Hadjoullas Nyapanji Ochieng Ogolla , known to most as Ochieng kabaselleh or Kalle wuod Ogola, was for at least two decades, one of Kenya’s most reknown and succesful musicians. For two decades He thrilled music fans from all over the country with excellent compostions and superb arrangements mirroring those of the Late Franco Luambo Makiadi. In fact His arrangements were so excellent that one would argue that If He were a Zairean , he would have ranked among the best on the continent. . His songs are a unique version of benga with smooth guitars, ringing horns and swingining percussion, augmented by Kabaselleh’s voice which varies between baritone and bass. He recorded his first hit at age fifteen while a secondary school student at Pumwani secondary. It was one of the pioneers of Kenyan music, Daudi kabaka, who gave Kabasselleh his first chance. Kabaka was at one time Kabaselleh’s neighbour and was intrigued by his musical ability. he arranged for kabaselleh to record with the Equator sound band. He later founded his own band which he named Lunna Kidi. It was then that his popularity skyrocketed as He released hit after hit , among them Zainabu, Achi Maria, Sije, Millicento, Sikul agulu and Piny Dunia Mokili, among others. Most of his songs were in dholuo. Although most of them were love songs , He songs touched on a myriad of other topics. In Sije he talks about descent Human relations that transcend hard times, In Hommage A Owino ger , he Eulogises a lawyer friend of his. Some of his songs covered politics. His brief stint in prison was as a result of the lyrics in one of his songs which did not please the powers that be. Besides his excellent command of dholuo, Kabaselleh has also sang in Kiswahili and Lingala. Sadly , He passed away in December of 1998 due to complications resulting from diabetes Back to Africa Music Centre
I dedicate this lovely song of high touch to my jailed cousin Peter Ondijo the son of my late uncle John Ondijo. No condition is permanent bro so kindly just persevere wherever u r jailed there in Oyugis for I know that jail is not as of high loss as death, u shall still find ur way back to Seme Migori. Yue kono kod kue total orphan for God is there with u.

Today 14/02/2020 after the death & burial of Moi, is the day I learned on reading on the nation news that he was once a KDF soldier & was arrested during the mwakenya movement so most of this songs are just his experiences.R.I.P the legend
Yes infact when he came back he found that his father passed away hence(Wuora Ogolla Adoyo), & when youare keen in jela you'll hear him name the likes of Wahome Mtahi,Gitobu Imanyara & even Ngugi Wathiong'o & the jela was King'ong'o.Listen to Pinyni dunia mokil & you'll here how his friend took away his instruments after he heard that Ochieng was arrested.
I still love this song especially the many lessons it serves on how people relate to one another and what real malice by those assumed to be close friends/relatives can drive one to. ultimate advice, don't give up but have nerves of steel to cope in extreme situations!!! RIP Legend Kabaselleh Ochieng wuod Ogola
The first lines are artistically deceptive in their meaning and insinuation of love,the allegory here is deep,then he hits you with the realism of the song title...this man was in in another level. Sani wamielo peke....awuoro.

Ochieng Kabesellah builds on Luo cultural belief arising from colonial period that gives immense respect to those who ever visited prison as heroes, analogizing prison to the hut (1st house built by all young duo men) to prove that its is cultural initiation considering their political idol Jaramogi was a always a prisoner
I think it is more of people wrongly incarcerated. Remember he released after spending two years in prison for alleged involvement in 1982 attempted coup.
@@alfodnews2308 very true. But again until recently Jela was thought of in high regards probably beacuse liberators went there and it was referred in Luo as "simba chuo"
Someone kindly give us brief if not long biography of the late Ochieng kabaselle, his parents, schooling, occupation, wives, children, death, place of burial, original homeland....waiting... 7/03/2020
There are these song by Aluna Kidi 1."Ocho sama koro wiya bara motamo wanga kaparo Maggy..." and "Thum Obagi od gi Ogilla.." Please if you can help me to get them, I will be greatefull"

Some nice info, I have searching for answers
Chieng moro nwarom gomoro
I have been wondering why he was arrested, thank you for the info
The style at which Mr. Kabasela arrange his music is unemagineble ; you might think that the composer is from Congo Brazavil.
He'was the most attractive and undisputed in African Rhumba musical history.May you rest in power under our maker's feet.
i like this part, Mbuta ling alinga Nyasaye nitie, Mbuta chieng moro no konywa,Mbuta chieng' moro nwachiew gi hawi....
