Now we know our famous kosongo warthog song was wrongly rendered. We still enjoy that version because it corresponds with the warthog's strong, crazy and unrelenting nature. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Growing up in my uncle home was amazing. No mistreatment, no child abuse, educated in high boarding schools, loved by my Aunty (late now).l lived like their own biological child. Rest in peace😢 Uncle Emerson Siamai and your wife Aunty Rona Mukosha Siamai. You will be surely resurrected-Rev 21:4

Superrrr Mazembeeee with Kasongo at the Nairobi ASK showground in the early 80's, Garden Square and Starlights (now Integrity) were really a great band and a hit song. Heko to the living band members and may the late ones rest in eternal peace.
These is the original, kasongo wa kanema had not joined the band by then, kasongo at these time was the rhytem guitar player-kasongo songoley songoley-a very humble man-rest in peace
@@SabaAbas-n2j Kulikua na Kasongo Wa Kanema na Kasongo Songoley.Wakati huu wimbo ulipotoka,Kasongo Wa Kanema alikua hajajiunga na Mazembe,alikua na Orch.Bwambe Bwambe,akitokea kwa Baba National ya Baba Gaston.Wakati huo wote Kasongo Songoley alikua yuko Mazembe.Na huu wimbo sio Original version.Natumai umeelewa
Kasongo Translation: a wife appealing to Kasongo, an estranged husband, to return to his matrimonial home. She says that whenever she sits in the house her eyes are usually on the road, looking out for Kasongo. Her children constantly ask her to say when dad Kasongo will return. She has no answer to give to the children.
I was doing form two in kitwe at mukuba secondary living chimwemwe Zambia we lived near a tarven this song played everyday. I miss my friend Moses Tembo
Young people you missed, those golden days. Time of peace, and bliss. I remember the juke boxes. You could literally, own the juke box, as long as you put in coins mindlessly.
WHY "KASONGO" WAS COMPOSED. His real name was Kasongo wa Kanema, died 2 years ago and buried at Lang'ata Cemetery..... “Kasongo” has been trending but few know the story behind the song. "Kasongo" was done by the band Super Mazembe, a congolese band that moved to Kenya in 1974. The band members had gone to visit their friend Kasongo in Eastleigh, Nairobi. On reaching his house, they met Kasongo’s wife and they asked her if he was at home. Kasongo’s wife welcomed them and told them that she had not seen Kasongo for days. Back then, there was no internet and it was rare to find someone who owned a phone. They decided to send him a message through music, hoping it would reach him. The Super Mazembe members started creating a song for Kasongo in his living room, telling him to come home because his wife is worried and she’s looking for him but can’t find him. They went on to record the song and, as they say, the rest is history. Here are the lyrics: KASONGO - ORCHESTRE SUPER MAZEMBE [Chorus] Kasongo ye yeee, mobali na ngai [Kasongo my husband] Kasongo nga nawe oo [Kasongo I am dying] Zonga libala ee [Come back to the marriage] x2 Kasongo yo yo, mobali na ngai [Kasongo my husband] Kasongo nga nawe oo [Kasongo I am dying] Zonga libala ee [Come back to the marriage] [Chorus] Nga na ndako Kasongo [While in the house, Kasongo] Miso na nzela [Constantly staring at the street] Soki okozonga dia ee [If you will ever return] Yebisa nga ye ee [Let me know dear] [Chorus] Libala na ndako Kasongo [in this kind of marriage] Batunaka ngai [They are busy interrogating me] Tata azali wapi ee [Where is the father] Naloba nini ee [What do I say] [Chorus] [instrumental] Chorus X2 Kasongo yo yo, mobali na ngai [Kasongo my husband] Kasongo nga nawe oo [Kasongo I am dying] Zonga libala ee [Come back to the marriage] [chorus] Nga na ndako Kasongo [While in the house Kasongo] Miso na nzela [Constantly staring at the street] Soki okozonga dia ee [If you will ever return] Yebisa nga ye ee [Let me know dear] [Chorus] Libala na ndako Kasongo [In this kind of marriage] Batunaka ngai [They are always questioning me] Tata azali wapi ee [Where is the father] Naloba nini ee [What do i say] [Chorus] [instrumental] [Tempo] ends
In 2024, there is an interesting "rebirth" of this golden oldie in Kenya. 😂 There are hundreds of memes in circulation with character called kasongo. The composers should perhaps do a follow up song on this development without necessarily being political...until kasongo comes back.
My mum died in 1975 when I was just 5 years old when L, ORCHESTRA SUPER MAZEMBE BAND was just one year since they moved from ZAIRE. This song single was released in 1980 . I remember the band was in kapsabet show when we tried to peep thru' majamvi that were used to fence their wall as they played. Nilitandikwa na mtu to vacate the place since I was just 10 years old,a minor to attend such shows. So I taken to watch a statue of arap chumba at Kenya forest service stand. My uncle's Rashid Mwashi radio Philips used to play this song kwa sauti kubwa.
mazembe band was based in zambia before it relocated to kenyan.the band leader nashil pitchen kazembe was a zambian musician whose group comprised artistes from zambia 🇿🇲 and zairea (as congo dr 🇨🇩 was known then).when the group relocated to kenya it took on some kenyan artistes too,you can call it a pan african band of its time. this hit song,kasongo,was composed by katele one of the zambian musicians in the group.

Orchestra Super Mazembe was a Congolese band based in Kenya playing Lingala (Soukous) music. Congolese music is huge in Kenya even today because a lot of their artists came to record music in Kenya from the 1960s to the 90s, and quite a few even lived in Kenya. That's why you can hear songs like Nakei Nairobi, by Mbilia Bel etc. The Zambian artist Nashil Pichen Kazembe also lived a large part of his life in Nairobi, along with fellow Zambians Peter Tsotsi and Benson Simbeye.

So sweet but the original one remains the very best to have come from Super Mazembe band!
I don't understand what he's saying, but I like the song "Ksungo". All respect to the original owner of the song from Sudan.🇸🇩
WHY "KASONGO" WAS COMPOSED.
His real name was Kasongo wa Kanema, died 2 years ago and buried at Lang'ata Cemetery.....
“Kasongo” has been trending but few know the story behind the song.
"Kasongo" was done by the band Super Mazembe, a congolese band that moved to Kenya in 1974. The band members had gone to visit their friend Kasongo in Eastleigh, Nairobi.
On reaching his house, they met Kasongo’s wife and they asked her if he was at home.
Kasongo’s wife welcomed them and told them that she had not seen Kasongo for days.
Back then, there was no internet and it was rare to find someone who owned a phone. They decided to send him a message through music, hoping it would reach him.
The Super Mazembe members started creating a song for Kasongo in his living room, telling him to come home because his wife is worried and she’s looking for him but can’t find him.
They went on to record the song and, as they say, the rest is history.
Here are the lyrics:
KASONGO - ORCHESTRE SUPER MAZEMBE
[Chorus]
Kasongo ye yeee, mobali na ngai
[Kasongo my husband]
Kasongo nga nawe oo
