[PlanckScale]

I have just finished re-ripping all my CDs (about 1300) into a 400gb of .wav files.
So nikapata idea ya kutengeneza listi ya "Nyimbo za taifa"; jina ambalo tuliziita zile nyimbo zilipendwa sana bongo (miaka ya 1978 - 1988). Hizo nyimbo zikipigwa kwenye sherehe, basi kila mtu lazima acheze!

Ndugu, nami nimzalendo kama wewe. Nakubaliana na mtazamo wako. Ila, wakati huo wa 80s nyimbo hizi ndio zilitawala majumba ya mangoma. Lile disco la Biribi pale Seaview walikuwa hawachezi sindimba. So strictly speaking, this is a list of pop music that dominated the times. But look through the list you will find some great African artists/songs, such as:

3. Let me love you (My sweetie) – Bunny Mack (From Sierra Leone),
16. Burn out – Mabuse, 1985 (South African)
19. I'm in Love With a DJ - Yvonne Chaka Chaka, 1985 (South African)
25. Sweet Mother - Prince Nico Mbarga, 1978 (Nigerian).
34. Brigadier Sabari – Alpha Blondy (Ivory Cost)
36. Zanzibar - Mabuse, 1985 (South African)


Na hawa nduguzetu walioko diaspora ni ngozi yatako tuu kama sisi :

11. Sugar Bum Bum – Lord Kitchener (??)
20. Reggae Nights – Jimmy Cliff, 1983
24. Could you be loved, – Bob Marley & the Wailers, 1980
26. Buffalo Soldier – Bob Marley & the Wailers, 1983
32. Girlie Girlie: Sophia George, 1985
35. Don't turn Arround – Aswad, 1989
39. Lagos Jump – Third World, 1984
49. Pass the Dutchie – Musical Youth, 1982

 

[Sometimes]

Ongeza na zile za Zaire kama Lipua lipua, Shama shama, Grand pizza, Orch.Kiam, Zaico langalanga, Veve, OK jazz, Afrisa Internationale. Pia usisahau za Mbaraka Mwishehe, Nuta Jazz, Kilwa Jazz, Western Jazz n.k.

Kweli mkuu, kama ile nyimbo ya Les wanyika "sina makosa", iliwika sana tuu. Japo sio kwenye madisco, lakini kila kwenye maharusi na minuso (yaani party) ilichezwa sana.
