11 YEARS, AGO TABULEY RESTED
November 30, 2024 - 01:41 AM
"In my entire career, I've done more than 2,000 songs" Tabuley told Obachi Machoka of Roga Roga, a rumba radio show by Citizen Radio of Nairobi. "Do you know all the songs?" The veteran radio presenter asked shockingly, in response. "I can't mention them all, off head, but if you play any of my songs, I will tell you that's my song He responded. From reputable sources, corroborated by enumerating by Jabulani radio on what's available of his discography, the number seems an outright exaggeration, but that doesn't in any way erode the near god-ship status that Tabuley holds in the heart of music lovers. Born Pascal Emmanuel Simamoyi Tabou, in Bagata, Kwilu Province in Congo,......

'Eza bolingo, eloko mosusu te', Mfumu Kimbangu, a rumba music aficionado and a radio presenter with Kenya's state broadcaster sang this line to this writer with a heavy baritone, mimicking the voice of Djouna Mumbafu of Empire Bakuba, in response to the question on the position of the band, in Congolese music. Mfumu went ahead and explained how Pepe Kalle who died on November 29th, 1998, revolutionized Congolese rumba, and gave it a whole new direction, resulting in a high-tempo soukous sub-genre, that came to define the fifth generation of Congolese music. In fact, according to him, this was the very first deployment of an atalaku in Congolese music, an aspect that came to define......

THE BAOBAB OF BANGO
November 23, 2024 - 07:19 AM
With 70 years on stage, blowing the saxophone and singing to entertain revelers, Mzee Ngala is undoubtedly a musical baobab in the country. The huge fig has survived turbulent winds that brought others down. He has been there and seen it all. He could be the oldest performing musician in the country. That's not all he pioneered a genre, made it popular, and even got it ingrained in the coastal cultures to become an integral part of their social-cultural heritage. It isn't strange to hear a local say 'Harusi si harusi bila Bango', (a wedding is incomplete without bango). We trace the genesis of the musical journey of Mzee Ngala to 1955, when he dropped out of Shimo La Tewa Secondary......
