Bilongo, lots of versions

Changui
What I hear is this:

Soft cool muted trumpet solo at the beginning, then they sing something like this, phonetically: "kity boom, mantina, kitty boom, mantina...". Feel free to correct the lyrics 8) I asked the dj once, but I think he meant another song, :? because he told me somethinkg like "Lindo Yambu"...but no version that I have!

thanks
 
Could it be "Kikiribu Mandinga" ? :-)
The tune is usually called "La Negra Tomasa", or "Kikiribu"... there are dozens of versions.
 
Those lines are used in a few songs (or maybe one song but redone many times). One that comes to the top of my head is Bilongo by Eddie Palmeiri. But there are quite a few versions of the song that I've heard.
