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.

Wow.....takes me way back in time, when our mums were so young and we were so little, when we weren't aware so much hatred and evil existed amongst us
ENZI zile ? We. acha tu ! Dunia yetu ilikuea na ungwana. Beautiful !
Listening to this from Federated States of Micronesia and it makes me miss home (Kenya)
When music was real...you could feel it even when you don't understand the language
If you were born in 80s and early 90s, you can't hate these songs your parents loved them and played in the national broadcasting station a million times, nostalgic 😩😩
My dad s favourite.nrip dad
I enjoyed it in seventies and eighties.
Uhuru Park inn and garden square KICC . Good old days.
I am quite perplexed at how rich the song have become to my ear.
Very true
Haki niwo

Ekei pamba - has been in vain
Motema moto moto - my heart is on fire
Mabala ya bomwana - childish marriages
Eleki makambo - are full of problems
Bampasi nakomona - i'm in such pain
Nalembi kobondela - i'm weary of asking for help

Nameka kopesa mokongo - i try to turn my back at it
Namemi ngambo - it's an uphill struggle (literally: i've carried a mountain)

Has a chilling effect on me. Childhood is the best.... no frills. Yes, more so if you grew up in Eastlands like me. Dancing mangelepa dance and mokonyonyo - skonyo steps
Africa is the place to be😊
This band used to entertain us at the Uhuru Park Club in the mid 70s ❤ sweet memories ❤😂

Remembering my dad. How life was good early 90s
I was so young. It was my late dad's times favorite.
Reminds me of how black and white life was...so sweet
Grew up with this band in Nairobi in the 70s and attended their shows. Very sentimental. They did a powerful song for President Moi
12yrs ago I used to shade tears of the memories this song came along with but guess what, yes you're right I'm still shading tears of nostalgia... Long live our legends and the great music we have... May God bless us akih.
I used to listen to this band because of the undying love my mom(RIP) had on this kinda music.. Am 28 and it brings back good old memories..
Fantastic. I did listen to this many years ago around 1974.
Love song so mocher mangelepa. The old is gold🙏🙏🎸🎺
my parents used to dance to these songs during Christmas parties in the late eighties.
1974 our dad used to force us to carry small bags of coffee to cross swamps to the Indian coffee stores by then, we could go back home with salt. RIP mum & dad and my young brother as well. Greetings from Rio de Jan, BRA.
Great music I never heard about them, but so far I enjoyed it. A shout out from (South America) Suriname 🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷.

@@leomamaputsoemm
Grew up listening to this song...miss my dad so very much
I remember them from when I was a kid late 70s & early 80s,we lived on the same street in Nairobi (Nairobi West's Kodi road).We'd go behind the house they lived & did rehearsals & peep through the fence. Fantastic time, another legendary band also lived nearby,Les wanyika.
Nice to hear this those were good old days we could go behind the hall that's Simba club magadi peep through the window just to hear or see they played live band
Golden voice, graceful and beautiful even after so many years.... nyako help me very fast 😆😆😆
Prototype connoisseurs & maestros of East African rhumba…their fame transcended borders internationally! This popular mellow tune has evoked such fond & vivid memories of yesteryear in my newly independent republic of Zim 🇿🇼❤️❤️❤️!
Depuis ma Côte d'Ivoire, natale. Merci beaucoup pour la musique kenyanne. Merci pour la musique africaine.
Reminds me always of my late brother Neville Kambu dozing down under his feet listening to that music was a young by then.. music Wil never die..rip your old age team if still alive.
I got the right RUclips channel. It quenches my thirst for music
When life was so good and meaningful, when the world was young and tough daddy would call mum by name whilst such sweet music played, how meaningful life was then! RIP daddy.
I love them. And I hope one day to play and sing the way they do. I am from Mozambique.
I dont knw what i was searching or looking for,but now here i'm...Am stuck and cant move on!!
When music was music Melodies so fresh
This makes me proud as an African. Pure joy listening to this timeless piece.
The reason why ilove watching and listening to this music,,,is that ,,THEY NEVER SHOW THEIR NAKEDNESS ,LIKE TODAY INDUSTRY...RATHER THEY DRESS DECENTLY...the message is very clear no insults
This brings back the 70s with the maxi dresses, platforms and huge afro in Uganda. Lots of love from the UK 💖
seriously brings back memories this music used to be played at silver springs on weekends and if was audible from kololo my sisters would sneak and go for disco wearing those scotish skirts and platform shoes .iwas still young but i clearly remember .
This was great and still fresh 2022 actually this guys made it 👏
absolutely envy all of you who were there when it was going down. this is absolutely fantastic.
I'm a Brit guy. Was a teacher in Zambia 1973-75.

These guys were young men with bell bottom and high waist trousers in the 70s. I was in my teens. I used to attend there live shows at Garden Square and Park inn. They are now old as I am also in my 60s but still full of energy.
We’d listen to these while on long trips with my family and I was like 5 years old… here I am in 2022 still jamming to this 🔥

Those were the times & the years Nairobi was known as the "City in the Sun." Life was goooooood! Kenyans of all works of life were really nice to one another, including the visitors. It didn't matter who you were or where you were from, Nairobi on Weekends, was the place to be!
Mwaka gani
@@cruizk8183 70's
Very true...... Only those who were bothered by Moi's politics sending people to Nyayo and Nyati house
Ingia uko sahii uongo venye utatolewa macho
Politicians killed all that
Good music by then 😂 I was a teenager visiting major dance halls Nrbi and Msa and Nakuru
I recognise the guitarist, Mr Were... A friend of mine from Kenya ❤❤
Wow,,,I don't know why I love this song so much
I am surprised they’re still alive ! My dad used to play there songs when I was a little boy ( original mangelepa)
Twinkle wa Twikale and, Kabila Kabanze .1978 super hit.
Reminds me kakamega 80s nikiwa college mtc that time
Mangelepa will alwz live 4ever
I WAS ONLY 12YRS BY THEN
reminds me of my two uncle who attended all their shares in Zimbabwean then followed them back up to Zambia were they were also touring and we aptly nicknamed his car 'mangelepa'.
I was in Nai as a young kid, remembering the exile life under IDD AMIN
Living under IDD AMIN and you're still alive in Nai (Most stressful City in the World Currently) now??! The Kenyan must be pushed to pay you some compensation fee!! Why should you suffer that Much as an African who loves *"Nyako konyaa?"* 😂😂

Memories are made of this. Their music will never get old. Les Mangelepa band members were our neighbours at Fort Jesus, Nairobi in the 70's. We would pop in for a chat. They were very popular with the ladies.
Ladies were crushing 😍
