I also noticed a soft spot leaning towards Sunday-school rhymes..

Thanks Mawinder. I'm hunting for Franco's Bina na Ngai na Respect but so far no success.

I may need to trick my old man out of his VERY old copy next time I see him......[/quote]

There's a shop, shortl after Tom Mboya/Ronald Ngala streets junction on the left hand side ukitembea towards Haile Selassie avenue that may have the same. I happened to pop-in there while unsuccessfully hunting for the said gramophone and I saw they have some of that. They also supply some gramophone 'consumables' e.g stylus. Shop name is Melodica.
Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.

Magigi suggested Melodica too. I'll stop on my next trip. I found Franco on Amazon but $85 is way too much for a CD!

Thanks for the suggestions

Welcome to the world of tranquillity..

there is a shop along Moi avenue, opposite Assanands... hapo utapata all you looking for

Unless you want to do it the old fashion way.. vinyl, gramophone.. clean the vinlyl, place it in position.. takes some skill to place the 'ka-needle'... listen to the 'shhhhhhhhh' sound atleast 5 seconds... Then the song starts...

"Nabiso Candidat Mobutu Sese..na biso candidat mobutu sese... bandoki basiliteee" 17:30minutes side A
In your case you are singing

"makambo ezali binene.. mambo ngumu Ulaya... "

Musicland? I remember the place. I think that was the name back in the 90s. These places have incredible staying power!

I find that I listen to vinyl because it has a different sound. Less clean and clinical but more rounded. Part of it is just uzee.

I'll definitely check it out
