KABAKA: THE KING OF TWIST
April 02, 2026 - 07:02 PM
“Msichana wa Elimu” is a wonderful track by Daudi Kabaka, backed by his Equator Sounds band colleagues and recorded at Equator Sounds. Although he recorded it twice, the original version is a superb song with a great melody and excellent guitar and saxophone work. The theme is also catchy, though it has been overtaken by time. A woman should not get married simply because society wants her to, or because she has reached what is considered the “right age” for marriage. “Mbona watoto wa nyuma yako wameolewa, wamekuwacha ukihangaika?” (How come your younger siblings are all getting married before you?) Apparently, those who dropped out of school to start......

ELIAKIM ROGO: A NEW VOICE IN LUO RUMBA
March 26, 2026 - 11:40 PM
Gem, in Nyanza, is a natural home of music talent. This is the very epicentre of the Benga earthquake that shook the entire country in the 1960s and 1970s. A galaxy of superstars, who made it big playing for various bands, came from the region that is in the current Siaya County, formerly Siaya District. As much as the emergence and dominance of the neighbouring Alego in matters academic is attributed to the strictness of a colonial chief by the name Odera Kang'o, who cracked a whip on locals to take their children to school, it is difficult to pinpoint one factor that can be considered significant in the region's success in music. It is from Kathomo in Gem that Eliakim Rogo, a new......

March 16, 2026 - 08:00 AM

WHY FAME FAVOURS THE SOLO GUITARIST
March 02, 2026 - 03:01 PM
In Rumba circles, a band is said to be as good as its solo guitarist. The departure of a band's soloist is often more noticeable than that of any other member. The deserter’s replacement also becomes news across town, and his style and mastery define the trajectory the band’s music will take. “Dino Vangu changed the style of Afrisa International when he took over from Dizzy Mandjeku,” Faugus Izeidi once opined. Faugus, a younger brother of Roger Izeidi, was himself a star mi-solo guitarist with the same band but quit years earlier to create his own band, Fiesta Populaire. What makes a solo guitarist such a star member that some bands only pay solo guitarists, while......
