Fanuel Amimo - 'Safari ya Magadi'

Born in 1947, this elderly man hails from Shianda location of Butere sub-county (Kakamega County). With age, he unfortunately lost his sight but still as ever before continues to play omutibo. Raised in a family of musicians, Amimo started playing in early childhood. H recorded his first single in 1964 with David Amunga as producer, in a studio owned by Andre Crawford and Betty Tete. His second record was produced by Sammy Osere for Lamore record label, while his third song led to his fall out with Polygram records in 1974. After that, he started producing himself and established his own label entitled African Beat.

Simple musical instruments were used to produce enjoyable music by our fathers. They were very creative. Thumbs up Amimo.
