Les Wanyika was a prominent band with
Tanzanian and Kenyan members and was
based in Kenya. It was formed in 1978 when
guitarist Omar Shabani, bassist Tom
Malanga and two other members left Simba
Wanyika . They were joined by John Ngereza
and Issa Juma. Les Wanyika made many
popular recordings, but are best
remembered for their 1979 classic Sina
Makosa and Paulina . Vocalist Issa Juma left
the band soon afterwards to concentrate on
other musical projects. The group continued
until Omar Shabani's death in 1998. John
Ngereza died two years later.
Formation & History:
In 1971, two brothers from the coastal
region of Tanga Tanzania, Wilson and
George Kinyonga formed a band they would
call Simba Wanyika , Swahili for Savannah
Lions. Due to unsteady economic conditions
in Tanzania in the 70s which strained the
music industry, most of the artists of that
time migrated to Kenya and other
neighbouring countries in search of greener
environments. It's no wonder that some of
these artists became citizens of those
countries......
