BADIBANGA WA TSHILUMBA: THE LES MANGELEPA MASTER SHOWMAN
January 02, 2025 - 04:58 PM
BY JEROME OGOLA Described by Standard Newspaper cartoonist Mado as “a band within a band”, Badibanga Wa Tshilumba aka Kaikai was a spectacle to behold in Les Mangelepa shows. His showmanship oozed naturally. He was a master of the stage. Although trying to do his choreography in synchrony with the other members on stage, he oftentimes ended up a one man show as he outwitted them. He knew how to do it. Badibanga Wa Tshilumba was a rare talent. He was Nairobi's most known trombone player, and possibly the only one in the secular circles outside the military. He made his trombone miraculously outstanding, thus creating a wonderful harmony with the super saxophones......
KAMARU'S JOURNEY IN MUSIC
December 31, 2024 - 10:33 PM
BY JEROME OGOLA There was a musician who was summoned to Gatundu by Mzee Kenyatta, the then Kenya's president, and thoroughly flogged by an angry Mzee. This was a popular celebrity gossip that also made inroads to political discourses in the mod 1970s.What was the musician, and what was the dispute that made old Jomo, that angry? It was all about a song that was released after the assassination of JM Kariuki, pointing an accusing finger at Mzee Kenyatta and suggesting he was complicit. Two songs had been released at the time, themed on the assassination. The songs were by DK Mwai and Joseph Kamaru, both of which were popularly Kikuyu musicians of the day. The person who was flogged......
THE MYSTERY OF THE MALAIKA COMPOSER AND MBOYA'S CONTRIBUTION
December 29, 2024 - 08:21 PM
BY JEROME OGOLA When Kenyan pugilist Robert Nangila was boxed to death in Las Vegas in 1994, a bizarre tussle on who his father emerged with a dozen guys coming up to claim paternity. This could definitely be attributed to his success in the ring, being the only African to win a gold medal in the Olympics and with this kind of achievement, the former star boy had definitely built an enormous financial empire. Malaika is undoubtedly the most popular Swahili song. The ballad has traversed the world, recorded hundreds of times by different musicians, and performed uncountable times. The song is the 'Guantanamera' of East Africa. It hasn't just happened. It has been there for many......

KALENJIN MUSIC HISTORY
December 23, 2024 - 05:18 AM
In a whirlwind tour across Kenya's hinterland sampling the country's music from each community, the picturesque scenery of the lush green tea plantains of Kericho prepares one psychologically, for an enchanting musical cuisine, especially factoring the reality that Chandarana, the legendary music recording company set base in the town before the country's independence, long before other towns enjoyed such privileges. Kericho is home to the Kipsigis sub-tribe of the Kalenjin community. They are the most populous of these 11 subtribes, and some quarters also consider them elitist. The sub-tribe occupying two counties has the most vibrant music industry, which can be traced to the......
WHEN TWO GIANTS LANDED IN KISUMU
December 21, 2024 - 01:00 PM
Last weekend, Kenya's lakeside town of Kisumu was to experience a rare spectacle in a music extravaganza that was to feature two of the DRC's most iconic music bands: Quartier Latin of Kofi Olomide and Zaiko Langa Langa of N'Yoka Longo. Kisumu, a town that sits on the shores of Lake Victoria, is an epicentre of the evolution of Kenya's most dominant music genre, benga. It prides itself on a thriving entertainment industry, with dozens of bands performing in numerous venues. News of such big names visiting was bound to excite fans, especially bearing in mind that few major artists have visited the town since 1986, when the concrete wall blocking Franco from his fans had to be brought......
