NAKEI NAIROBI LYRICS WITH ENGLISH TRANSLATION
INTRO
One of the most listened to Congolese songs in KenyaComposed by Tabuley and Mbilia Bell.
The Swahili version, translated by Brazos Mpanga Wa Mpanga.
Those who know what rumba is all about know too well that when the theme is to praise a specific person or place, for this case, Nairobi and its government headed by Mzee Moi, a nonrelated story must be created, to provide a narrative, which always has nothing to do with the theme.
Solo done by maestro Dino VanguBass by the late Shaba KahambaRhythm Dave MakondeleMi solo Brazos MpangaVocals by Songbird Mbilia Bell
