6 tracks today since I once again find myself unable to make conversation: It is Thanksgiving weekend after all here in the Great White North and family always always comes first.
Hopefully, using music as a means of persuasion is an approach that might allow you all to forgive me for being late in getting this week’s tracks posted on time.

No track of the week for today but it should be back next week. I also have a ton of requests in the queue so next week will be a an request post meaning that if you asked for something a while back, you will finally be able to get it if I do have it.
That is it people. I am done.
See you all very soon.
Hi Steve,
Would you (or anyone else) know when Mwinshehe’s ‘Jogoo La Shamba’ was released?
M’Ntwiga, I would like to request GEMA songs. Something tells me you have a few kinandas up your sleeve. Are you saving the best for last. Throw in at least one wandidi per post if you know what I mean. The western Kenya songs are okay.
Thanks.
Hi Steve,
I’ve been lookin for Mwinshehe’s “Ujamaa na kujitegemea”. Any chance you can post it? I stumbled onto your site in my search and the music you have been putting up is great.
Thanks
Hi Steve. Thanks for a great post……..Pitie!. I also enjoyed ‘Lift kwa Jirani’ by Les Wanyika. I believe the group was East Africa’s top band ever!
Nobrun’s request … ‘Jogoo la Shamba’ was released in 1972.

In the last post the tune 12 Mbaraka Mwishehe & Moro Jazz Band – Sururu Oyee.mp3

Steve this coming week Id like to request for a brilliant track by John Ngereza’s Les Wanyika ‘ Safari ya Samburu’.
I remember the lyrics!
Rafiki yoyoyo,
Kwaheri wende ufike salama,
Safari yako kwenda Samburu, Kuona ndugu, jamaa, marafiki.
Utapofika Maralal, nisalimie Dr Maina, Mwezi December nataraji,
Niombe livu nifike niwaone.
Safari yetu Les Wanyika, tulipofika Maralal,
Tulifurahi kuwapata, rafiki wema na wenye nia njema.
Chrs
Kwanza asante Dr Maina, tena asante ndugu Omollo, wenyeji wote maralal, Les Wanyika twatoa shukurani kwenu,
kuonyesha imani na mapenzi. Itakuwa furaha kuonana tena, hata kama kwa mwaka mara moja.
Asante sana bi Josephina, wenyeji wote Maralal, ilikuwa ni mwanzo wala sio mwisho,kwaherini mbaki salama. itakuwa furaha kuonana tena……..
Maralal Samburu tutarudi tena, tufurahi na wewe kama vile mwanzo. (This chorus goes with names of Dr Maina, Omolo, Josephine Shoto, and Rama bin Rama Lizee la salaam).
Mbaraka Mwinshehe will always bring back fond memories of those good old days.
Wow, what is the story behind Abana Ba Nasery? They have an intriguing sound – almost cajun almost celtic. Great post! Thanks.

Dear Steve,
Thanks thousands of times for posting this selection, I have been loking for pitie and finally I got it here. When I first heard it I was only 12. The last juke boxes were still there in Nakuru and from outside I could see people dancing it in bars.
Hey Steve,
Thanks for the lovely music,do you have Oyoo daktari by Musa juma?thanks
Steve,
This is a fantastic job. The records you spin have the original beats. No dilution. Keep it up. Make more selections. May God bless you.
Please Please could someone find me Kiam’s “Mbale” and Veve’s “Mwana Mburu”. My life literally depends on these two great songs from the seventies.
A little late for Christmas , but right on time for new year
Happy Christmas – Mbaraka Mwinshehe
