Tabu Ley was among the last of the great Congo generation, when Congo music was Congo music.  It's now struggling for relevance with the flood of so-called Afropop(which can be instantly catchy but also fades just as quickly like used chewing gum).

Tabu Ley - Tempelo


Good one. Indeed. Classic tunes that stand the test of time. 
Mumble rap is the worst of the new generation, man. Sadly it is catching on here amongst the gengetone and new genres of youth music in Kwiinya. Sounds like a chicken with turrets sqwaking endlessly


Classic tune. When I think Rhumba/Congolese music, I think Africa/being home. Best zikis to chill to on an easy day having lunch on a balcony in the cbd watching humanity flow by bila haraka yoyote kabsaaaaa

Boston mems. Charles River, a dunkin donuts on every street where the cashiers short change you every single time, terrible tasting pizzas, birds at Boston Common and riding the T. Boston is actually one of the few North Eastern cities I actually liked.

These song these song these song I tells ya reminds me of the the last days of high school...excitement of clearing fourth form. Is there any sweeter feeling than that in this here our Kwinyan Republic?

-No more terrible food
-No more waking up at ungodly hours to study
-No more imprisonment in classes and preps from morning to night
-No more crazy teachers, some with crazy shrubs and opinions
-No more study worthless junk like Organic Chemistry (COOOH=OH) that to this day I have not used even one jot or tittle of

I remember my last day kapsaaaa in school. We were the first ones to leave because our clusters had subjects that were tested early, meaning we left most of our peers rotting in the school waiting for their final papers. I will never forget that day ritru bit ritru bit. Sunny afternoon, bidding my buddy M.K. adios by the school field from the battered car window. Decades on..I have never seen him again since that day. The watchman saying "Kwaheri ya kuonana" at the gate. And those prison gates disappearing behind me forever. Sweet joy! These song these song these song I tells ya was playing on "cassette" in the car...


I later watched Mo Money the movie that year...reminds me sana of those ndays, those ndays, those ndays I tells ya. To be young, carefree, with your whole life ahead of you is something else, man. Then began the quest to escape Moi's Kwiinya and head to the land of milk and honey- USA (so I thought back then)!

When you need House and don't have a DJ, you can never go wrong with any mix by this icon of House.

Frankie Knuckles.

This Kenyan youngster Coco Em is not Shabby with her mixes.  Had me looking like a kook at the gym.

Good stuff. Hellyweird is unforgiving. They get these artists/actors on drugs, blackmail them turn them out and spit them out like garbage once done. That's why most of them lose their marbles and stay high 24/7. And that is If they do not whack them first. Look at Cosby. He got too comfortable and thought he was untouchable. Now he is cooling his heels with kina Jaykwon in the pen doing a bid. These world, these world, these world I tells ya!


Mississippi native Alex Oneal is not exception

99.999% of Actors and singers in Hellyweird are turnt out druggies, sadly.

These song these song these song reminds me of a certain Christmas spent in terrible Washington DC. A highly overrated city in my modest view.

Nice! House just remains classic throughout. Azania house has deep soul to it and rubs me the right way. Can't go wrong with anything from Bucie... not too tattered long aeroplane flight to a far away destination type music right here;

The 80s were glorious years, man. The zikis were innocent and thematically simple.
These songs, these songs, these songs I tells ya remind me of those seemingly simpler times. Reminds me of taking mathrees in town in the late 80s where they would shatter eardrums with these tunes..

The club remix!



a decent 80s and 90s mix

Master P did a remake of Rumors that I like. Reminds me of the one time I lived in a ghetto riding around in a beat up Jalopy in the 90s and sipping toxic OE fawties. Do they still exist?

Thanks for this one Njamba. Not much difference between Jamyeeaka and Kwiinya in terms of how the place looks. These are our long lost bredren and sistren

Sad that he died of the big mdudu. Philly was the Fela Kuti of East Africa. Speaking of Fela Kuti...


As usual the song is a long one with the words kicking in only after minute 8.54

Miaka ziniaenda, buddies. Back when Juacali used to make really deep songs that hit the soul. Everyone has their life journey. Reminds me of my morning jogs in the US blasting this on earphones
