On Stage With Remmy Ongala & Orch. Super Matimila 1988

00:00 Sauti ya Mnyonge (Bati Osenga)

07:05 Asili ya Muziki (Remmy Ongala)

13:23 Maisha (Remmy Ongala)

19:45 Kifo (Remmy Ongala)

26:57 Mama Mzazi (Remmy Ongala)

32:58 Narudi Nyumbani (Remmy Ongala)

This is a bootleg, it was released behind Remmy's back (as told to us by Remmy in person) and I guess he never got paid. And the sleeve stinks too (I can't see any African people dancing in the drawing on the sleeve, what the heck?). But hey! The music's great and it sounds much, much better than anything he recorded in the "Real World" studios in England.

ABOUBACAR........I don't know how you come up with so much that you upload, but I just have to say a most incredible THANK YOU for the wide variety of obscure old stuff that shows up on your channel. We truly lost an amazing musician and bandleader when ''The Doctor'' died. I was lucky enough to see Orchestra Super Matimila in ,I believe ,fall of 1993, when they toured with the WOMAD show that came to San Francisco. I have to say they were very strong.SONGS FOR THE POOR MAN was just out.

Thanks Aboubacar for this one. As much as it might be a bootleg I have to concur that this sounds much better than most of his other recordings. Thanks a lot for sharing.
