Please give the backstory to why it brings memories (good or bad) for you

This one, this one, this one brings bad memories, my frens.... We got lost pamoja in the French Quarter. We were super young and in puppy luv. We were standing by the wall on a pavement with lots of humanity rushing by. All I remember was her taking refuge in my embrace as i put the jacket over us both because it was a bit chilly (Dec weather). This song was blaring from a nearby bar, not knowing what to do next in that big city. Imagine not knowing where to go next, its getting dark and there was no Whatsapp etc back then. Thankfully after about an hour of panic we see our buddies (who had disappeared without trace) walking down the street at a leisurely pace as if they had emerged from Gikomba market! I have never felt so happy and relieved seeing our fellow mwabrika like we did that day! She now lives in a different African country and we long ago lost touch. Memories jameni. I am sure wherever she is she remembers that day (and me) very well. Unfortunately, since I became a believer I do not listen to songs like these any more except very rarely like today.



Kelele makers and millenials please peleka upusi elsewhere, this is a serious, real and honest thread for grown folks only.

Why now?

This one (rare) reminds me of my pagan party days. That beat was heavy jameni.

he he he he were you one of those in the crowd dancing vigorously?
I always thought Wukan was a millenial kumbe wewe ni mzee wa kijiji sitting on a three legged stool. The past always seems like a simpler time because we remember more of the good than we do the bad. For me this era reminds of kina Rare Watts and the Fiat Uno they used to compete for. Many Kilimani mums swear by the fact that those compe's at KICC made their youth. Paco Perez, DJ babbs (Carni), I wonder if they are still alive. And Campus Nites at Club Visions Kimathi St aka "Visio" dancing till dawn..And their menacing bouncers in black suits. That dancefloor was small but always packed! hauuuuwiii those were the days.

oooh my...here we go...Vioja theme song

Tahamaki...

Pure truth my bradza.
But I think there were also other challenges of a unique sort back then. I for example detested school. Punishments, endless boring classes, exams pressure, terrible food in boarding school, very short likizo's that always ended too soon and so on. Leaving the gates of the "prison" I had just spent 4 years in after "clearing" the last KCSE exam was one of the happiest days of my life to date, bro! I even remember this song playing in the vehicle I was in as I saw the school gates disappear behind me forever!.....



Little did I know that life was just beginning and bills awaited

I haven't seen any song posted yet. Just signature tunes

Backstory on this one. I picture my mum in the kitchen cooking chapos and the shouting "mkimaliza kuona hiyo muzime mfanye homework"

if Boney M rings a bell wear those dancing shoes...70's & early 80's





Christmas wasn't Christmas without some Boney M
