Yesterday I was playing roga roga for kids despite the fact they're in USA I tell them more about life back home and my mama was enjoying it on face time. ❤❤❤
Fred Obachi,Titi Nagwala,Haggai Isanya and Dee(Presenter 001) your services are highly needed.We need a quality interview with people who understands who KANDA is... please!
Wow!! You know i just searched for the Legend's songs and boom i saw this broadcast.. am so happy to learn that he is still alive and even released new music.. i am so delighted coz the way i love his music is immeasurable.. we need these legends for the current generation and the future generation!! I wish we could have him in my home country, Botswana one day!! God bless him and give him more days
Am very privileged to have watched kanda live while in Nairobi in early 90s and severally here in Different Europe cities. This guys music is lovely kwasa kwasa and am very happy to have almost all his music 6 hours nonstop as mp3 on my phone which I listen to every time I think of listening to his music. Long live the legend kanda Bongoman 🙏.
Kanda Bongoma was and is still the African maestro, his songs are heaven sent and as he confirms they can just like that. I can listen to him all day long
Kanda Bongo man is a legend. His music is loved by all generations . He did the "My Lovely Elizabeth" or "My Sweet Elizabeth" song well. The song was originally by S. E Rogie Sooliman Ernest Rogers "Rogie" (1926 - 4 July 1994), better known as S. E. Rogie, who was a highlife and palm wine musician and guitarist from Sierra Leone. Died: 4 July 1994 (aged 68); Lewisham, London, England, United Kingdom Born: 1926; Fonikoh, Pujehun District, Sierra Leone
I agree to this! The story could be different, but the melody and some words in Kanda Bongoman's song bear significant similarities with S.E. Rogie's song "My Lovely Elizabeth."
Shocked to hear Kanda claiming the composition of the song, 'My Lovely ELIZABETH'. My knowledge reminds me of early 60's of Rogers of Sierra Leone who was the composer of the original version of the song.
@danieloumawasingo9041 Kanda Bongoman as great and legend as he is should definitely acknowledge S.E. Rogie for the cover he did (My Lovely Elizabeth), which was popular too. We know the original song and who was behind it!
Kanda is a legend and he should be honoured in Kenya by being interviewed by someone who can remember back those years eg Fred obachi,titi nagwara and others,u can see he asks these journalists who was the information minister during the kibaki error and they don't know
There is an interview Catherine Kasavuli made, she said, RAPHAEL TUJU, was the one that invited her to the airport on Kanda Bongo Man’s arrival and asked her if they had met before. Not sure if Raphael Tuju was trying to clear the air, but Catherine did mention this story herself. Must have been on the Churchill Show or elsewhere..
To be fair, these two are also doing the interview well. They are equal to the task. They have not disappointed. Let us give our young presenters a chance too.
A critically letdown with today's young journalists; is that they're too lazy to do a research on a topic prior to interview, though they have everything at their fingertips, unlike yester years yonder. They think journalism is about talking endlessly, devoid of substance, new input...they invariably fail to contextualise. (can't contextualise without a research). How come these two had failed to google 'Bela Bela band' the most widely popular and extremely innovative Zairois band of the 70s; inasmuch as when Kanda mentioned it it was like a bolt from the thunder for them! People all Africa over danced to 'BELA BELA' beats in mid 70s and early 80s and Kanda was in the thick of it as a singer ---they had no clue! Or, the song 'Sweet Elizabeth' which was not originally Kanda's but by a Sierra Leonean artist, one Suleman E. Rogie. Originally composed as a palm wine song, 'My Little Elizabeth' went on to mesmerize the entire continent in late 60s, in Kinshasa, Lubumbashi, Lobito, Lusaka et, making a variety of spinoffs wherever it passed through. In Tanzania it was rendered as ' 'Nalala Mbali juu ya Pesa'!
Spot on. Symptom of our failed society. People get into positions too big for them. This was a golden chance to educate the world. Unfortunately, this kind of interview is not isolated. Somebody may remind them to study great interviewers to develop the art. I am not sure I understand what Kenyan media houses look for when employing presenters. It may be limited to some character only they know.
The interviewers themselves were awed and mesmerized and never asked any meaningful questions. How about those who had not heard of him before? The interview was not progressive at all. Kindly take it positively. Start with the basics - the musician's background,then move on systematically..
Its obvious here these interviewers are too young to know anything about this great man of Africa & Congolese music. They should have done their homework at least.
Interviewers with no research, and the guest didn't want to expose them so he just flowed along. If you don't know that Sweet Elzabeth is an old West African hit, then please, kindly avoid wanamuziki wakongwe. Stick to interviewing Gengetone and the like. What a waste of an opportunity!
Radio maisha you have failed to let this young kids interview such a legend!!!!!
This kids don’t know how to interview… oh my God 😮 they are not letting the Maestro finish giving out information
Kabisaaa saa Ile udaku imeshika ime ana uliza swali ya kifala 7:15
That's was the biggest mistake
Fred obachi machoka should be the one to interview this guy
Yesterday I was playing roga roga for kids despite the fact they're in USA I tell them more about life back home and my mama was enjoying it on face time. ❤❤❤
Yap ...not these two losers ati what are you eating....off topic
That story on how he came up with his best-known song _Monie_ was GOLD. It shows that the best of things can come from not-the-best circumstances.
Fred Obachi,Titi Nagwala,Haggai Isanya and Dee(Presenter 001) your services are highly needed.We need a quality interview with people who understands who KANDA is... please!
Those guys would have made the interview about them...
I agree
Am not a music fun but I love kanda Bongo man madly mostly with his dancing styles waaaawwwww
I love Kanda Bongo man! I have been listening to him since I was 15. He has touched lives; I mean generations. I love you, our Legend.
Wow!! You know i just searched for the Legend's songs and boom i saw this broadcast.. am so happy to learn that he is still alive and even released new music.. i am so delighted coz the way i love his music is immeasurable.. we need these legends for the current generation and the future generation!! I wish we could have him in my home country, Botswana one day!! God bless him and give him more days
This music used to be a hot hit when I was still a youth in early 1990s. It is still nice to listen to.
His voice is really touching it is in harmony with his way of playing instruments. His music will never come out of fashion to my ears.
Am very privileged to have watched kanda live while in Nairobi in early 90s and severally here in Different Europe cities. This guys music is lovely kwasa kwasa and am very happy to have almost all his music 6 hours nonstop as mp3 on my phone which I listen to every time I think of listening to his music. Long live the legend kanda Bongoman 🙏.
He made people crazy,Watu hata walivunja meno,wapate gap ya kanda 😅😅
😅😅
😂😂😂😂 you are so funny 👍🏽
Mayooooo
Kanda Bongoma was and is still the African maestro, his songs are heaven sent and as he confirms they can just like that. I can listen to him all day long
But the man is old but he looks to be young.God bless you kanda
He is 69
Kanda Bongoman is a top professional. No wonder he has stayed on top this long.
Very good interview. Kanda bongo you are eloquent. God bless you and radio maisha
I want to meet him too. He’s my best musician
Kanda the Great. Good to see you. God keep blessing you.

Really great song
Wow the way I love Kanda Bongo songs 😌😌🥳 He is actually a great man
Oh candabongo man i do like this song (Isambe)🎉🎉❤
Kanda ur songs is news everyday I enjoy it my Almighty God bless you
Seemingly the interviewers do not have touch with rhumba music especially from this legend.
Very true. They're shallow and seemed unprepared
Totos interviwing a Rhumba legend.
Tik tok generation trying to accomodate a legend ....NI KAZI THOUGH! BUT hii ni kazi ya akina Uncle Fred and the like.
Ama Atea
My lovely Elizabeth original song was done by Sierra Leonean musician in the 1960s or earlier. Mr. Kanda should give credit to this fellow.
Even now,when I hear bongo man songs,I just get refreshed.
Woow, that monie song Got me scratching my head. Just came out of the blue like that.
His name was in everyone before coming and even after he left Tanzania. Remonds me of rolling my waist tryong to dance like Bongoman in 1993
Thanks legend Kanda Bongoman when am sad your songs make me relax
Kanda is a legend and he should be honoured in Kenya by being interviewed by someone who can remember back those years eg Fred obachi,titi nagwara and others,u can see he asks these journalists who was the information minister during the kibaki error and they don't know
I saw Kanda Bongoman live at Kinondoni in Dar Es Salaam. The song Hidaya was a hit.
El más grande
Kanda Bongo Man
Long live legend 💪 I like your songs very much
is nob.1 musician in Uganda we love you so much
I salute you sir 🥰😚🥰😚🥰
Legend! 🇸🇱🇺🇸
Yesu Kristu is the best song in the world
Kandabongoman mziki wake nakumnuka sana 1992 ndani ya inde mon🎻
Mwanzo nikikumbuka wakati wa music time na fred obach machoka siku ya jumapili kwenye television wacha tu.
The same to me when I was young I listen to the radio 📻 of my parents indemoniii👏👏👏🤝🇨🇩🇹🇿
His memory has struck me all those years he only forgot the name of noah katanga ngala
True, he’s an icon
Wrong, he forgot the name of Raphael TUJU who was the minister of information and broadcasting in KIBAKIS government
68 years old and still doing shows only afew legends are still alive yondo kofie all pushing late 60's.
Wallo is my best song of Kanda bongo man
I love kanda ,,am so happy he speaks good English
Lots of love watu walivunjika migongo meno vidole Ile song ya pesa pesa
KBM 4rever
Great again papa
I always love yo music oooh
Eg Monie, sweet Elizabeth en many more 🎉
Yeah am glad for this
Afro music pioneers 🔥🔥🔥
Kids are still doing inde morning yoyoyo.. Inde inde .. amoniser ft Dully sykes .. Inde song ..inspired by Kanda Bongo man
There is an interview Catherine Kasavuli made, she said, RAPHAEL TUJU, was the one that invited her to the airport on Kanda Bongo Man’s arrival and asked her if they had met before. Not sure if Raphael Tuju was trying to clear the air, but Catherine did mention this story herself. Must have been on the Churchill Show or elsewhere..
One of My wife’s favorite African Artist.
Old is Gold ❤
More respect legend Kanda Bongo Man
He is still the same Kanda Bongoman i was able to talk to him at JKIA Airport while he was on transit to Kinshasa.
😅😅😅😅😅Kanda bongo your very funny So indemoni come like a miracle am just wondering my favorite artist you and Sam Mangwana for me💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
To be fair, these two are also doing the interview well. They are equal to the task. They have not disappointed. Let us give our young presenters a chance too.
Congo Yawa Congolese Ni Moto 💥💥💥💥💥💗💗💗
love you kanda I remember since I was young in busia
His best albums: Malinga and Inde Monie. The king of Kwasa kwasa
Amour Fou, Sai Liza, Sango 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Just the background music defines the great man's creativity❤
He deserves big respect
❤❤❤❤❤❤Nduku yangu Kanda twiende papa
This guy has a gold voice
Nakukubari sana mwamba bongomani haichukui kabisa
Nawapata vizuri zaidi toka mwanzo hadi mwisho! ✊❤️
Poor interview approach from a rhumba legend .. Kanda Bongo Man is a big brand
I met him personally at vibro club lang'ata road..got some few pictures with him!A nice guy too.
I like how he's clear
A living legend...
Elizabeth originally sung by Rogie ..kindly note under title My lovely Elizabeth...similar beats
So inspiring
Sasa mnaacha vifaranga kama mimi wanahoji legend? kueni serious 😂😂
Wewe hakuna kijiji kinachokosa wazee hata kwenu baba yako kaheshimiwa tangu wako vijana na mama yako hadi nyie watoto bado mwamuheshimu
Maze. Wamekosa sana
u r the best of all
This old man should have met the blackest man in Africa.
Fred Obach mwenyewe. These interviewers are very chaotic. Very poor interviewing skills
I was in my third year, but can't forget intercontinental
That's song melina making me crazy
The twist seem was btwn Raphael Tuju, Catherine Kasavuli, Oyugi and Moi.
Kanda Mbongo man could have been interviewed with those people who danced to his music , who grew up in his music si hao watoi.
Refreshing show.
Namkubali sana
Allah bless you

I salute you..imagine the lazy journalist could even know kanda bongoman was speaking about Raphael Tuju as minister for information in Kibaki era
No research .it’s all for clicks ,zero substance
Ekipe song
Kanda bongo man
The interviewers themselves were awed and mesmerized and never asked any meaningful questions. How about those who had not heard of him before? The interview was not progressive at all. Kindly take it positively. Start with the basics - the musician's background,then move on systematically..
Huyu mwamba ni kitu kingine asee!! Enzi zetu
Its obvious here these interviewers are too young to know anything about this great man of Africa & Congolese music. They should have done their homework at least.
The only singer ever had a sold out show in Dar es salaam for like 1,000 USD per ticket today's exchange rate
A palm wine tapper climbs the palm tree from the bottom .~ African proverb.
Kanda, immigration issues would have been the last to talk about.
The journalists are not aware that Kanda Bongoman did a remix of an already very popular song Elizabeth. Google ingesaidia zaidi.
Hawa wanajua tu Anita Anita wangu...
🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
The guy speaks swahili i dont know why the interview wans't in swahili
Inde monie …kwasa kwasa💃🏾🕺🏾
so the interviewers do not even know Raphael Tuju, who even worked at KTN. Always do your research before such interviews.
😁Old Is GOLD
Omg ..Kanda bongoman
Interviewers with no research, and the guest didn't want to expose them so he just flowed along. If you don't know that Sweet Elzabeth is an old West African hit, then please, kindly avoid wanamuziki wakongwe. Stick to interviewing Gengetone and the like. What a waste of an opportunity!
Kanda bongo man I want to invite you for Wedding Party in Dar el salaam next year and how to contact
Please ask him about the lady dancers are they still alive?
Look for sam mangwana too please
The journalists are definitely kids..They don't Balala was Tourism minister during Kibaki government
This is the legend
HUO wimbo ali-cpy uliimbwa zamani
