May God bless the souls of this wonderful group who have passed on. We'll never have groups like these ever. Orchestre Mangelepa, Bella Bella, Lipua Lipua, Kiam, Kamale Kamale...name them...gone for good. Their music will live forever.
The funniest thing about this whole band 😂😂 it turned out that one of them now has a family member sitting in the presidential office 😅 can someone figure this out 👀 and to the experts here I can assure you that BEBE MUKALA WA MULUMBA wasn’t available here and wasn’t at home either at this same moment 🤷♂️ nilijuaje mzee aliniwachia nyumba 🇰🇪 wakati yye yupo 🇨🇩
I guess Im asking randomly but does anybody know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account?? I somehow lost my account password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me
This is a band that played music ahead of it's time. Listen to earlier hits by Kofi Olomide you will hear a Kabila Kabanze voice/style alike. Great tune's
ruclips.net/video/j3VkUKwZ6DE/видео.htmlsi=WpLADFlN-VJfxuXI Trumpeter and singer, Kai Kai, ended up in South Africa in the early 90s where he recorded "Thank you Madiba". RIP.
Have a memory of Bwamy, the lead guitarist, and me, jamming out the Radio South Africa signal tune ad grinning really guiltily at each other. It as a nice tune so why not?
I am very happy to identify Kabila Kabanze Evani, Kalenga Nzaazi Vivi and Babibanga Watshilumba Kai. I still ask for help to know the sololist, the drummer, the man blowing trumpet with Kai Kai. Also the one leading saxophone and his helpr.Thanks in advance.
I can help in only two areas. The lead saxophonist was Tabu Ngongo. The soloist was Bwamy wa Lumona. The drummer looks like Kasongo Fundi, though I am not sure.
@@georgeodhiambo598 and you can mention too that Bwami was the band leader until he defected. His detection must have created a bitter taste in their mouth because the band subsequently composed the song Dracula apparently in a diss at him
Cool guy Lumwanga mayombo handling both rhythm guitar and bass guitars. I wonder where Moustang Maindusa was even on his own composition MAINDUSA. The industrious Badibanga combining Singing, dancing and playing trombone. Kalenga Nzazi Vivi and Kabila Kabanze Evani as usual on vocals. Bwami permanently on lead guitar. Twikale doing his best on rhythm. Tabu Ngongo knows nothing better than sax. I would have wished to see Kasongo Fundi on drums
my reckoning; kasongo fundi-drums, twikale bass-guitar (exchanging with mayombo rythm), kabila, kalenga and badibanga (vocals), tabu ngongo lead sax, singer luthulu-trombone and le capitaine bwamy-lead guitar. i wonder why luthulu only did the trombone here without singing, probably for screen space purposes?
Sam Ayo: Correction - lutulu never played any instrument. He was and still is a composer and a vocalist. He however did not feature in the original recording of this song neither is he featuring in this show. On trombone (and vocals) is the late Badibanga wa Tshilumba aka Kaikai.
@@saminator43 Yes. Katako mwana Rocky was also a drummer in Mangelepa. He joined much later (mid eighties). He was quite talented as a drummer but not well celebrated. In this live performance that drummer could be Katako mwana Rocky, though he appears to me to be Kasongo Fundi. The photo is not bringing him out clearly. To update upon confirmation.
Thanks for this upload. Looks like this performance was longer than one hour; some songs like Walter performed at this venue are missing on this copy. If you can avail the entire performance, please do so.
Haki band hii ilijua kupanga sauti, vyombo na ata dancing style yao ilikua ya kipee. Bwami wa Lumwoma ni bingwa wa solo gitaa, aii ! wote walikua sawa kabisa. Ok Bwami kaenda sweden kwa sasa, twikale karudi kwao zaire naa...
You are rught. However, in Malawi Zikomo Coco Zigo Mike Almasi Mokomyonyo was with them. In the album you can hear his unique voice singing oh tenga yoh yoh.
@@simenyasikhulu and if I heard it right, the story goes that he was quite stubborn and thought of taking over the lead singer role from Kabanze, ala!!!!???
The one next to the soloist is Kabila Kabanze and next to him is Vivi Kalenga. Next with the red trouser is the late Badibanga wa Tshilumba Kai Kai, who passed on a few years ago.
This was recorded in 1982/83 at the then Zambian Broadcasting Services (ZBS) studio at the Mass Media Complexin Lusaka
We all together enjoying it. Thanks guys for being in the same world, a beautiful world of our own !
those are golden music, Hello. Greetings from Barranquilla - colombia

i was born in 1982. I still remember my late dancing to their music during special occasions. long live their music.
The great Kabila Kabanze , the man with the shaking voices was the best vocalist

Best of the time. Good old days.
Mangelepa garden square nairobi hoiyeèeeee
Good performance from the the evergreen Orchestra Mangelepa. Kudos 👌👍
Badibanga and Tabu Ngongo exchanging pleasantries on Trombone and sax...our own Trio Madjesty without Verkys!
Real music👌... Long live the Mangelepa, their moves are always one of a kind👌😂😂
Viva mangelepa!
I have been looking for this live performance by Mangelepa...! Keep them coming...

@Ameer Ali instablaster ;)
i have seen this group perform at garden squere many times : kwa hivo mimi sina wasi wasi ju nawajua
huyu nani kwa drums?
They played in 1980s when I was a teenager.I remember their music with nastalgia.
This is a band that played music ahead of it's time. Listen to earlier hits by Kofi Olomide you will hear a Kabila Kabanze voice/style alike. Great tune's
Oh those were the days...these guys were in their own league, Les Mangelepa...rhythm guitar and sax until you feel the music in the your veins
Badibanga wa Tsilumba at his best, he controlled the band with his trumpet and his karate moves
Mangelepa sindano ya moto, The king of east Africa rhumba...
Born in the 90's but oh how I wish I was born earlier.....Lord! Asante Mangelepa.
Nothing sounds better than this. Pure niceness!
I like this band a lot!
Jalelo mubangila ngai mulokwe mobutu boyhood song we sung for mobotu
I recall watching this particular programme live on ZBS !!!
Can someone please tell me what became of Timmy Mvula? I remember enjoying “Time for Music” when we lived in Zambia in the 80’s.
Timmy Mvula is late sorry. Time for music went with him to the grave.
Somehow I always knew someone had one of these in their archives. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for this. This is was at Mass media in Zambia. After this visit to Zambia, the band unfortunately split.
I'm watching keep them coming
Great music. It must be preserved
Real talent, real music.
Thanks for that staff
Nice songs and sound

RIP.
What a talent Kai Kai was! RIP
Music that remains more apposite to date.
who has super mazembe live performance.....like the MANGELEPA ABOVE?
Used to go often to their concerts in Nairobi, exceptional fantastic band. You couldn't stand still. Thanks for posting this
It is sad that these talented guys fell into hardship in their latter days !

Golden stuff
When music was arranged for pure entertainment
coco ziko mike's voice is missing in malawi zikomo. Twikale wa Twikale very efficient on rhythm guitar exchanging with Badibanga wa tsilumba.
twikale exchanging guitars with mayombo, not badibanga
Oh sorry. You meant the talking guitar session. My bad
Nice presentation
Sax jamani zanikosha!
keep them coming!!!
Gosh this is Great music! Keep them coming!
52:15 onwards I can listen on rewind endlessly
Correction : Badibanga wa Tshilumba does not play guitar but traumpet. He's Kaikai
Paradise!
Kai Kai (in red track) was no joke!
At 29:30; "Muri bwanji?"
"Tiri bwino....."

isn't that kasongo himself doing the drums?

On that stage was the richest talent ever to grace Kenyan soil, to-date am still a fan by default.

thanks Bwana Odhiambo, sorry i meant the tambourine. it's lutulu on the tambourine in the background to the left, without a doubt
old is gold what about new?
New is coming with new players on the platform.

I take that back: Walter is included in this copy.
Walter is played starting at 45 minutes.

Lutulu Kaniki isn't seen here
I thought he was the guy in the background between Twikale and Mayombo. If not then who is that guy there?
What is the name of the first song?
Maindussa
Can someone play a mangelepa's song called OleOle please
Check RUclips you will get all the music
Where did Maindusa go to?
He went back to Zaire but later passed on.
Beautiful vintage
what is the name of someone with red trouser? Who is someone singing with dread hair?
He was Badibanga wa Tshilumba Kai Kai. He passed on in South Africa a few years ago. And the one with dreadlocks is Kalenga Nzaazi Vivi
