@Hatanawe - Shukrani! I also found out that you can get the CD with this song online from amazon and cduniverse. I also happened to have been interested in Black Star's 'chozi lanitoka' and I found the CD with that song on the two sites as well.
One lady who contributed a lot to Zuhura's songs is Aunty Khuleta of Mji Wa Kale Mombasa....Compilling the poems and put dem into sweet lyrics. Just Like Ustadh Ahmad Juma Bhalo to Bhalo songs...unfortunately such people do not get recognitions...Bahati Mbaya.
Jino la pembe sio da ya pengo--- for those who don't know, this is a famous Swahili Proverb which you would comonly hear if you were in Lamu. It means an Ivory's tooth is not a cure for the lost one.
@aabdulll asante sana kwa kufafanua maana ya Jino la pembe, je inawezekana kuandika hizo lyrics kutoka dakika 2:56? I'm from nairobi, so we speak and sound different from you guys from Coast, but have always had admiration for the way you speak swahili huko Pwani- asante sana kwa usaidizi wako!!!!!!!!
Kweli jino lapembe ni dawa ya meno, kwa sababu, ukishinda ukitafuna tafuna chochote meno huoza, basi jeno la pembe, likiaanza kukomaa, inabidi upunguze kula, kwani jeno hilo huumaa!
Mama Zuhura, I would like to say thank u for all your songs, I have been listenig to your songs since when I was 7 years old, and I am 37 Years old now. still love all your songs, may God bless u for being part of my happiness. Bahati mbaya nime sahaw kiswahili, but still loveit, from sudan
I moved to her house as a single mother aged 18.I did not even know how to feed my son, Zuhura was the mom I never had,, she gave me tough love.. and tought me how to b a woman..Iam now self emplyed at the States, my son is 12 ,,Thanx Zuhura AMANA MAMA ABUI miss Barisheba,,, msikitini
mimi naishi hapa Marekani lakini wafanya najisikia niko nyumbani Kenya na Afrika Mashariki. Kazi yako ni safi, tafuta nyimbo zingine kali kama hii ya Zuhura.
ZUHURA SWALEH has been one of the most prolific female voices in Tarab- the wedding music of the Swahili people of the East African coast - ever since she entered the Mombasa scene in the late sixties. The fame and careers of her closest rivals were rather short-lived, neither Shakila nor Malika could rival her staying power. Young singers like Mwanahela and Sitara Bute may be the talk of town in Mombasa these days, yet Zuhura is still going strong.
