Surely the music of our time was weighty smooth and entertaining.The lead guitarist had his job well cut.Zaire had the best bands which gave us the Joy we needed.Sweet music able to chain you in fantasy
Daaah jamani mimi wakati zinalekodiwa nyimbo hizi sikuwa nimezaliwa lkn kiukweli nazipenda sana natamani zigeludi hizi na hizi za matusi zipigwe malfuku kapisa
Heheheheheh! Super classic. Reminds me of my younger brother when he went to a neighbours birthparty party in 1975 and this was one of the songs played at the party. It was his first party to attend and he sang the song for days thereafter, never mind he was incoherrent with the words.
Thanks so much Darubini2 you have made me feel young again when I remember all my long time friends we schooled with some have gone early but we thank G0D for being alive.Thanks once again keep the fire going and be blessed.
Mandala reminds me of Vincent Odhiambo, Onyango Kikworo, Ombura, Alex Ogutu etc. Time has gone. During our secondary school days in Miwani. Weekend boys dressed in set-me free trauser would shake their legs in a buggy dance as we wait for a new week to begin.
I watched a terrific live performance of this song at the then Garden Square Restaurant, Nairobi in 1986.On rhythm guitar was a young late friend, John Ngeresa. Lead vocalist was Kasongo wa Kanema.
@Titus Mukiama.The song was released by Grand Pizza along with Mwana Mawa in 1976. Kasongo wa kanema was a Super mazembe band member. It was not common then for members of one band to play live songs from another band.
This song was sang well by some students in the domitories of our high school [Moroto High, Uganada]. The boys that sang this were those rascals who didn't comb their hairs and smocked cigarettes, as if they were officers. A group of bullies. Memories alive. Thank you Bwana Darubini.
Yes, Idi Amin encouraged goodlife, on condition you didn't cross him. This radio was based at (Dakabella),Soroti, It was built by Yugoslavia experts under the non aligned movement. It broadcasted East and Central Africa 24/7.
Yeah, it was called radio Masaka from Mbalala if I wan not mistaken. That is where Orchestre Bella bella and Fuka Fuka made their debut into EA music audiences on radio.
Wangira, Wangira , Wangirs of Homa Bay High. Where did they go? Where all bands go my brother? I remember we used to dance to Temptations' papa was a rolling stone. I recently watched a documentary and felt very foolish when I realised the band split long before the music reached Africa
@7116219 I am surprised that Idi Amin let you guys have 24/7 radio. In Kenya , radio was off by midnight until 6 am the next day. About Mandalala, I was told they were singing about the Palm tree! I thought it was a cute lady until ..
Idi Amin's Radio Uganda was very powerful and clear. It broadcast widely and was even received in Europe on Short Wave. But as usual, it may have been foolishly destroyed in vengeance and/or looting. And we can't build another one like it. It also entertained us with such great songs even as the mass murders went on.
I used to listen to Congo Radio (I do not know which station it was) on my Uncle's one Band National Radio. There was non stop music around mid night EA Time. No interruptions by the Radio DJ
@@musa2843 I remember listening to some radio stations from Zaire (I think one was Radio Bukavu} and they too played music non-stop all night long without commercial interruptions.
Darubini thanks for the post,been looking for this song for a while.Now what about the composition by Grand pisa titled Muana mawa,am sure you have it somewhere in your archives.Have enjoyed listening to the song,though i wish somebody could fill me in on the guys behind Grand pisa,where did they lost to?
@Josiah Muthemba.The song was released way back in 1976 while I was still in primary school in Nairobi's Eastlands, Makadara to be exact.I am also not aware of Grand Piza ever visiting Kenya.
It was such a wonderful song. I enjoy it all the time
1976. Was in form 3. Wonderful memories.
Voilà une chanson que l'on ne devrait pas retirer dans notre discotheque.Riche¡!!

Mandalala was the song of the people at all gathering in Mwanza TZ.
The younger brothers of johnny bokero,boke infact composed most of their songs R.I.P issenge
Bringing back memories of great times of the 80s.
Iam Hanningtone I used to hear these songs between 1975 to 78
Mbila is palm wine in kenya likened to Mnazi!!
It reminds me of my colleagues when in school back in 1976 Lake Nakuru High school l know most of them passed on but for just by the grace of God
Something which will neither expire nor forgotten
and just to think they were singing about the benefits of the palm tree.. this was a great composition
Out of mandalala there many products, eg soap, thatching materials, cooking fat, brooms etc
Heheheheheh! Super classic. Reminds me of my younger brother when he went to a neighbours birthparty party in 1975 and this was one of the songs played at the party. It was his first party to attend and he sang the song for days thereafter, never mind he was incoherrent with the words.
YES YES YES, THOSE WERE THE OLD GOOD TIMES!!!
PARTURS, PARTIES AND PARTIES!!!
Mpwapwa sec enzi hizo, 1982 welcome form one

Sauti ya chiriku kamue haitasahaulika

Mandalala inanikumbusha 1976 idhaa ya biashara ya radio Tanzania ,muziki wa zamani kweli ulikuwa mzuri

Pascal Foster Great music great time full energy was there we had a great time std 7 finishing primary level graduation was historical
Ok ! Maybe they played this hit song of Grand Piza Orchestra, but I doubt or I don't think if thid band came in Kenya :
You right big tym this band never visited Kenya.but was definitely one of the biggest things one of the best RDC bands
In the song linked below they claim to be in Kenya. ua-cam.com/video/5h-GuB4EaoI/v-deo.html
