Just realized Hellena Anyango Otiende( Helena wang'e Dongo, sung in this song ; Sunrise 1956; Sunset 2021, May her soul rest in eternal peace) Give me likes if you are a fan of Okatch and this song too.
In as much as am too young for this song, but it is only song that lifts my soul when am down. Just nodding my head and enjoying the cool lyrics. And this is 2024 and its still a beautiful song.
Reminds me of my evenings in Homa Bay town in early 90s, the lake waters "simmered" in reflection of town light, the breeze was memorable, the song used to "float" in the wind deep into my bedroom- everything seemed to give way to it, even dogs wouldn't bark. All pubs in the small town of Homa bay played this song. Memories fade, people get old, life changes and people die but memories will linger...
I'm here 2020 and am not moving anywhere this is the song that introduced me into music and was very rich just like today, In 1994 I was barely 10yrs old living with my grandma in Asembo and i could sneak go listen to this song from a neibours's fence at night we did not have a radio or any casset But this song kept on luring me anytime it was played from a neibour. Keep resting in peace Biggy Ja Ujimbe.
Ndalogo Junction Inn Kisumu nepek. Okatch and the entire Heka Heka team was bad news then. Winjie uru gima Dick Ouma wuod gi Mbala Jasuba timo e rhythm guitar.

As a kid in the 90s this song reminds me of alot of things ; 1. Most homes had no radio 2. The best place to such songs was disco matanga 3. HIV scouge at it's peak etc Biggie may be no more but some of us have immortalized him. Keep resting
"....Sauti na to tinde Nyiri on'geyo Biggy Okatch........Awarora asega weyo chode Biggy Okatch....... Alemoooo Biggy tinde Owara.....Sianda Madongo aweyo.....Chode tinde aweyo......" This guy was just in another world. "
Adwera Okello alias Adwera wuon Okello was undoubtedly one of the best guitarists to have ever graced the benga music scene. Okatch Dolla or simply Biggy Jaujimbe Gem on the other hand, was one of the best musicians Luo land has ever produced. May their souls rest in peace. Okatch aol adok Kisumu nang'o? Nyaka Siaya kababa Ujimbe pacho!
Okatch dola my neighbour and my uncle was in another level in music ,,nene ifwayone ka raila kowuok kisumo korie gem dawala yawa,,nind gi kwe ja ojimbe gem
Okatch biggy will be a legend forever,his music will remain to be some of the best ever composed. The first thing that my mum did immediately after she got home was to play okatch biggy,I can personally sing his songs word by word coz it’s the only music that played at my home as I was growing. However we must agree that the hit of okatch Biggy came with a wave of HIV that spread like bush fire in Nyanza. 90 percent of those who were going to his live music died of AIDS including himself. Am yet to understand what was happening there.
Woow! Can't get enough of this songs! They remind me of my late mum,she use to love them so much! I was still very young by then but the way my mum used to love this songs.....ey yawa mor nega. Keep resting in Peace jangolo marahuma
Still listening in 2022...30 years since I listened to this song for the first time in the early 90s...The ink of Okatch Biggy songs is INDELIBLE! Rest well legend
while herding cows in the rocky villages of seme we would play this song whole day with a workman . my brother had his workman with a series of dry cells . i was about 7 years . And my sister Pam may her soul in peace loved Okatchs songs . she danced this songs whole night in my brothers Kawangware house aaah .....
Let's leave these memories to" and for them. it's sad but one day....only one day, Larry they will know the musical culture . Okach Ja ujimbe all the way.

My all time best song for Okatch Biggy Jaujimbe. Though i was very young in 1999 when i heard these songs for the first time.. such as Hellena wange dongo, dorina, Isaya Ogwe, Okelo Jabondo, Nyathi Nayakach, etc today 03/10/2019. These songs still rocks my mind.
Okatch Biggy himselfu...Good timeless music....Helanaaa eeeeh, bi anee yuora ka nyiri oriedo mondo oneni eeeeeehhh....okatch aol ajooooon...Corona be osebiro
Thank God I was given birth in the Era music wa music, dad used to listen to these songs,kibera back in the day its sad you left us too soon rip wuod nyakano.
Funny enough ethis song calms me from sciatica after having my total hip replacement no matter how painful it this song always calms me 15/10/2022 I'll never forget this nights ....
Doc, Okatch's songs transcend generations. I remember attending his shows live in 1998 at Jogama Inn and Sugar View hotels in Awendo. They were scenes to behold! I still remember them days like they happened yesterday.
I can remember Tuesday Resort Migori, then Wednesday Tausi rodi kopany, Thursday..sofia.... Homabay, Friday inkas sondu finally saturday social hall kisumo,,, back then in 90s,,, okimi reloaded

@@sweetmelodyintlband ehehee...Hellena was married to a man from Asembo .
@@moreenotiende8417 you are right, someone has just confirmed to me that it's Asembo
Not Asembo but Uyoma

To my kids and future grandkids. Your dad will be smoking rich. And he loves this song. Remember to gather here some day long after he is gone.

Cave in Kanyo...we used to sneak off Homabay high school to attend his shows...n I was just a mono in 1997
Sugar View and Jogama Inn Awendo were the epicentre of Okatch Biggy wuod Ujimbe
Can't help but say that your residence was near the famous cave inn?
@@phellixomondi9495 correct, but Akamba bar was also doing much of it daily.....
Listening from river Zambezi hotel, copperbelt Zambia. Biggy ja ujimbe still rocking airwaves.....
The Nilotic club in Bondo town is a place every Okatch fan should visit.Youll looove how well these kind of songs are played and danced.
Will visit this time round when am back in town ❤
Make a date

Yes my mom usually narrates how HIV was at its peak during this period, her friend died of it too and they used to listen to Okatch songs.
