Some tracks that I have been listening to over the last couple of days ..
From Africa Serenades 29 ( thanks again Cheeku! ), here is Orchestra Elegance Jazz with Ngalula Marthe. This has appeared in another couple of interesting places including mix #6 in the Kinshasa-Nairobi Express series at World Passport.
Some luck soul recently picked up this single on eBay for a mere $8 …
Kelenkye Band in Jungle Music pulled off African Serenades 28 ( thank you Cheeku and Matt!) . While there are lots of comments about them on the internets, there is no real content. Can anyone help?
I wish that this had managed to be preserved at a better bit rate in stereo so that all the high hats and suchlike like were not lost.
That is one catchy chorus line.

“I am looking for any one who can upload Ogolla kadir by Tony Omondi/Musa Juma.”
I do not have this, can anyone help? I do have Bebina Siaya Kababa that I posted back in July of 2007 that has Musa Juma and Tony Omondi. Hope it helps.
Musa Juma & Orchestra Limpopo International feat. Tony Omondi – Bebina Siaya Kababa
I am sorry but some of these tracks are in mp4 format. I come from the “if life gives you lemons, make lemonade” school of thought.
If you have trouble with your player of choice, try VLC or WinAmp.
Mutunga,
Sorry to hear about the restrictions in Italy. How about sendspace? That seems to be working the best of all the file sharing programs.
@Daniel:
Sendspace is fine. Long live the music-loving family!
Happy new year all Ntwiga blog family members.
A new year present in form of oh “miguel” by OK jazz will be much appreciated.
Fellow African music fans, all the best to you for 2009!
@kabuga,
Oh Miguel; With a lot of patience try it here:

Good luck
Thanks gilly, though i could only download the other 3 songs except oh miguel. Kindly help by posting it alone.
Also, any member with the original tpok jazz production??
@kabuga
Sorry to say that I am a bit tied up at the moment. I could nt even download the content of the link myself. Below is the page i dug out the link for unlimited riches:

Kabuga:
See whether this is the version of “Oh Miguel” you are looking for. Rather than an original, it sounds like a simulated live performance with canned applause. I also seem to remember that there is different version of “Oh Miguel” featuring Vicky Longomba but I might be wrong. Let me know if it is what you’re hunting for.
Mutunga,
Asante sana muthoniwa.
It is a while since i listened to this Luambo oldie. The style employed is similar to kimpa kisangameni; is this kikongo or lingala?
kabuga:
You’re welcome. It’s actually a mixture of Lingala and Kikongo. At first the lyrics are in Lingala, but when the traditional beat starts, Kikongo comes in. OK Jazz performed quite a number of folk songs in Kikongo.
@gilly
This taringa site is so rich. Asante sana.
Fred Okello:
Try this link for Ogolla Kadir
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORTgNotcego&feature=channel
It is classic Omondi Tony / Musa Juma
Gilly,
The Tariga.net site is another treasure trove of oldies. Thanks! However their rapidshare file sharing service uses a format that we don’t have here in the US (to the best of my knowledge), .rar. Any idea how to convert that to mp3? I’m downloading an old favorite by Kassav (“All you need is Zouk”) in that .rar format to see if any of my music juke-boxes will recognize it.
Daniel
If you havent found a way to get the music files working,
You should be able to download this WinRAR for free . Here is the link
http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Download the first on – WinRAR 3.80
It should be able to work for.I have had it as long as i can remember.
I am a newbie.
You guys and gals sound like people I would love to hug and kiss!
This is my thing!! Kitale— KUDU/ Mbolea 1980s, Nakuru— Pivot/Manyatta
anyone?
Kingsam,
Thanks for the tip. I’ll give it a shot!
Kingsam. That download worked great. It extracted 12 mp3 files from a 100 MB .rar file within seconds. I still don’t know what a .rar file is but it looks like a zip file for mp3′s and WinAmp allows you to extract them. Asante sana, my man!
Hi everybody.
The page is becoming dormant, what’s happening?
And for those from Kenya let’s have it in mind this time. This isn’t a page for politics (and religion?) but we can’t ignore the situation in this poor eastafrican country. We may repeat the first words on our national anthem.
All the best
Samwiri, I think everybody has moved to more recent blog pages. Try February, the discussions and postings continue there.
Ramasha: I attended Greenfields College in Kitale for my A-levels in 1983 to 1984. Since we used to take the Akamba bus back and forth from Nairobi to Kitale, I’m quite familiar with the Pivot in Nakuru. Wow! That brings back some memories I would never have remembered otherwise.
