    Hi Steve,

    Another great post. Do you have any more info on the tracks Maisha ya sasa ni magumu and Mimi mwenda pole? They are attributed on the download as being by Safari Sound and Maquis, who I thought were rival Tanzanian bands, and I can’t find any reference to either tune in any of the online discographies. Any further enlightenment you can offer would be much appreciated.

  2. Hi Steve,

    Been a while since I was in the neighborhood. Stopped by for a little music shopping and I absolutely loved what I got. Excellent classics.

    As always, muchas gracias for the music mi amigo!
