SAMMY KASULE : ONE OF THE FEW RUMBA STARS FROM KAMPALA
April 28, 2025 - 01:00 PM
It is exactly four years ago today that this writer received a forwarded message on WhatsApp from a Ugandan friend, journalist Jacobs Odongo Seaman, about Sammy Kasule's death. The message came in a few minutes after the death of veteran journalist Philip Ochieng was made public by his family, making that day a black Tuesday.The message read that Ugandan musician Sammy Kasule had died in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Sammy Kasule had fallen sick and was traveling abroad to Sweden to seek treatment, but when the plane stopped in Amsterdam, it was assessed that his condition had deteriorated, necessitating immediate medical attention in the Netherlands. He died a few days later. Kasule Sammy, a......
DIEUDOS DUKI MAKWANZI
March 23, 2025 - 05:20 AM
DIEUDOS DUKI MAKWANZI, the Soloist of Le Noir, Passes Away. Dieudos Duki Makwanzi, the renowned soloist of Le Noir, passed away on March 20 in Brussels, Belgium, where he had been residing. In the early 1970s, he performed with Le Noir in Nairobi, Kenya. The band was led by veteran musician Chuza Kabaselle and was among the few Congolese bands that returned to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) intact, unlike many others that either remained abroad, disbanded, or disintegrated. In addition to Chuza Kabaselle, who played the congas, Le Noir featured other notable musicians, including Negro Sax veteran Beya Maduma and Amba Zozo, who also played with Negro Success. According to Alastair......

THE ATIA JOKE
September 26, 2024 - 05:20 PM
ATIA, MAMA ANAKUITA I had previously asked here why Atia Jo, the Super Mazembe legendary bassist was also known by the sobriquet 'mama anakuita'. I've just called the only surviving of the Super Mazembe legends, Bua Mangala aka Loboko Passie, and he gave a long hysteric laughter before responding. Apparently, the question evoked nostalgic memories of their days. His response was that women naturally hunt musicians and there was a specific one who was madly attracted to Atia Jo, and he kept pestering him even while on stage. She kept sending emissaries who delivered the message "Mama anakuita" very frequently. It came to be a joke within the band, everyone chiding Atia,......
HOW JOSKY FOUND HIS SINGING EQUILIBRIUM
September 08, 2024 - 04:12 PM
JOSKY KIAMBUKUTABy The Monk Josky Kiambukuta, who died on March 7, 2021, in a clinic in Ngaliema, found his musical home at Franco's OK Jazz (OKJ) after two stints with Nico’s African Fiesta Sukisa in the late 1960s and Orchestre Continental in 1971 and 1972. Sampling three songs he performed, one with each of the three bands, clearly shows why OKJ was his ultimate musical home. The first song is Orchestre Continental’s "Mama na Nicole," a composition by Bopol Mansiamina dedicated to his girlfriend. Josky sings lead vocals, backed by Wuta Mayi. The second song is "Bolingo ya Sens Unique," his own composition with African Fiesta Sukisa in 1969, performed as a solo. The......
