the Zairean government to \u0026#39;unite\u0026#39; the country and, in a somewhat subtler way, to warn critics not to openly criticise Mobutu.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn de aanloop naar de presidentsverkiezingen van 1984 sponsorde de Congolese regering een propagandaplaat die de bedoeling had de herverkiezing van Mobutu, die op dat moment bijna twintig jaar in functie was, te ondersteunen.

Op de hoes staat een karakteristieke foto van Mobutu in zijn iconische outfit: abacost, toque in luipaardvel en gekerfde houten stok.
