This was a real hit in the seventies brings good memories once again thanks for posting them. My collection has so much scratches it will take me time to restore them.

[AboubacarSiddikh]

@josephinekiwanuka Do you have stuff that was never released on cd and do you have the ability to convert to digital and send it? If so, don't worry about the restoring, any song worth it, I will give my time (like this one, from Kenyan vinyl).

AboubacarSiddikh,

Fantastic song you have uploaded, the CD version has been truncated to 4 minutes (Shameful). Just wanted to know who the rest of the musicians were I know the vocalists, but who were playing the Guitars & the sax?

See my comments on my posting of Sukola Motema Olinga.

I have the song but do not know how to upload it. can someone tell me how?

[mouneeray]

@Okonda1000 I think this song is properly called "Savon ya Sika Astra" by Negro Succes

[Okonda1000]

I remember the sabuni ya Astro song, I promise to get it for you, I saw a copy at Melodica in Nairobi, next time am there I will remember to pick a copy. That and Sav omo they rocked,

I have records dating from 1970 onwards but the condition of neglect made some of them impossible to play but I had managed to record some of them on tapes. I will make arrangements to post you some oldies but you seem to have every song .

Real decent music. These guys were genius and did so to entertain not for money. Today's Zairean music is awful. I wonder what has gone wrong with the genetic pool of talents in the country. Today, the music popularly known as `sukus' or mabele or whatever is so bad that the general public associates it with immorality. It is associated with pub or bar environment and for the uneducated. Dancing is fast and immoral.

Yet TPOK was and is still listened to by the elites of today. Kudos siddikh.
