    On mount Kenya slopes, Chuka is the place, kabutini is the village. It's on a Saturday, 4:30pm after taking a cup of tea with roasted yams (tea served from silverly shiny metallic kettle to our grey metallic cups). We are collecting dry coffee berries in our coffee plantation. My mother is collecting firewood ready to prepare supper. My late father is working on the coffee trees, with his wooden radio with AM frequency only covered in a yellow mat. He's tuned to KBC and this tune is playing. Our ears are glued to the tune as our nerves are being calmed down after working all day long. Young boys from the neighborhood wearing torn & patched khaki shorts are hunting birds with bows and arrows. Some are grazing goats and sheep. Young barefooted girls are from the river to fetch water with pots on their heads, while some are hurriedly collecting firewood in the bushes. The sun is going down in a beautiful horizon. Memories of good old days. Rip Tshala

    A very good song by Tshalla Muana. This is the song which introduced Tshalla to Kenyans after Elizabeth Zani featured it on URTNA-MUSIC FROM AFRICA programme on KBC TV in the late eighties. The original had a very emotional video with a very young and slim Tshalla crying real tears as she belted this classic. Would anyone have that original video and post it?
