@ groovemonzter check out kagora1's vid on the same song, he plagiarized your slideshow and is stealing your views (btw he appears to deny it)

[groovemonzter]

@orangekush3 - thanks for the heads up. It's kind of funny actually. But hey, plagiarism is a high form of complement. And if you look at the end of his video you can still see my name.... hahaha :)

[memwana]

Groovemonzter - Thanks for posting this song. It reminds me of my teenage days on the Kenya/Tanzania border! Great times! the correct title to this song is "mama mdogo".

He says "Majirani oneni mateso haya, iwe wazi kama mama hanipendi, ....mama mdogo ananitesa sana, utafikiri hukuzaliwa na mama yangu" Mama mdogo is the your mother's younger sister - he complains about being mistreated by his mother's younger sister.

This one takes me back to the streets of Nairobi late 70s'. Men, i hope Wilfred kamande, John Gitau, Chris Okunyanyis, James kamanja muriithi,Chris ogondo and Josphine Kadiesa, could recall those days - Ravals sec school 1978. One love Los Angeles California.

[mwuzaji]

Viva TZ, Viva Mwinshehe

[Fiskarrr]

What a stunningly beautiful voice. The man was born an ambassador for TZ.

Highly gifted, creative, composer, and wiz guitarist we will always miss him.

The news of his death hit me like lightning while I was in Primary School. It is very very sad and what is annoying is that today there are no great musicians like him.

[DirkLind]

Great stuff, thanks for posting all this.

This is one of my favorite songs on my channel. I have more songs by Mbaraka Mwinshehe. I'll hunt through them and post another. Cheers.

[helsloot]

I can't understand the lyrics, but this song is just sheer joy!!

Thanks for posting.

[groovemonzter]

I agree with you totally. I can't understand a word in this song but love the singing. And the guitar playing. It's really beautiful. Thank you for stopping by!

[summersunt]

how did you even come to have an interest in this type of music? Are you naturally inquisitve or like your name suggests a groove seeker ?

:o))

[groovemonzter]

I'm a record collector. I was raised in California in the 1960's listenin to rock and roll. Then sometime in the 1980's I was in a used record store and I found the record "Original Synchro System" by King Sunny Ade. That opened the door to African music for me. Africa is the well from which all music flows. Discovering new musics of Africa is a never ending pleasure. And yes... I love a good groove :-)

[intrepeco]

You are the man Groovemonzter.. !!

Lets have fun..

[idropatrick]

This was really good. Its a pity that at that time music promotion in that part of Arfica was not so functional and many people dont even know about him in the East African region exept for adventurous types what a loss to music lovers who should really but know about such talent.

[memwana]

Actually the right title is "Mama Mdogo".

"Majirani oneni mateso haya...

Mama mdogo ananitesa sana sana kama yeye si ndugu na mama yangu. Anavyonitesa utafikiri mtoto wa kambo..."

[polinewc]

Yani mpaka miaka hii watu wanaendelea kufanya hivyo anavyoimba!Is so sad!ningekua Rahisi wa tTZwangenikoma.sijui kwanini hawaweki sheria kali ya kuwabana mama wa kambo na ndugu wanaowatesa watoto yatima.

Hello fellow Mbaraka Mwinshehe fans,

I am writing a dissertation about the history of dancehalls in Tanzania. I am particularly interested in the lives and memories of people who have spent time in Tanzanias dancehalls. What were the dancehalls like? What did people do there? Who went to dancehalls (and who did not?) Why were so many young people attracted to muziki wa dansi? Where did they learn to dance? And etc. If you have stories to share, I would love to hear from you.

Asanteni sana!

[ndothi6]
