  • @Ogomkenee Omar Bongo was a very short man! Look at his son ( a real duplicate of himself) He coined this style to "increase" his height a little! I was in St. Jose's College, Layibi. The next day after Bongo's visit, I had a pair of "Gabon" shoes!

  • Sorry Odirag to hear that - may your bro rest in peace. Yes Lipua Lipua music is quite consoling - their voice and the guitar as well.  I'd like to play those guitar rythymns and solo. Take care.

  • Brings both sad and happy memories. I remember my late bro who was killed by a neighbour in 1975 then and his schoolmates from Uriri came to his funeral and played this record. After that I consider this song one of the best. Composed by Malanda and his colleagues then, V Mombassa, Nyboma, Nzayadio, et al.

  • 1975 : Gulu High School in Northern Uganda. That was the bumping year. Bell-bottomed trousers (KALISOS) and platfom shoes popularly call Bongo or Gabon. It was President Omar Bongo of Gabon, on a visit to Idi Amin in Uganda, who first stepped on the red carpet with those shoes. Locals were impressed and they named the fashionable shoes (at that time) after Bongo or his country Gabon. Yes we bumped and bumped..... What a time it was. We were indeed a new generation at that time. Thanks

  • Takes me back to 1975 after my A-levels, my first beer in Nairobi west. Sitting with my girl friend and my pals, playing these records on the juke box and feeling sooo good. Do kids enjoy life like we did?

  • In 1976, I could make a triple bump. I have tried it just now and wapi, where has the vigour gone? Bell bottoms that could sweep a road were the in thing!

  • @imayn you are crazy you mind kotto bass

  • Njiraini100 and faboge, We are age mates. I was class of 76 Lenana School, so I remember the ASK show disco - only that I actually entered the tent and got down! Lipua lipua pelele!

  • OMGD I am 15 years old all over again!

  • It reminds me of the 1st time I visited Nairobi ASK in 1975 as a young boy on a school trip and then I heard the track from one of the disco places. I preaded with one of the bouncers to let me in to see where 'that big sound was coming from' but would not allow me as I was under age.He later allowed me to peep thro' for about 5 min. and that made excited about live bands for many years after.
