Great interview. As a founder member of Undugu Societies of Kenya, we wanted to acquire more instruments for our music band. So I contacted one of the cofounders of Lunna Kidi by the name of Emmanuel Otieno, who was my neighbor, and asked him how we could acquire used music equivalents for our musical group. He gave me Kabassele’s phone number, and I informed him about the purpose of my call. He said that Sunday would morning would be okay. John Fox and I left Makadara office, and headed to Jericho estate where he was residing at the time. We knocked at the door and he proply ushered us in without a a smile . I told him that, Emmanuel, one of your former band mates told me that you had some musical equipments you intended to dispose of. Then Kabasseleh asked me what we wanted to pay for the musical equipments. John Fox interjected and asked him what was intending to sell it for. I don’t recall his asking for, and John Fox gavel him a counter offer which I thought was demeaning and racist. Hajullas got up, opened the door and kicked us out of his house. That was the integrity of a a strong African man.

Kabasele is the king in luo music

Combining Journalism with love for history must be the most interesting job in the world.

Very articulate and conclusive! I'm very happy to have the memories of Ochieng Kabaselle back. Thank you mwalimu for providing light where there was darkness, what a show!

The interview is top notch. Very eloquent and lively. Please do a follow up interview on the musicians who were part of the band.

Oyier is a great storyteller.😂

Attended same school Dr Kraph with Ochieng

I just love this guy bana😂😂. Meda uru episode moro😅

Mwalimu Ogolla Oyier, the real guy i knew in early 90s. Very eloquent and articulate with lots of accurate memory. This is very rich and informative interview of putting records right on the Maestro Aljulas Ochieng Nyapanji Ochieng Wuod Ogola. I love this man to the tilt

Great work and thanks very much for bringing us reality.

Great interview

This is well explained... at least I have learnt a lot today

One month later, I meet this and it does not matter the time. I have it now. As a writer, I consider this quite resourceful. Erokamano for this.

Good. Pongezi kwenu. Splendid information from a reliable source.

Good job Kwach. Ive enjoyed the session. I could spend a whole day with oyier and not get bored. A good narrator.

Kipsombe ,l know that place very well! There's a school there called St.Michael Kipsombe,some few kilometres from Soi town

Kabaselleh is still a masterpiece

Very informative.. I like how the man captures everything well

Very resourceful video. But you may have to translate/subtitle sections where Oyier Ogola Adoyo talks in Luo language for the benefit of those who don't understand the language

Inspiring in deed

really enjoyed the interview..the bro has a really really sharp memory flawlessly remembering events,names,people,years..he is a walking repository on benga and rumba as well as on his late bro..i would imagine a book by him or him opening a social media page that is part autobiography,part biography and benga history as he witnessed for reference and study..kudos!

An extremely a good interview with deeper informations given. Am lucky to have acquired more informations pertaining the late legend Ochieng Kabasseleh and done away with the false stories relating to his family background, military and music carrier entirely. Towards the end of the interview, Lingala was just lingalaling in full doze.. Congrats

wow , what a lively story

Lovely rich history of kabasele.

Kindly ask Kabaselle's brother to get me long time music Nyar Alego where he said "nakupenda kama mandazi ya ulaya mama" I need that music badly.
