Als men het in Kenya en Tanzania over gouden oudjes heeft
spreekt men respectievelijk van Zilizopendwa en Zilipendwa.
De plaat die we hier vandaag brengen komt dus uit Kenya
getuige de titel. Het is een verzameling songs gebracht door
verschillende artiesten. Ik raakte geïnspireerd toen ik gisteren
de cd ‘Urgent Jumping!’ kocht, een dubbel cd met East African
‘Musiki Wa Dansi’ Classics. Hij is in 2016 uitgebracht door
Sterns Music, STCD3067-68. Een aanrader voor liefhebbers
van deze sound. Luister naar de Mara Jazz Band, de Atomic
Jazz Band, de Western Jazz Band, de Nuta Jazz Band, de Jamhuri
Jazz Band en de Morogoro Jazz Band, ze staan geen van allen op
de besproken cd maar die zou ik blind bestellen als ik jou was..

If people in Kenya and Tanzania speak about golden oldies they
call it respectively Zilizopendwa and Zilipendwa. The record we
bring today is from Kenya witness its title. It is a collection of
songs by various artists. I got inspired when buying the cd ‘Urgent
Jumping!’ yesterday, a dubbel album with East African ‘Musiki Wa
Dansi’ Classics. It was released by Sterns Music in 2016, STCD
3067-68. a recommendation to all lovers of this sound. Listen
to the Mara Jazz Band, the Atomic Jazz Band, the Western Jazz
Band, the Nuta Jazz Band, the Jamhuri Jazz Band and the Morogoro
Jazz Band. None of them appear on the cd I spoke of but I’d order
that one without thinking twice if I were you..

    Zilizopendwa kabisa!
    But as far as I can see all those Bands and all those songs are from Tanzania. Superb music! The language is Kiswahili, lugha tamu!

      Sterns cd states Zilipendwa is from Tanzania and Zilizopendwa from Kenya,
      they must have switched facts around..I’m sure you know what you talk about..
      thanks Georges

    Thanks DJ Moose….
    All these are Tanzanian bands, however, in the 60’s, they only recording studios were in Nairobi, Kenya. So recording and production was done in Kenya

    Hey Moos! Thanks a million as always. Whenever I tell people Mara Jazz Band had “Kitenge” Part 1 & 2 they look at me like I’ve been smoking something. Thanks for settling this.
