Kiseru

[Budspencer]

This is a song by the late D O Misiani. To be honest, today was the first time I've listened to it. However, nimeaibika kiasi. Was in a dingy joint in downtown Lome with two elderly buddies. One local and the other from Cote D'ivoire(they slam you when you say Ivory Coast). Corona is fiction huku so we were sipping good stuff in this pub as we listened to good ol' rhumba when this song came on. Kila mtu alikimbia dance floor and twisted their waists like there was no tomorrow. Afterwards, they came back and asked me why I didn't like the song yet it was from Kenya. I was dumbstruck. Sijawai skia hii kitu. I told them nimezoea hainibambi tena just to cover my shame. Kuingia youtube napata kwanza southern africa ndio wanaipenda zaidi especially Zimbabwe. Who has ever heard of this song hapa kijiji wadau?

Have heard it. Didn't understand nothing. It's funny that I also heard it in a dingy joint too in Limuru...transplants working at Bata danced to it like there was no tomorrow too.

I heard it in a dinghy pub in Kibera about 17 years ago

Mimi niking'ang'ana kujifunza muziki ya waafrika nikaland kwa Zimbabwe. Huko wako na sungura na dendera ya akina Alick Macheso na wengine. Wale watu wanafunga muziki, sio jokes.

Kwa lesson moja jamaa fulani anaitwa Mono Mukundu akipeana history akisema this is a direct copy of what Kenyans were producing nikajishika tama na kujawa na aibu.

I went digging ndio nijifunze zaidi. The genre is even named after some producer who became an MP huko Nyanza.
