It's was in 1979 when heard of this song, infact i was in class six. When everything was good, now am 58yrs old but the song is still on top ❤😂🎉🙏👍👏🔥💯I love it Papi Tom
It is a great song. I was in P7 in Uganda. It brings back good memories. I am 57 yrs old now. I now follow the lyrics and understand the whole song because I have over the years learnt some basic lingala. I like the trumpet at the climax. It is great! Then the guitar work which follows before the Nakosasala sala te..... It is a great song indeed!!!!
Don't worry my peers I was there by then, rather in P7 1979 Uganda. It was really enjoyable I wonder whether the same p'ple sang "Mama Mwajuma" the songs which still melodies in my ears! I love u very much my p'ple ❤❤🥰🌺🌹

Reminds me of my days at Alliance High School when my nephew Adriano Situma was at Kenyatta High School-Mwatate and our days were full of bliss. Old Is Indeed Gold!
I bought the record in 1978 while in form 1 and was one of electrifying music then.Every piece of music had a climax at the tail end which allowed the dance to vigorously and activate every body part.This was a coastal based band.They silenced many big guns in music industry
Interesting. Kenya may have had a program that invited people from your country to study or intern in Kenya. I once bumped into one such person in Kisumu at the Octopus club in the late 70's or early 80's.
This song was composed in 1976 in Mombasa after which Moreno headed to Tanzania b4 resurfacing in Kenya in 1981 with his hit song " Dunia Ni Duara" followed by the his best hit" Pili Mswahili".Indeed memories are made of these!
Still great music which I first engaged with in 1979 at Ongata Country Club's weekend Disco run by a Ugandan manager Mr B Kasonzo. I was in my teens then and now listening from the UK. The club hosted these and others from Mangelepa during weekends alongside boxing tournaments
Thanks, Darubini! This takes me back to my high school days at H H Aga Khan High School, Waiyaki way. I used to get late whenever these hits and others were played in the radio in the morning.
Tchiku mwana mamaa.×2 nabisa bolingo. Tchiku mama.....abaaba abaaba... soni ningio. We danced this music in funerals. We could take walk for several kolometres looking for this sound especially in funrrals. We danced ourselves lame.
This is one song that would be played on radio frequently and was very famous those years when I was still in primary school and early high school years. Listening to it now is ...words can't describe
Masterful piece. Moreno Batamba having a very strong base vocals in the background. Absolute African Classical Record. The drums,guitars and saxophone depicting an absolute African Composition.
Thank you very much Darubini2 for this song...a classic...composed by Mukaputu Kalembi Kadjos...with others like Chuza Kabasselleh, Monimambo Jimmy, Lava Machine and Moreno Batamba...Please look for a song by Shika Shika called 'Nyako Ber" and any song by Orchestre Boma Liwanza or Special Liwanza both led by Monimambo...Kudos!
Muziki uliokaa ukakalika kisawa sawa! Umepangwa ukapangika kikweli kweli! hawa vijana walikuwa juu...kama umeimbwa jana, Old is GOLD hizi hazichuji hata wa kizazi kipya wakizichuja hazichuziki!
Cool moods hizi nyimbo hazitaweza kuchuja daima,Nakumbuka enzi zetu tulikuwa tunazicheza kwenye Player na santuri kabla hata radio cassette hazijaingia, Ili kupata mdundo mzuri spika inawekwa juu ya Mtungi.
Kasongo of the super mazembe fame passed on yesterday 15th April. RIP. I can't stop playing this music composed and played manually in organised display of talent and ingenuity
Music lasts forever. Tchiku my all time favorite. I also listen to Handel and Mozart and Tchaikovsky more than 300 years. Music alone shall live never shall die.
Moreno Batamba in the late 70s with the booming voice. The late Sammy Kasule in the chorus.The song was played widely in discotheques. It brought joy to music lovers. It made my youthful years in Nakuru worth remembering.
reminds me of my late bro Wilton who had a record player but was working in Nairobi in early 1980s. I was left to operate this vinyl player. I really liked this song.
Darubini, in swahili i could tell you "kum**aye in positive way. You've done one of the best job. Long live youtube and long live Darubini. Thanks a lot - Asante sana kokote ulipo.....Remind the best girl in school and at the same time Maneti of Vijana Jazz who had the same time big hits also CHIKU.
Then I used to pass by your neighborhood everyday. Was in Ofafa Jericho primary from 1980 to 1983 when I was transferred. My classmate, the late Oriem used to sing this song again and again and again. Nostalgic 👌
Most people fail to distinguish between the voice of Moreno and that of Ingange Djo Djo Ikomo who is also on this piece. And Djo Djo is an outstanding vocalist and composer, just like Batamba.
Is this not the same Jojo Ikomo who joined TP OK Jazz later? At OK Jazz, his voice does not come out as being very deep as Moreno's voice. Or were there 2 Jojo Ikomo's?
Reminds of Moreno Batamba with that deep sweet voice who unfortunately left us when he was just 38 years of age. We the East Africans shall never forget you, especially all who enjoyed music in the 80s when you sang with Coco-zigo Mike.
Take it easy. Listen to lyrics. Though I don't understand Lingala I can just imagine how it feels to get the message. Now turn to instruments. You can't compare the mixing with confused keyboard players. Let me dance and remember my high school days in Kakamega
There shall never been the best of times in the music world as was in the 1970s up to mid 1990s! How I wish we use the term 'zilizovuma' and not 'zilizopendwa'! Are we all dead? Iam in my forties,guys!
Clearly I remember some pub at the end of Waiyaki in Mombasa...in 80's you couldn't beat those musicians let alone dare to challenge them..God bless all those who were entertained by those teams.,WEWE!!!!!!
Moreno Batamba! I remember in 1983 when I was growing up at rounder (off juja road and outer ring road) Moreno was our neighbor. He used to buy kids mandarin..very cool guy.
This reminds how we used to enjoy ma sis wanjiku (ciku), ati wanajuana na watu wa les noirs. Men,those were the days. Golden era of lingala music of 70s and 80s. We sure have grown old..
Nowhere else was this song more enjoyable than at Ambish Free state. Ahende "Mwasi" could dance the heck out of this song during innings when we had girl schools such as Lwak girls come over..

Those were the Gud old days
The band eventually relocated back to Zaire, didn't it?
when dad went to kenya in the 70s he bought this cassette and brought it all the way to Papua New Guinea I still remember this song

Well those years were just great,who's with me n 2019
This generation had RHYTHM, real and played by physical instruments,..... wacha hizi fake za siku hizi computer synthezisers.......
Opiyo
True. And we should emulate Zimbabwe where rhythm is lead guitar as it should be
The irony is that even at low throttle' Moreno's voice towered above the rest.Those were the days & that was raw talent.
Less volcano

probably the most underrated tune i grew up knowing, at 50 years, it still lingers in my mind when iam at my past
@TheMuvua07....was it really underrated? It was a hit my friend...

I can't stop playing this music composed and played manually in organised display of talent and ingenuity
I can't forget this Song, my dad 's favorite
This was in early eighties, the radio cassette days
Real talent at its best!
Wapi Johnstone Tonui, and Samson of Kap Musa, our village music maestros, had an
ear to this melodius piece and passed it on to me in 1978
My brother introduced me to this kind of music...big up big bro... back in early 80s

Me. Still listening to Tchiku in July 2021. This song was on fire in early 80s.💃🏾💃🏾
Never stopped, I worked with Sammy Kasule and Moreno once or twice.
Splendid! The one and only Les Noir! Bless the boys wherever they may be..
WHEN i joined form 1 at nyamagwa boys kisii, i never knew the school had entertainment every saturday, i enjoyed music.
It was a song we loved singing when our school soccer team was going to play away from home
Kunywa beer chunga mzigo jamani! (Mzigo meaning wife or girlfriend ). EEEIIIISSSSHHH. Viva Bana ba Congo.
Takes me back to the late 70s when the British pound was equivalent to ksh.20. I was only 14 then. How time flies and good music lives on!
That's where 'pondo' came from.. Mbaoni, mbao, opondo, blue,
reminds me of my late bro Wilton who had a record player but was working in Nairobi in early 1980s. I was left to operate this vinyl player. I really liked this song.
