Great reminder of the days we were playing football in Nakivubo stadium in 1977 by schools representing the 5 regions of Uganda.I was in the Bishop Willis team from the East coached by Maj. Orombi. Those songs would be played in the stadium microphones throughout the duration of the matches much to the delight of the players and the spectators. You remember Ngali, Ayi djo, Manguta etc.
Is there any one here who remembers these songs in Kivulu Makerere on Jukebox as we sipped Kwete😂😂😂 When I want to live the past, I play these songs Bwana
I was just 3, but saw how my dad, his best friend and colleagues could dance paka chini every evening playing this song. And the engunduka became their social name. I had to look for this song two years ago, when both dad and his best friend where in the hospital on their dying bed, played for them the song, and believe me, they confessed have prolonged their stay in earth by reminding them of their youthful days. They had to go another one year living before saying goodbye to us. I will always play this song in remembrance of their great friendship.
Back then two radios will broadcast this song every evening, that was Radio Uganda and Radio Burundi from Bujumbura - broadcasting and every bit of this song will be heard all over eastern Africa! What went wrong with our people? I was young and the next thing I hear was massacre in Rwanda followed by a tuburance time in Burundi! Do we have to go through this again? Let us keep the French out of Rwanda and Burundi and play Engunduka for the future of our African kids.
I play this song always starting from Friday through to Sunday. It makes my wkd. I have no clue what the words mean but sounds so familiar and some mean something else in my language. I think its a Bantu song - yes Lingala
My word, what a hit! Brings back memories of the 70's, in Amin's Uganda. Wonderful orchestration, and the blend of the vocal ranges. Engunduka is clearly one of the best Lingala tunes ever composed by Orchestre Veve.
Very classic music to remember . I was in primary 7 during the good Idi Amin's time of every thing free at school in Uganda. Late Abu mayanja was the then minister of Education
"Alo, alo qui stop..." The beat so easy going but firing you up at the same time. The cebene is one of classics: the guitars take it up and Verckys sprinkles the sax magic, ahhh. I'm back in 70s Nairobi, bell bottoms flapping, my Goodyear-tyre platform shoes making me the very heigth of fashion!
Owakabi Music is a universal language that defies substance. Mobutu may have had his failings but there is no denying that Congolese music was at its best during his reign. Even Makiadi's campaign ballad Mobutu is a beautiful tune that still beats todays compositions
Wimbo wanikumbusha mwaka 1976 nikiwa nafundisha Itete primary Kirando nikiwa na rafiki yangu Mganga na marehem Kaishozi Tuliupenda na kuucheza kwenye automatic recording player Maisha yalikuwa mazuri mno Winfrida Mshama upo wapi Mimi Mbogora
Namkumbuka mwalimu wangu mkuu Shileki s/msingi Tenende Kyela alikuwa na hii santuri ikifika Exmass tulikwa tunaenda kuazima kwake na ikipigwa ukumbini kwenye godauni za kijiji ikiisha tu utasikia 'oncesmall' DJ.
You could be absolutely right. As someone has indicated in an earlier post, it was a collaboration of Veve and Johnny Bokelo. As with many other records, it could also have been released later under a session group calling itself Orchestra Engunduka. That group has at least three other songs.
Engunduka was a session group that consisted of Veve members (Sax Matalanza, Djo Roy Matudi, and Tino Muinkwa); Just listen to Veve saxophone in Baluti at 4.49 to realise it was the same band. See them live in Kampala : ua-cam.com/video/hSbCtmsEmCA/v-deo.html
@@philipmulindwa9722 There is little information on this group. What I know is that Engunduka was an offshoot of Veve, the group responsible for Baluti.
Aikambe, Olinga Olingate was re-named 'Polygame En Danger'. I didn't know anybody else remembere this great song by Bokelo Isenge. I have the song . I may upload it or e-mail me and I can send it to you.
Kiamwangana alikuwa Hodari aliunda Bandi nyingi hi ikiwa mojawapp

Wonderful ❤ Instruments talking to each other with the rhythm and unmistakable bass guitar in the background.

I remember those days as if they were yesterday. Joyfully days no Aids ,no corruption, no killings all people lived in peace ✌️✌️✌️

The bass guitar and saxophones well balanced as if talking to each other. Thank you Mr. Darubini.

Great music .I will enjoy this music all my life. You were great men men with enjoyable music.God bless you.
The song reminds me teaccing at Itete primary school in 1976 with my fellows Mr Mganga Mr Nkwabi and Mr ... Ramadhan .Where are you comrades?
The greatest producer to come out of Congo / Zaire Kiamangwana wa Mateta aka Verckys
Woow used to c my brothers n sisters dance the tune dont remember the year thanks whoever's sung it🙏🙏🙏
I remember this song when I was in S.3 man! i knew all the words. These were the good old days without any worries
I was 16 at that time. Idi Amin in power. Nostalgic song
Me too.
My word, what a hit! Brings back memories of the 70's, in Amin's Uganda. Wonderful orchestration, and the blend of the vocal ranges. Engunduka is clearly one of the best Lingala tunes ever composed by Orchestre Veve.
Why Amini's days for a song that does not remind us the sad days and killings of a monster!
Yea it was amins regime
Vercys played saxophone. He was helped by Matalanza of OK Jazz. The great Johny Bokello Isenge assisted with vocals.
Indeed a beautiful number.... encapsulates an interesting epoch in popular Congolese dance music!!!
This was the mother of all music by then. I remember we could surround our social hall throughout the night.!
Reminds me of bull dances at North Cote Hall (MUK) 1976/77 77/78
Very classic music to remember . I was in primary 7 during the good Idi Amin's time of every thing free at school in Uganda. Late Abu mayanja was the then minister of Education
Walahi kituffu every thing in school was for free
This song was collaboration between Orchestre Veve and Conga National of Johnny Bokelo and with a little help from Matalanza on Sax
"Alo, alo qui stop..." The beat so easy going but firing you up at the same time. The cebene is one of classics: the guitars take it up and Verckys sprinkles the sax magic, ahhh. I'm back in 70s Nairobi, bell bottoms flapping, my Goodyear-tyre platform shoes making me the very heigth of fashion!
Ha ha ha those days ahhh it was mwaahh
Good music very touching
Wimbo unanikumbusha nikiwa Kirando ambapo tulikuwa tunaicheza kila baada ya kazi.Winny Mshama aiupenda sana
THIS WAS 1970S UGANDA .VERCKYS WAS A FAVOURITE AT THE TIME
Reminds me of my O level time at Kako SSS Masaka City Uganda 1975-1978
Lasting memories,great song with great times, God bless the great band.
One amoung the best song by orchestra Veve
By then at Itete primary school at Kirando with my my work mate Mganga Late Kaishozi And Mr Yangayanga our boss
My older brother James Turyagyenda used to sing this song Engunduka by veve.
Don't mind the words if you are African u will understand the rhythm 👌👌
I was too young but my late brother used to enjoy this tune he was a kololo secondary school student in Uganda
Asante Loko Masengo na Matadidi Bwana Kitoko!

Pole Pole Ni Nmweeemdo
great sounds of 70s in uganda
Where you there when this song rocked the bars of Kampala in the seventies?
Some of us were lucky my brother George, when this song rocked all bars and dancing halls in Uganda in the Seventies.
Despite all said about Amin period in Kampala...it was a very pleasant city and the bars would fill dancing to Congolese music.
Life was tough then songs like this made it bearable. This played in the Kyaluwajala and kireka bars. Thanks for uploading
Jessica, don't mention them all my sister because hearing of those places just makes tear rolls non stop.
huyu jamaa alitutesa sana enzi hizo mambo ya play santuri
I was in p.5 1979 initiated into urban life uphill now
I was in Bishop Willis demonstration school as a pupil back then 1978

I do not understand why it's presented here as orch. Egunduka. The title on the vinyl ad I remember was Egunduka by Bokelo International.
You could be absolutely right. As someone has indicated in an earlier post, it was a collaboration of Veve and Johnny Bokelo. As with many other records, it could also have been released later under a session group calling itself Orchestra Engunduka. That group has at least three other songs.
those were good music
the imposing vocals weigh heavily on the heart .
Good song
Sounds every bit like Veve + Sosoliso of Trio Madjesi fame!
Engunduka was a session group that consisted of Veve members (Sax Matalanza, Djo Roy Matudi, and Tino Muinkwa); Just listen to Veve saxophone in Baluti at 4.49 to realise it was the same band. See them live in Kampala : ua-cam.com/video/hSbCtmsEmCA/v-deo.html
The sweat song heat well to date

Cut the fellow some slack, during Mobutus time the sounds which came from Zaire where out of this world surly it is no coincidence but …….
I was in secondary school (form) 1977
Or even mr Kiangwana can tell us about Enganduka song
Very s 3 memory at Bishop's
