I promised this one a while back, and here it is! Tanzanian/Kenyan superstars Les Wanyika give us another scinitillating slice of Swahili Rumba, 1989's Nimaru (Polydor POLP 598). Nothing much to say about this one, so I'll let the music speak for itself. Enjoy!
Les Wanyika - Nimaru
Les Wanyika - Mama Watoto
Les Wanyika - Mumu Wangu Waniteza
Les Wanyika - Shemeji Agnes

Thanks John, looking forward to listening to this.

This is good. Love your Swahili posts. Rik
A critic once told me that in African popular dance music, the rhythm guitar is the cake, the soloist, the icing--was this ever truer than the Omari-Ngereza combo of Les Wanyika?
Always room for another Les Wanyika album. Thanks, John!
Morning to you.
There's a song by either Les Wanyika or Simba Wanyika titled "Tuwaepuke". Kindly if you can upload it. I will be glad.
