I just miss the days when such songs would play on those radios that used batteries. Cousins in your grandma's house. Life was good back then. We now live to reminisce on those days. Sadly
Sigalame nilikariri sana jina la wimbo huu, mara kadhaa nilimsikia Mzee wangu akiimba kibao hiki hakika aliupenda sana wimbo. nikisikizapo humkumbuka sana Baba yangu mpendwa Mwenyezi Mungu amrehemu !!.
Wimbo naupenda sana, nakumbuka nilipokuwa nyumbani Tanga, nikifungulia Redio Kenya KBC walikuwa wakicheza sana nyimbo hizi, kwakweli ni raha sana..,🤣🤣🤣🤣
Na je ukiwa Tanga stesheni za Tanzania zilikuwa zinacheza hizi wimbo kama KBC ya Kenya?! Kumbe wakati huwo radio ukiwa Tanzania ilikuwa ikishika stesheni za Kenya vizuri sana enzi hizo?
I've recently fallen in love with this music. The combination of rhythm, harmony and the beautiful meter of the language paints a beautiful picture. Now...if only I spoke Swahili.....
Oh dear E. Obega @kbc, Infact ihad wanted to know if you are well a couple of years ago!! Igrew up with your Music in the mid.70`s. You used to air from 6am this "Jam" feauturing "Millie Jackson and Teddy pendergrass, Songs like "It hurts so good,Loving arms, If you are not back in love by monday, I was 16yrs öld by then!! I left Kenya 35 years ago and feel like crying when i listen to These Music. You were so great.How is Elizabeth Omollo doing??? Sweet home!!! Regards from Germany.
I like such zilizopendwa hits. Very nice. Lakini who can get us Zainabo by Issa Juma? That nostalgic song goes thus: Nitafanya nini mama, juu yako Zainabo. Fanya hima urudi mama, mie mwenzio nateseka...

For your information, this is a true story. Sigalame existed and no one knew what he was doing. He was the wash wash person of those days. Compare sigalame to the rich guys whom you never knew what they did for a living. Source have it he was smuggling things into and out of the country through the border. It's a true story.
it is said that sigalame was a coffee smuggler at the now ghost border town of Chepkube at the Kenya-Uganda border. The roots of the easy money culture in kenya
It's also said that he got mad rich from coffee smuggling at chepkube and eventually fell in love with mama hersi. Funny this is that he lost all his money to the said lady. 😂
He actually got rich from dubious coffee deals from Ugandan farmers who couldn't export their coffee due to a sanction during the Idi Amin era. Chepkube was a prominent crime scene in coffee stores around the border.
