We're so happy to see people enjoying Mukabi's music so much! If you would like to get in touch with him or book him to play music please get in touch at admin@singingwells.org and we'll give you his information.
Wau if i couldn't have come through this on TH-cam, i couldn't have known the instruments they are using,, i was listening to this on my dads wooden radio those days we had No tv, and that radio no one else could attempt to switch it on without the dads permission 😂😂
TH-cam suggested this to me today. What a beautiful oldie! No matter how long it gathers dust on the shelves, it is still a melodious gem to listen to even today.
What these old men are showing us is that you only need simple tools to be creative. And that's how creative our Kenyan musicians were in the 1960s to 1970s. But just listen to the crap we get in our ears in the 21st. century!
First heard this in early 70s. They Sounds even better now in their advanced age. Chorus basically says: “It’s not clothing, to borrow from someone A child is not clothing, to borrow from someone If you don’t have yours, you will cry a lot If you don’t have yours, you will cry a lot” Deep meaning enhanced by his touching voice, and the instruments ..wow!! This song was spot on in epitomizing the value of children in African culture.
The Late George Mukabi' s Singuo replayed by his younger brother Johnstone . George Mukabi (1930-1963) was a folk musician from western Kenya, and was one of the first recording musicians in Kenya. In his short musical career he recorded less than 30 songs. He made platinum hits and was one of very few Kenyan musicians to own a car. His playing was massively popular and influential, affecting urban players like John Mwale, also a Luhyia and created what became sukuti music, popular among western Kenya's traditional people. He was killed in 1963 by his in-laws when an argument with his wife's family got out of hand
...can’t stop listening to this songs by our own Kenyan greats...there are so beautiful,inspiring and original...Would love to meet & play with legendary songwriters...
This is very very wonderful...i must say. When it's said that Music has no age..i've seen an example from these elderly persons. I wish them a very long life in God's Name
A very educative song, they sing in swahili, ( East African) that a child is not like a piece of clothe, or a dress, you cannot lend or be lend, you need your own
Música é a coordenação de sons com melodia, harmonia e rítimo, Não importa quem vai fazer o barulho. Pode ser até uma garrafa de fanta como reco-reco, uma colher de metal em repique e o maravilhoso som das cordas do mias popular instrumento do mundo que em contraponto de um dedilhado único, abrilhanta a simplicidade da harmonia, regido pela marcação do som da sola do sapato do pé esquerdo. kkkkkkk, lindo de mais. DEUS ESCOLHE QUEM ELE QUER, para distribuir os seus dons. Parabéns vocês são abençoados pelo criador do mundo.
Sabe Deus o q estão falando, mais eu sinto uma alegria tão tremenda...q energia boa...vem aqui, povo ..me sinto filha ,irmã, desse povo....amo.com. Eliane Sant Anna Niterói RJ
You people see a little red soil, and assume people are squalid and miserable? They are all clean, dressed smart and in a natural landscape. Why make assumptions?
Chorus ‘Is not clothing to borrow from someone A Child is not clothing to borrow from someone If you don’t have yours you will cry a lot If you don’t have yours you will cry a lot’
Si "utaomba mtu" lakini ni " hutaomba mtu". Maana yake ni ya kwamba nguo unaweza omba mtu, akupatie, uvae, uende nao safari, na kadhalika. Lakini mtoto ukikosa, umekosa. Huombi mtu vile unaweza omba nguo. Hiyo ndiyo maana ya hii wimbo.

🎸 guitarist keeping the beat with his left foot
Comes natural as a guitarist. I always find myself doing the same when playing guitar. Helps with transitions a lot
I suggest we support this elderly general s for good work they did with as little as 500/- for those who love there music
Good idea. I'm in agreement.
Am here willing to help
Count me

AFRICANS POLITICAL LEADERS LET US ENCOURAGE PROFESSIONALISM IN OUR CONTINENTS OOOOOOO
This was a real deal during our childhood. Pure and original instrumentals , "fanta bottles"
The government should be compensating for these grandies..their vybz are still🔥🔥
Remembering those days,hiyo chupa ya fanta imenkumbsha mbali mno
One of my old time favourites. I think I have bought all of George Mukabi's songs. Hopefully his family receives the royalties
Ukweli huo ulikuwa muziki ,be blessed you guys ,the three babas
Ooohh my God.... I felt it.... I was born and found this song sing.... Alleluia....
We celebrate these household names who reigned the airwaves for years entertaining Kenyans and the world. Mtoto si Nguo!
Happiness is to do and get what you want. These guys seem to have found it. It is never money or richness you can be happy absolutely with nothing.
Passion.
Mashaallah zamani hadiraha siyisikuhizu watu watoto wanaruka majoka wanakata viuno lakini hawa tuliii walla hawatoki masho kamasasa
Mtoto si nguo utaomba nashukuru mungu kwa kunipa watoto
Siyo "utaomba mtu" wala ni "hutaomba mtu". One is the opposite of the other.
Dah!! Nilawakubali sana miziki yenu nimizuri sana cjui tatizo linakuwaga wapi wanamziki kama nyie kukosa hela nimakosa sana emungu waangaliye
That's. Too great, and a nice one
Wowww so nice these are talented wazeee

Simplicity at the best, good job gentlemen
Nimefik nakumbuk ningali mdogo sio ivi wacheza mziki wote wako uchi
My grandfather had all your songs...i inherited the tapes and records.....music from the ground
Kweli kabisa
Thank you our elders, I love your action
Kweli kabisa,Mtoto siyo si nguo utaomba Mtu,ukikosa wako utalia sana.
Si "utaomba mtu" lakini ni " hutaomba mtu". Maana yake ni ya kwamba nguo unaweza omba mtu, akupatie, uvae, uende nao safari, na kadhalika. Lakini mtoto ukikosa, umekosa. Huombi mtu vile unaweza omba nguo. Hiyo ndiyo maana ya hii wimbo.
Mtoto si nguo, imekaa poa
Waoooh mtoto sio nguo.... my favourite song
Tunaijoi kabisa kama bado naguvu bata wako asi
These grandfathers really made my day
Ni kweli sio nguo Wala pesa
True legends. Wengine ni bandia. These pioneers deserve a good treat.
Soy de Haití me encanta el ritmo 👊👊
