Absolutely. But Africa surely has to preserve this. The 60s and 70s have the best music of east Africa. The 70s through 90s was Congos time, the bongoman, wemba period.
Am shading tears while listening to this song , make me remember wen we were small kids my mum use to dance the song infront of us . Keep up mum . May God continue giving you healthfull like
I danced to THESE people in December 1980 to be exact during my First return visit to Kenya from the USA taken to Garden Square by my now late brother in law and my late sister Mary Olale. I was soooo excited because I was never a might club gal ❤🎉🎉😂. It was great Holiday to remember I still have their small records around 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you Dad for making me love this oldies ...continue resting in peace. Those days kids were never allowed to come close near radio casset when playing 😃
1974 our dad used to force us to carry small bags of coffee to cross swamps to the Indian coffee stores by then, we could go back home with salt. RIP mum & dad and my young brother as well. Greetings from Rio de Jan, BRA.
The reason why ilove watching and listening to this music,,,is that ,,THEY NEVER SHOW THEIR NAKEDNESS ,LIKE TODAY INDUSTRY...RATHER THEY DRESS DECENTLY...the message is very clear no insults
So sweet and fresh every day... reminds me the old fashion African wood 📻 and KBC idhaa ya taifa.. my dad loved to listen to this songs especially on Sundays . So sweet can't get enough
Those were the times & the years Nairobi was known as the "City in the Sun." Life was goooooood! Kenyans of all works of life were really nice to one another, including the visitors. It didn't matter who you were or where you were from, Nairobi on Weekends, was the place to be!
Am from Kenya and a kikiuyu by tribe and kambas are our distant cousins.. I want to put it clear that the drums, lyrics somehowly catches the themes, dancing styles of the A bantu tribes, and we belong to the bantus and their eating or dancing concepts and behaviours or almost same
Exactly my friend and thank you very much.......we are all Bantus my bro...and the music beatings definitely relates to the tunes....the difference is just the language of our ethnicity
I remember them from when I was a kid late 70s & early 80s,we lived on the same street in Nairobi (Nairobi West's Kodi road).We'd go behind the house they lived & did rehearsals & peep through the fence. Fantastic time, another legendary band also lived nearby,Les wanyika.
Nice to hear this those were good old days we could go behind the hall that's Simba club magadi peep through the window just to hear or see they played live band
Has a chilling effect on me. Childhood is the best.... no frills. Yes, more so if you grew up in Eastlands like me. Dancing mangelepa dance and mokonyonyo - skonyo steps
reminds me of my two uncle who attended all their shares in Zimbabwean then followed them back up to Zambia were they were also touring and we aptly nicknamed his car 'mangelepa'.
12yrs ago I used to shade tears of the memories this song came along with but guess what, yes you're right I'm still shading tears of nostalgia... Long live our legends and the great music we have... May God bless us akih.
seriously brings back memories this music used to be played at silver springs on weekends and if was audible from kololo my sisters would sneak and go for disco wearing those scotish skirts and platform shoes .iwas still young but i clearly remember .
Jim Ocholla ( my cousin) cheza Mangelepa . My all time favorite band Garden Square Nairobi . Evani Vivi Late Les Capitaine Beami Walumona , Sax Tabu , rhythm Maindusa love ❤️ is Mangelepa!
When life was so good and meaningful, when the world was young and tough daddy would call mum by name whilst such sweet music played, how meaningful life was then! RIP daddy.
I grew up listening to this group Mangelepa. Oh those were the days “Nyako Nyako Konya” means lady lady help me in Luo speaker in Kenya. The seben is nothing you’ve ever heard anywhere.
Memories are made of this. Their music will never get old. Les Mangelepa band members were our neighbours at Fort Jesus, Nairobi in the 70's. We would pop in for a chat. They were very popular with the ladies.
Reminds me always of my late brother Neville Kambu dozing down under his feet listening to that music was a young by then.. music Wil never die..rip your old age team if still alive.
Living under IDD AMIN and you're still alive in Nai (Most stressful City in the World Currently) now??! The Kenyan must be pushed to pay you some compensation fee!! Why should you suffer that Much as an African who loves *"Nyako konyaa?"* 😂😂
Prototype connoisseurs & maestros of East African rhumba…their fame transcended borders internationally! This popular mellow tune has evoked such fond & vivid memories of yesteryear in my newly independent republic of Zim 🇿🇼❤️❤️❤️!
These guys were young men with bell bottom and high waist trousers in the 70s. I was in my teens. I used to attend there live shows at Garden Square and Park inn. They are now old as I am also in my 60s but still full of energy.
I got married through this song,am happily married for 37yrs.
If you are from Kenya you must admit that intro from guitar to drums has a Kamba feeling!! Sweet!!!
For sure it's akamba intro
Remember it was compost in Kenya, Recorded at Jojo Production
I knoow ryt
Haha.. Thought so tu
I like ur feeling
The really legends

Africa is ours. East Africa to the fullest!!!
absolutely envy all of you who were there when it was going down. this is absolutely fantastic.
I'm a Brit guy. Was a teacher in Zambia 1973-75.
This was the music ... along with Jimmy Cliff songs.
Best memories. Great people

This song used to be played on KBC idhaa ya Taifa only, so sweet songs
Wow.....takes me way back in time, when our mums were so young and we were so little, when we weren't aware so much hatred and evil existed amongst us
Nakumbuka Uhuru Park Nairobi .kweli muziki wa zamani ni dhahabu

I first watched this L' Ochestre Mangelepa in 1979 when I was in College in Zomba, Malawi. Welcome back on stage Mangelepa.
Grew up with this band in Nairobi in the 70s and attended their shows. Very sentimental. They did a powerful song for President Moi
Greetings from Barranquilla Colombia. here we love this music too much
I used to listen to this band because of the undying love my mom(RIP) had on this kinda music.. Am 28 and it brings back good old memories..
Am from Kenya and a kikiuyu by tribe and kambas are our distant cousins..
I want to put it clear that the drums, lyrics somehowly catches the themes, dancing styles of the
A bantu tribes, and we belong to the bantus and their eating or dancing concepts and behaviours or almost same
Exactly my friend and thank you very much.......we are all Bantus my bro...and the music beatings definitely relates to the tunes....the difference is just the language of our ethnicity
Ooooh Wonderfull AFIKA
Our own African Music ,Our Rich Heritage! One Love from Zimbabwe!
Big up Zimbabwe and Mr M FOREVER!
Did you feel the Leonard Dembo guitar from the frst intro song and the Chimbetu that followed
@@nigelnonemadzimure excatly i heard that too and wondered if i was listening to our own dendera kings
Sungura music, influenced by kanindo records, actually developed from the Kenya benga music. Thus a lot of similarities. Africa we are one.
Very true ,our legends were busy stealing and plagiarizing other greats without acknowledging!!
NYAKO KONYA is loosely translated to 'help me lady' in Luo from kenya 🇰🇪
Leaving this one for those who will come here in 2072
I will have 73 old years ❤❤
