Masambu - Kayamba Africa Video

video

A Luhya folk song that is performed during happy occasions whereby the guests are treated to a story of one's tribulations and then asked to enjoy them.

I don't know of any other music group that captures the rich Kenyan heritage like Kayamba Africa. Several months later and I'm still enjoying their music. Funny thing is that my favorite songs keeps changing. Every time I listen to their music is like the first time I'm hearing them.

Kudo's to Juma Odemba, Moses Ekirapa and the rest of the Kayamba Africa crew. You guys are the pride of Kenya. Big-up to Suzanne and Gido Kibukosya for putting their songs together.

Rudieko kutoka juu. Ji-enjoy.

I also enjoy their music, even after hearing the same songs 10 times, it never boring.

I read in the papers Suzanne and Kibuksya are no long together. I wonder why marriages break up after many years, whey start them in the first place.

I loved their "Ngukinyukia O kahora" carton rendition. Thanks for posting it on youtube Ssem.

Another group that does our Country and heritage proud is Jabali Afrika- I love their older music...akina "Gikomba" and "Achoke"

great stuff...I don't understand what they are singing about but makes me appreciate their originality unlike lots of new musicians in Kenya trying so hard to be 'American'.

Jabi,
