FOR MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS JOIN THE YOUTUBE GROUP NAMED "AFRICAN MUSIC AND DANCE VIDEOS!" http://youtube.com/soukousOur videos are often long which means you have to be patient: It takes longer for them to load into your computer and start playing. Press 'pause' to let more video build up before pressing 'play.' On this recording, Jonal sings (he sang with O.K. Jazz shortly before and after the death of Franco). Shiko Mawatu on guitar. Shiko told me the other night that his first professional guitar playing job was touring with...DOCTOR NICO! Wow!! This video: In Kenya this song is known as "Sina Makossa." According to sources at Africambiance.org this tune was originally recorded by a Kenyan/Tanzanian group called Les Wanyika -- it can be purchased on a CD called 'Kenya Dance Mania', which has some other great East African music on it. Lokassa ya Mbongo does a nice job playing Professor Omari's original rhythm riffs from that recording, while lead guitarist Shiko Mawatu follows the lead of Les Wanyika guitarist Ngereza's original but brings a lot more skill to the playing. Listen to Shiko to hear what Ngereza really wanted to do. You can follow discussions like this among the savants at africambiance.org. I'm grateful to "antony" and "adoyo" there for their insights on SINA MAKOSSA.

To the person calling Swahili only an East African language. Those congolese in the Eastern part of congo speak swahili.

Omari Shabani of les wanyika composed the song,he played the lead guitar and the lead voice was by Issa Juma. These were Tanzanian musicians based in Nairobi Kenya in the 70s and 80s. Sadly most of them are dead now. Les wanyika had just broken off from another group Simba wanyika when they recorded this song.
For those considering buying a new vehicle, don't forget to check out the new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser. Great for adventures off road, just for cruising around town, or running to the store.

The new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser seats five and comes in two-tone with a Voodoo Blue, Titanium Metallic, Black Diamond, Sun Fusion, Sandstorm or Brick body color and White top. The interior fabric color is Dark Charcoal, while the dash, center instrument panel trim and the door inserts match the body.
