Originally from the Swahili-speaking part of Eastern Congo, Les Mangelepa have released more than 13 albums and penned some of East Africa’s best-loved songs. The band was formed as an offshoot of Orchestre Baba National of Baba Gaston, which first arrived in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania in 1972 and soon started recording with the Tanzania Film Company and another label called Sindimba. In 1973 they boarded an OTC bus to Nairobi to record.
Once in the Kenyan capital, after playing for some time with Baba Gaston at the Inn on the Park restaurant at Uhuru Park and composing 'Kakolele Viva Christmas', the talented youngsters abandoned their mentor and formed Orchestre Les Mangelepa in 1976. Their name comes from 'Mangelepa', a dance that had been invented by founding member Kabanze Evany while still in Gaston's band.
The group's growing popularity in Kenya attracted other Congolese bands and before long there was cut-throat competition in Nairobi between Les Mangelepa, Les Kinois, Super Mazembe, and Viva Makale. Their ongoing success is testament to the influence of Congolese music on Kenya’s music scene, particularly in terms of. They were at the centre of the East Africa Rumba sound, in contrast to the Congolese soukous that dominated African pop music in the 1980s and 90s.
Orchestre Les Mangelepa have thrilled fans throughout the region - including Zambia, Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania - by churning out hits such as ‘Embakasi’, ‘Maindusa’, ‘Walter’ and ‘Safari ya Mangelepa’. Their brilliant arrangements and superbly crafted songs have kept legions dancing to their beat, aided by guitars, brass and vocal harmonies.

Wakenya wenye tuliokuwepo just like👍We enjoyed the beats💗💗💗💗
Down the memory lane. That nostalgic feeling when I remember my late Papa who would always tune in to 'idhaa ya Kiswahili' and this song would play not once, not twice.....
The days of the likes of Omuga Kabisaye, Jacob William Maunda... All late.
Good songs.........muziki za adhuhuri na Charles Omuga Kabisaye........Old good days
Akupendaye amependezwa nawe, usimchukulie fala kamwe
Back in year 1999 l was sent home for singing this song while class 8 were doing their exam.
These are days when music was meant for entertainment not business as it is today, les mangelepa have a blessed generation
Mangelepa should perform in Kenya, we need some good old music to remind us how its done
Am i the only one feeling an electric movement in the body when beats plus the lead guitar takes off........................Still listening on
This reminds me when I was a street boy in kisumu... But God is faithful
Kennedy Obunaka amen, did you dance to this a lot?
Amen
God is great!

Our God is a Mighty God
With this Taratibu songs,everyone has something to remember.
Love this song...mmmwah...🥰
This song is a blessing. Used to calm me very well in the evenings after a tiring day at work doing farm work from 7am to 6pm. It still does. I could listen to this among other such songs on a small transistor radio on KBC Radio Taifa. The quality of sound did not matter at all. May your generations be blessed, Les Mangelepa
Our dads made these songs memorable to those who still have dad's may they live long and those that are departed rest in peace

Good to listen to old music from 1974, to remember when where fresh in the country.
This song reminds me of one 5:59 6:05 kamba girl that I loved soo much 2011 was a great year indeed REST IN ENTERNAL PEACE MUENI
Safi safi saaafiii kabisa,,,hebu skia hiyo "kibuchi", , ,,moto sana,,,nostalgic of high level, I remember Jacob William Maunda, he was fond of playing this song,,those damn days

This suzanna thing so touching... am not of those days but truly the song is matured by itself👌❤💯
It reminds me of a lady I really loved. Dropped all the rest hoping to marry her only for her to get a another man. Those days of writing letters. It really broke my heart 29 years down the line. I wouldn't forget. "Mwanadamu hupenda anayemdangaya eee....."

This song reminds me when we could hardly afford a meal.....my mom didnt give up!
and we can afford to smile today because we overcame
Times we pass brother, God is caring, all the same, here we are. Life is full of struggles but we still enjoy it. May the spirits of our parents rest in peace!
Brings back memories of the 70s in Nairobi though I preferred Bana Ngenge and Les Kinois (Bana Kin) because of their fast tempo soukous.
Ohh The great mangelepa vocalists led by kabila kabanze,kalenga nzazi vivi &lutuli kanicky,oh golden good old days.
Wow..this song was in my head the whole morning and I swore to search for it.. so happy I finally got it..
My first love Cecelia 1996 tukiwa class one pale kibos Primary school kisumu where are you dear ama ulikufa 😢😢
Good old days ago ❤❤reminds me of my late dad and his Kinanda loved it
For those a bit older, This band played at Uhuru Park . There was a restaurant there and they were a daily fixture all the way to the late 80s. Beautiful music ,great band.
Stayed in a hotel, used to walk through Uhuru park to get to Nairobi - in the 80's - good times!
Old good songs
Oh, Les Mangelepa! 40 years on and still feels fresh! Fresh..fresh! This is so timeless I swear! And that guy on drums..that's exactly what happens when passion meets talent! This is huge! Kudos Kabila Kabanze and co..
This is when music was music for the discerning
Revellers used to dress up in their best attire I grew up listening to this music and we had our local bands who imitated this brand of music
It was like a religion
I remember my good friend Elisha Josamu a talented lead guitarist player (may his soul rest in eternal glory) who used to teach me how to play the guitar
This music is a masterpiece that you can sway to all night with no sweat
My parents also loved it although they were not happy for me to persue a musician life
i like this
So this masterpiece kept ringing in my head. Had to come back
Evening time is only on this earth even God Himself knows it for music after work or at 3pm down to 8pm music
I truly love this song .... ..to me it was just a discovery finding it on RUclips. Fare thee well Legend!
What a lovely piece of music, these are unforgettable songs
The most brilliant band ever. Just great
The guy on drums is lit.I can listen to this many times over
yeah, the drummer is simply on point!
I wish I could translate this song to our brothers and sisters attending this festival. Beautiful Beautiful Song
I also wish to know the meaning and the lyrics
