The days of the bell bottom tight fitting shirts and platforms. just listen to the genious displayed from 4:35 to 5:20. they dont do music like this nowadays! creativity died with this age group
This has unbelievable drumming by i think mbuta benanzo, great double bass an mi-solo ace guitar picks. I bow my head in reverence to this great work. At this point in time, Shama Shama would have outdone O.K. Jazz for a moment without effort. When you put into consideration the fact that these musicians would sometime compose three song in a day and have them recorded, you begin to realize what talent they really had. I wish someone would get us something from Fuka Fuka especially Baba Isaiah.
Different types of music is good in many ways. But this! This strikes the heart like no other music, in the whole world, can! Memories are made of these ... The mid 70's at Maseno School!!! Oh, them days! Oh, this Mopero's Okomi Kolangwa! ... It's just like yesterday ... Thanks so much!
oyo ndule!posa na lela,je suis brazzavillois ms le gd Mopero,reste na mutu na ngayi,boyoka ye bien,bokoyoka ata kombo ya ministre moko te,ou x,y,wana ezalaki ndule,lelo ekoma kaka bakombo ya bato.
La belle epoque ,avec mes copains Edingo,Martin Siecle ,Wella,Don Mayasi,Edo Dokolo, Pele Bondo , dans un bar la tempete a Masina,quand jouait Mopero wa Maloba,on lui jeter souvent des colibets que on etait des masta gangs,cela irriter souvent Mopero a tel point qu'il nous disait ,qu'il etait Kingo Ebende.....Mopero t'etait vraiment un vrai Kingo Ebende................MOGBAGULE
this music never never never die !!! nobody can't do like they did !!! great moment of african (center) music ! my youth !!!
cette musique ne pourra jamais mourir il sera dure d'égaler cette période très créative et alliant les rythmes traditionnels !!! Vraiment merveilleux j'ai les larmes qui coulent par plaisir !!!
Mopero wa Maloba! The song reminds me of my high school days...music was actually made by people and not machines and porn had not yet taken over Congo music. Just listen to the mi-solo 3:01
Drum 'n Bass twenty years before businessmen/DJs took over the music scene globally. This music by humans not machines playing stolen licks. I would never use bits of this track and many others from Congo-EA to make music. I'd rather play it myself. This song really makes guitarists' eyes light up... and as for the drums, storming bassline, and the vocals it lands in my TOP 5 of alltimes.
Creativity in its true colors. These guys did not play for money, they were simply artistic. This music brings both joy and tears especially when I think of the sweet days of High School when life was fun. My late parents were there then. Great friends were plenty. There was no tribalism. No HIV epidemic. No inflation. Folks were simple and equal.
The first time I heard such a beat was when I was at Kigoma as GM. It was hard for me to listen to such music when I was used to Franco, Tabuley and others. I was surprised people in Kigoma were happy with such a beat. It was a revolution of Congo music.
The song Ngali was by the group orch. Les Kamale and what's more, it's available on youtube. Go on search for it and enjoy listening. These were truly great numbers.
Thank you a million, I have been looking for these songs for decades, only one song i cant find is called NGALI i dont know who played that song, was in late 70. it starts with " nakei, nakei mwana kozonga,mobemba elekili zambee, ee, mwana kozonga ee, yansolo, ngali..... i dont know the words i dont speak Lingala, i speak swahili, been in Canada too long mow i cant even speak good swahili any more. If anybody knows about this song please let me know, thanks in advanced
Man! A friend of mine came from Senegal and lended me his i-pod, then I listen to the Great Mopero!! I couldn't believe it!!! I was a little kid in the 70's, but even today I still like the music! Great! Great tunes!!!
This is when Congo's Woodstock spread across the entire African continent. A generation of great singers who shook, oops, electrified Africa! Thanks Congo!
Hey, I recall how Fred Ombachi Machokaa used to play these and other songs such as Moni Afida on Sundays afternoons ...mmmm walala...! Those were the best years 1975'....1978.
the dance style was called "cavacha" and orchestra shama shama sometimes called themselves orchestra cavacha, maybe because of copyright rules. we had a footballer at kakamega high school called hagai mirikau shama-shama. it shows how sweet this music was and still is. thanks for spinning it to us.
Reminds me of them days when I would hop from one radio station, Radio Uganda, Radio Rwanda broadcasting from Kigali,Sauti ya Kenya, etc, just to listen to Mopero and his Shama Shama Orchestre.How I wish these songs could be remastered but after looking for this song for years you can't believe how I grateful I am to finally listen to Mopero in his prime. By the way while looking for this song,I would always be directed to a Mopero singing some christian hyms; I wonder if he is the same maestro.
bet ya. when i get frustrated with those political idiots its time to relax with some good music from africa,where it all started, and something cold, defineitely not a soda or tomatoe juice. Then as immerse myself in music I wonder how come most leaders world over are idiots.If Darwin was right then its the worst outcome of natural selection. Danm nature
Good memories. l was at Thika Technical School
