Mayaula Mayoni joined TPOK Jazz at the end of 1973 as a rhythm guitarist and composer. Prior to that he had been a professional footballer, he played professional football for a tanzanian club and as a left winger for the top Zairean club of the time (AS Vita). He played for the Vita side they reached the finals of the Africa Champions cup. He also played for the Zairean national team. He never was fully a member of TPOK Jazz however. He was more of a freelance composer who provided his songs to various bands. Besides Nabali Misere, his other compositions witg the TPOK jazz include Bondowe, Mitelengano?, Bondowe II and Momi. He won Zairean composer of the year honours three times. He was also a scholar, he studied data science to a Masters level in a Belgian university. After leaving TPOK Jazz in 1979, he continued with his prolific career for another two decades. His last album (Bikini) came in 2000. He passed away in Brussels in 2010.
I have looked for this song everywhere on TH-cam. I didn't know the title. I have no words completely to describe the memories this song brings to my heart. The good old days in Madaraka Estate Nairobi. My dad loved playing it so much. RIP my sweet dad. I both cry and laugh and dance when this song plays. Great song for great listeners.
When was that Pamela,for i use to visits mama Esther there at madaraka estate but finally she died in Ruanda during the height time of genocide although i was crazy with conglese musician.
I want to thanks brothers from Kenya especially Kenneth Nyongesa. I posted my request here looking for a song i was looking for since 2008. I did not know the namr of song and artist. Kenneth contacted me on my whatsapp number. I send an audio humming the tune and in less tgan 30 minutes he had found the song. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻. This is brotherhood. This is Africa. Let us be united like this brothers especially via music. I am convinced this is what the musicians themselves wanted even when some of them have passed on. The song was done by Les Wanyika and is called Simimi
Si mimi is a good song but it was done by a splinter group from Les Wanyika led by Issa Juma. The splinter group was known as Super Wanyika or Wanyika Stars. It was released after Issa Juma had left Les Wanyika to form Wanyika Stars.
Timeless classic music, rhumba music of the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s stands head and shoulder above all, May Their Dear Souls Continue To Rest In Eternal Peace
I remember this Mayaula Mayoni as a deadly striker and a winger of the the then Congo-Kinshasa national team in 1968 when they played two friendly matches against the Kenya national team ( Harambee Stars ). Congo-Kinshasa had just won their first Africa Cup of Nations title by beating Ghana 1-0 in the final. The tournament was held in Ethiopia. I had the privilege of watching both the matches at Nairobi City Stadium. I had just joined high school that year.
For the love of my late father,Benjamin horace kangah. May his soul rest in peace 🙏. My dad loved this song soooo much ..and influenced me in to rhumba
The year is 2020, a confusing year, but this evergreen tune always sweetening my memories of growing up in the vast sugarcane farms of Mumias, Western Kenya! Long live KBC the mother radio.
2020 we're here! This Mayaula Mayoni was a music genius, remember he didn't sing in any of his songs, he only played guitar but write the songs for those with vocals. In this song he played rhythm guitar. He wrote great songs for various artists including lady Mpongo Love. He joined Franco's TPOK but he never was a full time member, he was just a freelancer who wrote a number of songs & presented then to vocalists. Prior to joining music, he was a footballer playing for then Kinshasa clubs & Congo national team
@@geoffreywanderi7837 Mayaula was never a TPOK member, he was a freelancer who provided the songs he wrote to whoever to sing. He played rhythm guitar in this song.
Am very delighted to youtube for this music and directly reflects on my very difficult secondary school life in Bukedi college Kachonga between 1981-1984.
If ever music is played in heaven then this are kind of songs, great job Mr mayaula,, we'll keep on listening to your nice music as you keep resting in pea
We lived in simple villages with mostly grass thatched houses. Most of this music could be danced only in funerals. We sneaked out of our hamlets and crossed valleys and hills at night looking for funerals just to dance. Sometimes I wonder why we should not classified as night runners!
Not surprised this was a classic hit! With the great legend Djo Mpoyi and his ally, Mr Diatho Lukoki on vocals and the doctor Mayaula Mayoni, what did you expect?
A hit of all times. Great memories this brings, going home for lunch while in my primary school and kbc idhaa ya taifa had this hitting the airwaves, oh my....
Comme elle était belle cette époque où la C.I avait l'allure d'un village d'alliance à plaisanteries entre les différends peuples sans distinction d'appartenance ethnique, de confession religieuse ni d'origine sociale sans microbes ni de coupeurs de route et de braqueurs. Le beau pays d'Houphouet Boigny. Vraiment très nostalgique. Merci l'artiste de permettre ce voyage dans le temps. RIP.
Remembering my friends in the 1980s,Paul Oloo munda, Dancan Opiyo Ogendo, Thure Komuoro and Pamela Anyango Dolla. The days were great and liveable. So help me God.
These days, girls were girls, boys were men of integrity, men of 80s, I bless you all, for some of us who had gone, let them dance with the angels!! I respect all of you!!
Comme si ça ne datait que d'hier. Je ne me lasserai jamais d'écouter mille fois cette musique, cette mélodie, cette rythmique qui rappellent tant de souvenirs. Infiniment merci au groupe... Pour la plupart, partis depuis. Reposez en paix dans le jardin des immortels...
Remembering my youth in Bogolobi Flats in 1982. Used to escape to Rafiki Bar in Kamwokya. All my colleagues are either ageing in the countryside or dead. Am the only one here. Remembering girls like Jamaica, yuyu, tabu, vene, kayola,mayoyi, and their friends like Lumumba, mahe, mawa. All have vanished. RIP mayaula Mayoni

In memory of my brother, Lt. Lokoda Peter of Kangole Karamaja Ugamda, killed in 1983 by his own harpelss Acholi UNLA Commander Officer of then Moroto Batallion, Captain Odyek. Life in Kangole has never been the same again. RIP
My sincere sympathies. Small world, I grew up in Moroto as a kid. Went to School in Kangole Girls School, headed by Sr. Lucia. David Pulkol was in Kangole Boys!!! I now live in Canada. Thank you alakara noi🙏🏻🙏🏻

I heard this when I had just joined my secondary school in Jinja Uganda. I had friends like Bwire John Haondo, Wandera Bernard Luduba and Philip Ombuki. Bwire John would sing as if he was the composer as we walked the journey from Jinja SSS to Mpumudde Housing Estate. I know Bwire is alive but just wondering what happened to the other two! The music was refreshing.

Great lyrics and instrumentation, listened to it in the village tea parties as a young lad, later became one of my favorites during my short stint as a studio announcer on KBC swahili service. Reminds me of my late bro samuel peter wandago odongo and our audio librarian Mr. Munala. May Jah of armies grant peace to your families
Swahili guys I need your help. There is a song am looking for. Its the mold of songs done by Les Wanyika and its in Swahili not DRC Lingala. i can only hum the tune. can someone get intouch on my mobile so i can send the audio +263772742007. thanks guys
This music was in full swing in 70s in Liberia West Africa. By that time we were just children under age. But I do remember the music sounds very well.
Evergreen and timelessness...and this is 2023...Rest in Peace, Mayaula.

The good old days in Madaraka Estate Nairobi. My dad loved playing it so much. RIP my sweet dad. I both cry and laugh and dance when this song plays. Great song for great listeners.
This song is legendary.🔥🔥🔥
When was that Pamela,for i use to visits mama Esther there at madaraka estate but finally she died in Ruanda during the height time of genocide although i was crazy with conglese musician.
Also try Na Bali Misere by the same wizard,though I wish you a happy marriage.Simply great stuff.
This song is a killer Nyathiwa
Music that talks in a language you can understand, nostalgic.

Wao did not know that.
so he was both a musician and a football player?
@@purewriters5023 yeah and he excelled in both.
Who won the two friendlies?
And, he was the guy behind 'Ndaya' by Mpongo Love. Mayasa Mayoni Mayaula was possibly a genius we never acknowledged.
In Zaire they appreciate and support their legends in all ways possible.
Toweli nini and Sheri Bondowe are also his compositions.

In memory of my brother, Lt. Lokoda Peter of Kangole Karamaja Ugamda, killed in 1983 by his own harpelss Acholi UNLA Commander Officer of then Moroto Batallion, Captain Odyek. Life in Kangole has never been the same again. RIP
My sincere sympathies. Small world, I grew up in Moroto as a kid. Went to School in Kangole Girls School, headed by Sr. Lucia. David Pulkol was in Kangole Boys!!! I now live in Canada. Thank you alakara noi🙏🏻🙏🏻
That is a long time ago but I relate.

Used to play this,1984, on my uncle's Sierra Record player...RIP my uncle Kemanwa for you introduced me into Rhumba...
My days in our youth in rural Uganda..Masaka Bbuudu to be particular..my cousin by name of Joseph Mukusa a teacher then at the famous St Bernards college used to buy these records each month end and we could groove endlessly before going out to the local drinking or watering points. 1974...1978...in Kiswera..man..life was surreal.l remember these days view avidly and vividly sebo!!!!
I also just heard it recently and it woke me up
My teenage days song you can't compare with the current music
I love this song so much that I can not stop playing it. I don't know the meaning of this song but loved it. I from Liberia
Nowdays there is translaions being done on you Tube,, try your luck.
The title of the song Ba Chagrins = our grief. it tells the story of promise of love forever. But it did not out.

I heard this when I had just joined my secondary school in Jinja Uganda. I had friends like Bwire John Haondo, Wandera Bernard Luduba and Philip Ombuki. Bwire John would sing as if he was the composer as we walked the journey from Jinja SSS to Mpumudde Housing Estate. I know Bwire is alive but just wondering what happened to the other two! The music was refreshing.
Old is Gold. Always evergreen.
This kind music will always retain its taste for ever.
