KAMARU:TWTHIAGA TUKENETE

[lusaka99]

what language is this 

[wainegene]

This is an uplifting and sad song (shady for the misinformed). It talks about the young men leaving for the forest during the emergency (it was either that or be detained in the detention camps). Listen to tsome of the lyrics carefully:

We left happy,

we will return happy,

our journey was easy

getting there and back

we were able to bear a lot of punishment

and a lot of suffering

we resolved not be afraid

Strength leaves the body eventually (Death will come to us all)

[mambopat9]

this is so good stuff! Its good being Home!

[irurakn]

thaaai thathaya Ngai

[Minneh99]

If I had gone home with makaratasi bandia, rugendo rwakwa rutingiari (phone)

[almunjama]

@Minneh99 Makaratasi bandia nimaguthukia rugendo! Kaba uthie haria local one uhenie redi imwe ya guuku gachamuka itungati riime regu uhoro wagire!!

[Minneh99]

Uhoro ni mwega riu. Mwathani arogocwo.

[pwakanyi176]

Natamani mtush

[wachaushenzi]

Looking very chiefly over there in that Kikuyu attire

[moranih]

Excellent! The only musician I've seen so far who kept the kikuyu dance moves and those shoes! The West copied from us kumbe? Expensive clothing- roko one is which one? I think I'm from roko 3 or something.

[longarop]

This kind of music can entertain both people who understand it and those who don,t because it is really so nice to hear.

[virusbug]

ruru ni ruimbo ruega muno.myumba ya mumbi no muhaka tunyitane kana tuninuo ni makabira maya mangi.b proud of who u r.u wa not born a kikuyu by accident.we must defend our young n old.

[albertiskiarie]

kamuiri put wendo wa chebe chebe please.

[karuraforest]

put the song where by the colonial goverment came and disraputed your wedding, thats a nice song

[evamona87]

just watched the whole video..this is one of my fave songs on it...kikuyu 4eva...

[mcmzee]

kikuyu warriors...we rule kenya....wapende wasipende!!!!!...kibaki our jamba

[ommutete]

wewe na nani?kenya ni ya kila mtu,kibaki will never bring mokimo to your table,juz mind wat you say pliz,for security purposes

[njeriwajudi]

there are some kikuyus that want peace first then truth and justice for all kenyans and the freedom to vote for woever they want without corruption

[simbamlanyama]

Chunga your speeche,kenya belongs to all kenyans regardless of ethinicity,you must have been raised in a small village where you regarded only Kikuyus were Kenyans,the problem we have have been caused by people with such mentality.

[kimonye]

when kikuyus were being killed in rv you did not say a thing

[simbamlanyama]

Either Kikuyus been killed or Kalenjins or Luo's its wrong and evil,Kenya is for Kenyans not for particular people

[BIRBENI]

Traditional yet mordern, thats the paradox of some of the best African music - esp. South Africa and Ethiopia.I love the mix or is it the fine blend!

[missthika]

nothing but respect.he has given us great songs.more kikuyu songs on youtube please.

[254highlands]

kamaru right on the money thats exactly...how the original sounded...my fav part of the song 'we withstood many atrocities' true feeling during the colonial days..so why should i listen to westernized music when someone is singing about my history which happened on the eve of our independence!! know what the words mean today!!!go head my peeps loving you...

[Kamuthoni]

Kawira noi kararutwo..... no doubt!!

[njeriwajudi]

dont insite anger by supporting corruption kawera kau oraiga was got through theft

[obohoo]

hi please explain whats uar understanding of "kawera kau"

[254highlands]

A change of pace: In appreciation

I II tell u what dosen't bug me: an opportunity to vent, and to make positive and creative suggestions for the things that do bug me! thank u for youtube. No venting today - just saying thanks!

[254highlands]

wow i get to see kikuyu traditional attire however one piece is missing the all around rapa which is leather and the hanging earlobes my grandmother had all this and was beauty to the teek...good trial kamaru loving it

[w2es2t5y7u]

nice song

[karisdom]

Reminds me the stories my mother used to tell me about maumau.For sure our history will never die.

[kamaundemi]

[Mupuro]

[wildeekenya]

Good job, but where is the rest of kamaru music datingdecades including kindu kia muna?

[mutitika]

Mr Kamaru wuui tuma nyimbo nyingi cia muthembo uyu haha ni njega tuu. Geithia mwalimu muna

[dedanid]

this is so great seeing our one n only old man who we used to enjoy his music those old days.he is one of the best kikuyu musician if not the best

[ogiom77]

When you watch the video,it takes your mind back home. NINJEGA TU!

[2007Obi1]

coollll!!!!!!!

[chancesk]

Totally cool! Good to see Kamaru again!

[stjarnhimmel]

This also would be entertainment for that particular village/town. To inject back some cultural "come back" where we kenyans can enjoy our tribal music and reflect. We are culturally very poor at the moment. We africans are heading westwards and neglecting our african cultures....The west do not head to our cultures at the detrimental of their own culture!!

[stjarnhimmel]

I could watch kamaru and his beautiful girls many times. it takes me back to "Celina" and wonder if he lives and if he does, power to him. I also wish that we had a "minister of African culture whereby each village/town in kenya would meet once a month round a football field and sing tradational songs to the "audiences" so that the new generation can uppgrade their knowledge of their cultures.

[stjarnhimmel]

It is a wonderful song for any person listening, especially if one is a kikuyu. Kamaru was very popular in the seventies, I enjoyed his song "Celina" and i WISH the kikuyus would take up our tradations again and sing such songs.....at festivals, like it was before and all of us would go to such festivals. Wishing that we would find ourselves again and appreciate our roots, and kAMARU would lead the way and us. love kamaru

[stjarnhimmel]

It is a pity that alot of our "today" africans have lost their tradations. It would be wonderful for the ministry of culture, if there is one, to organise such festivals featuring tradional dancers and of cos the big one, there called kamaru. I really enjoyed his song.....I hpe he lives long

[stjarnhimmel]

Wishing that we would find ourselves again and appreciate our roots, and kAMARU would lead the way and us. love kamaru

[Adenmussa]

Im not kikuyu but the songs reminds me back home, hahaha.

[ricenda177]

good to see Kamaru is still out there an kicking an being great.Incredible.This cat never seems to get old.
