It was kinda strange but I'm glad it went well.<br />I'm new to Mbaraka and I love his music. The strong connection to Franco is so clear. I don't understand Swahili but the guitar I do. I'm so stunned by Barakas way of playing. I really hope that you have more of him.<br /><br />LeFranckLeFranckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10693229639337655607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791963494354887351.post-42258081304525386812012-01-16T12:05:51.112-08:002012-01-16T12:05:51.112-08:00@LeFranck: I'll gladly upload it again, but I ...@LeFranck: I'll gladly upload it again, but I have downloaded it in two locations (work and home), and don't have a problem unrarring it...<br />So I am not sure this will help. <br />Mail me on the address in my profile and I will send the files to you directly.WrldServhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11086024409769016464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791963494354887351.post-10351134844485604912012-01-16T07:55:13.956-08:002012-01-16T07:55:13.956-08:00This LP was a must for me.

Last week I was researching the Kenyan music scene in back issues of the Standard, one of Nairobi's two main English-language newspapers, and was surprised at how little coverage Mwinshehe's tragic death received in the paper even though his music blared out of every bar, matatu and market.<br /><br /><br />Here in full is the sole Standard report of the accident, complete with poor grammar:<br /><br />Monday, January 15, page 2, col 5, lead<br /><br />Headline: Tanzanian singer dies<br /><br />The renown Tanzanian singer and band leader Mr Mbaraka Mwinshehe Mwaruka died on Saturday at the Coast General Hospital following a car accident at Kengeleni, Kongowea in which two other people also died.<br /><br />Mr Mwinshehe, who was on a recording tour in Mombasa with his Morogoro-based band Super Volcano, was seriously injured when the car<br />they were travelling in collided with a lorry and was rushed to hospital with leg and body injuries.<br /><br />Two of his companions died instantly.<br /><br />That's it, no photo, obituary, nothing. The newspapers in Kenya just didn't take music seriously at the time.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05659968949025127516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791963494354887351.post-58649012335386842562010-03-19T08:12:30.993-07:002010-03-19T08:12:30.993-07:00@Juan Carlos: Gracias for the additional informati...@Juan Carlos: Gracias for the additional information!WrldServhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11086024409769016464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791963494354887351.post-70858293339617737222010-03-18T18:57:35.659-07:002010-03-18T18:57:35.659-07:00some time ago of vol.12 Douglas paterson commente...some time ago of vol.12 Douglas paterson commented<br /><br />Volume 12: (cassette) Usiingulie Ugomvi Wao, Poleni Rufiji, Happy Christmas, Huyu Ni Shemeji Yako, Harusi No 2, Sitakata Tamaa, Headquarters ya Volcano, Vipi Posa (Mshenga No 2)<br /><br />http://www.clubafrika.com/bb/index.php?action=printpage;topic=1116.0<br /><br />Juan CJuan Carloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01624350545987094967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791963494354887351.post-45779478892530053122010-03-18T09:15:51.989-07:002010-03-18T09:15:51.989-07:00I got volume 11 from Natari but it's no longer...I got volume 11 from Natari but it's no longer on his page, some of the others are though<br />http://www.natari.com/tanzania.htmpoltroonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05036759189836532017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791963494354887351.post-83171235752714278022010-03-18T01:36:55.928-07:002010-03-18T01:36:55.928-07:00"Wapangaji hawana zogo nami" -
