Vijana Jazz "Stellah"

According to the label orchestra Vijana Jazz perform their 1981 hit "Stellah" written by Chiriku Manet. However, I am reliably informed by guitarist Abbu Omar that this is not a Vijana Jazz recording but a jam session between singer Hemed Maneti and friends from Dar International with Charles Ray Kasembe, of Les Volcanos, on guitar

[@samuelmliwa9224]

True this is Charles Ray Kasembe and Hemedi maneti with super Volcano. I remember them being a resident band at Ngangu Bar in Mwatate Town - Taita Taveta when I was a student Kenyatta High School Mwatate way back in 1981. Waaah, what a nice way to remind me of my old school days! Indeed this was the band of the season then. This town - Mwatate was awash with cash (millions) from mining activities of precious stones (Ruby, green garnet, tsavorite, tanzanite) in Mkuki area and of course plantation workers from Teita Sisal Estate. This band used to entertain and keep the night spots like Ngangu bar, Baisanda bar, Killeta bar popular.
Mining cash rewards were so much such that a man will hire a flat bed truck, place a table and a seat on top of the flat bed truck and be driven around while enjoying his beer relaxing at the back of the flat bed. Money makes man mad!
Even today, the town is the hub of mining activities (planning) in Taita Taveta even as much as Voi has overtaken it but, it has its share of mining cash. pls post more of his hits like kukataliwa ni kubaya, dawa ya mapenzi, kumuonya mwana, sirikutu etc RIP Charles Ray Kasembe.

[@faithalice1540]

Charles ley kazembe never played with vijana jazz,sema chiriku manet

[@princelarry8068]

True but that voice is not chiriku. Sometimes we are confused. This is not chiriku na sio kalala but very close to kasembe hapo ndo kuna confusion

[@bingwason]

I doubt if this is Vijana Jazz. Hemed Maneti recorded this song in Kenya back in 1981 with members of Les Volcano. Charles Ray Kasembe, a Tanzanian musician who was then based in Kenya, played is on lead guitar. Kasembe, a former rhythm guitar player with Mbaraka Mwinshehe's Super Volcano, formed Les Volcano after Mbaraka's death in Mombasa in 1979.

[@githinjijimmy]

bingwason: you could be very right

[@jeremiahmbanga3094]

I agree. Can tell from the instrumentation

[@princelarry8068]

This is the comment I was looking for and others. Coz that's kasembe and kasembe never played in vijana jazz.

[@joelkosgei4146]

[@MN-ji8nx]

In a popular Tz program called 'Kijaluba', this song was done by Vijana Jazz with Maneti doing the lead vocals. Charles Roy Kazembe was in the back vocals. This was back in 1981...

[@rogersakhwale]

"Kukataliwa ni kubaya" ni wimbo uliotungwa na kuimbwa na marehemu Charles Ray Kazembe akiwa na bendi ya Les Volcano wala si wimbo wa Vijana Jazz.
Ama kwa kweli wimbo huu wa Stella mwenye fikara nzuri ulitia fora na bado waendelea kuzuzua wapenzi wa Vijana Jazz.

[@twalalilian7813]
