Origin

Zangalewa is a Cameroonian song.1 It receives the name of the first words of the song: Zamina mine Zangalewa.

The refrain has been used by different artists as part of their songs, among which: Golden Sounds, Las chicas del Can and Shakira stand out.

It was part of the repertoire of the soldiers, but also of various young groups such as scouts, all over Africa. It is a song of light rhythm, and is frequently used as a song for marches.

It was popularized in 1986 by the Cameroonian band Golden Sounds, which gave it great success and changed its name to Zangalewa.

It is also said that the meaning "Waka-waka" was a greeting made by soldiers from Cameroon during the Second World War.

This song is performed in the Fang language, corresponding to certain areas of Gabon, southern Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea and a little east of Central Africa. Being so popular leads to many times the song is sung without knowing the meaning.

Za engalomwa means in Fang language "Who sent you?" This is the question of a Cameroonian soldier to another of foreign origin, According to Guy Dooh, of the Zangaléwa group. The term "zangalewa" can also come from an expression in Ewondo: za anga loé wa ?, which would be "who called you?" Cameroon is a multi-ethnic and plurilingual country, and not all soldiers knew how to speak Ewondo, so it is very likely that over time the term za anga loé wa became the Zangalewa that we know today.
