Samba - Orchestra Super Mazembe

[mbareboy]

Thanks bwanakeino for posting. My dad (RIP) used to dance to this song when I was a small boy. I now understand what enjoyment this brought to him.

[ndimosh]

Am really nostalgically  craving this kind of music it made me feel greater than

[MrKhaunya]

karibu sana bado iko supermazembe Nairobi utapenda

[namagembeful]

Iam a ugandan but i like Kenya as it carried a regacy of development in the 80s as we faced underdevelopment with several dictators in uganda and a day i would travel to Nairobi i was seeing Nairobi like london with those black cabs similar to these one here in london, by the way are they still there as you had to pay mia moja for any distance in Nairobi.I love Kenya.......Mombasa is great ''kuyingia ni lahisi ku toka ni matanga''!.

[7759516]

This music is fantastic, there is none to compare with.

[kesekwa]

@josephinekiwanuka If I am not mistaken,it was sung by David Amunga, and wish you luck if you get it.We played to the bone!!

[cotienoo]

Dear Bwanakeino,

congratulations. this one is great and no agony on the screen. Very great and interesting you fellow!

[josephinekiwanuka]

@cotienoo Hello Bwanakeino thank you for the name of the singer at least I can start from somewhere to look for it.

[mzuvendi]

Thanks Bwana Keino, umetukumbusha ujana wetu, thanks for sharing.

[chipochiroorwa]

This song has just taken me back in time. Back to my childhood.

[mukiibimukiibi]

Ihave a lot rewind when ever i hear these songs. keep it up.

[njiraini100]

BwanaKeino,

Please find for me songs by Nairobi Matata Jazz Band like Mama Kifagio, Dada Mwajuma, Zaina...etc. They remind me of the early 1980's

[bwanakeino]

@njiraini100 Just uploaded Dada Mwajuma for you. Zaina is called Sema Sha. Will upload it later.

[joshia407]

This music brings the recent past of East-Africa (kenya, Uganda and tanzania) in the front rooms of our homes today! Thanks alot how so ever uploaded music by our Giants of the past!

[yolanda7911]

Thank you I will keep waiting I know you will find it one day

[josephinekiwanuka]

Thank you. The one I mean came out in 1977 i have it in cassette I will try to post it. it is also very nice. I dont think there will be a chance to see it on video.

[josephinekiwanuka]

Thank you for this song. Have you got the original which is a bit faster by the same band.

[bwanakeino]

@josephinekiwanuka I have this song on cassette and CD and they're both the same. I bought the cassette in the late 80's and it sounds the same.

[kerema10]

a very relaxing song especially after job.

[acdcponq1963]

Bwanakiino, thanks a million for a job well done. Men, some of us been looking for this music everywhere for so many years. Hopefully, you and i get to share a cold one on my next visit to nairobi---los angeles!

[kanotaurus]

Wimbo  mzuri sana...

[casejordan]

Bwanakeino,

You have no idea how many people thank you daily for zilizopendwa like this one, Ndaya, Mfueni pua... etc.

G-d bless you for this songs.

Would you kindly upload something from Moreno( moja one) Like Pili Mswahili & co ?

That would be great.

All the same thanks alot for the ones you uploaded already.

[bwanakeino]

Thanks for your compliments. I don't have Moreno's songs but once I get them I will surely upload them. Enjoy.

[mairigenye]

I cried because of fond memories im high school dininh hall

[blueblack70]

Bwanakeino, you did a good job on these guys. I wasn't aware they disbanded in 1985. Their songs are still as fresh as they were when I first listened to the in the 80s. Would you post Samba part 2?

[Blackbrere]

Remainds me those days with Chege wa Gachaba playing at Green Hills Nyeri, he was residential DJ by then

Bwana Keino shukran kwa burudani hili, I remeber chagua lako the programme by Bwana Right Eddy Fondo, could anyone know where Eddy went to? If you can find Nabimake te, Katele, Lovy and Mayopa by the same guys I would be grateful, pongezi.

[mitjafashion]

Primary guitar and ambiance. Gentle and lilting, holding more strength ultimately, for with the breezes one must bend as do the branches and grasses that feed us and make our lives so beautiful to see!

[imonyata]

Really good vocals and excellent audio.Reminds one of the good old days when musicians did not rush but took time to produce what withstands the test of time.

[zuluman2008]

Bwnakeino wud you mind to post a song entitled MILANDU by these guys it was more of a national anthem in southern africa in the 70s.pliz Bwana try yo best.zimbabwean in diaspora

[zuluman2008]

These guys were great.sweet music oh life was just too sweet in the 70s.thanx for posting

[Fiskarrr]

Is the writer here named Bashilange saying that Longwa Didos (mzee wa kazi) was her/his father?

If you legitimately claim so and can provide proof, I am sure you can seek some legal assistance in tracking down the money makers.

I met Longwa in Kakamega with his staff and I would hate to see his family members suffer while some poppers leech his hard-earned royalties. Please get in touch with some of the pro music industry activists oversease especially in the UK/USA.

[kibokoyako]

How good it feels connected back home. Now you mkae me home sick....Super mazembe rocked kenya towns. thankyou Bwana...Wewe sio kidogo

[siasabora]

danced this all day and night....this was the ASK we went to..and beer!

[muvua07]

somebody in KBC/VOK must (AT least) have a Video/recording of SUPER MAzembe - or the logombas kids know where we need to start from to conserve this great sound.

[Nyakendu78]

Good old days! Nice music.

[ngugitube]

I think super mazembe--of those days-- because the enterprise still lives-- you can see them occasionally at SIMMERS next to 680 hotel in NBI-- I think they were the coolest band, stylish, great afros and flare trousers. . . first saw them at the NBI ASK show in 1976-- first time I ever saw a live band, loudest music and captivating beats I ever heard. I was hooked to live bands-- I was 10!

[Jkajwang]

Good old times. I love Super Mazembe. Those days dancing to the beats live at Nairobi Show!!!

[bobasi]

Waoh- took me back to my days in secondary school-good stuff!

[otty1982]

Mayie Super Mazembee, Tusker baridi na nyama choma uko Athi River.

[otty1982]

Even when I am so far away from Kenya, this kind of music revives my spirit about my country and it brings alot of memories.

[kapandajuwa]

wish we could reverse the times. old skool music with a touch of dignity.what else can you ask for. keep posting and refresh us with old skool music. we luv it.

[kapandajuwa]

old skool. that was the time. real music for real people with dignity.Wish could reverse the time and go back to the times i was in high skool. freedom from colonialism and western influence. were florishing. keep on posting this type of music.

[malimoto]

[otivoh]

When we talk about good music,entertaining,refreshing then this the music kind to listen to.sweet memories with a pilsner baridi mdogo mdogo what else could you ask for. vive la music.

[uhondo]

[pauleoy2k]

[jnyangoya]

[yakwetu]

Orch Mazembe is still active, albeit on a lesser scale, in Nairobi. Does anyone have their video clips ?

[miminawewe]

Bwanakeino you have them in good quality. Thanks.

[ballistic95]

[mkwalla]

HIZI NDIO MZIKI WACHA HIZI MAMBO MINGI

[Imani4040]

Yes, Bashilange etct this is music proper- Bana Mushosho! Reminds me of our sweet days in high school 1975-1980s. We used to dance their hit songs -from Southview to Kassongo, Na Bimaka and of course Samba! Who could beat these leading Lingala singers with lead guitarists, bassists, solo vocalits and drummers like "Bukassa" Bukalos, Kassongo wa Kanema, Kassongo Rappok, Dodo Dorrise, Atia Djo,....Any idea where one can purchase the CD? This music is very nostalgic...it has very fond memories.

[bashilange]

This was my father's band. I was realy young back then. I fondly recall the few rehearsals i used to attend as a litle boy in Eastleigh and juja road. Wonder who is making money of these songs now? since my dad never signed any contracts, and opted to tour instead.

[bashilange]

I was young back then, but this was my fathers band. Recalling the practices in Estleigh and lodgings in Juja road brings back plenty of memories. Very nostalgic. I recall all these guys, most of whom have passed on. Wonder who is making money of the CD?, since my dad never signed any contracts with record companies and opted instead to tour east africa.

[Miecell]

Oh man, even here in the US I have friends puzzled at the artistry in this track-right voices synchronized by crying solo guitar as executed by BUKALOS. On bass I think is Atia Djo then drums by Dododorise. Eeeh..wakati wao at KKGA Show. Could any one tell me who amongst them is still alive.
