This is a completely new band to me. I found it on shoutcast. What brilliant music!

How old are these guys?

[Okonda1000]

This guys still play music in Nairobi at Club Vibro in Nairobi west, and they play those songs the way they played them them years. Age has really caught up with them, but hat has never detered them from making their old moves, movies that used to wow us, not to mention the Platform shoes

[mysoukouss]

Ever listened to a track titled "Dada Mwajuma"? It shares some licks with Sakina

[orangekush3]

@LusaMonene thanks for the reply...cheers

[LusaMonene]

No OrangeKush3, this is not in Swahili but it is in a mixture of Swahili and one of the Bantu Languages in Eastern Africa, Lingala.

[orangekush3]

Is this in swahili?

[siasabora]

[Suleiman15]

Bwanakeino, you have made my day. I have been looking for these songs to no avail. Keep it up ssebo.

[AngryAfrikan]
