We can comfortably say it with no fear of contradiction that Jimmi is the father of modern day Pop music,,

[@jmwanyumba]

Jimmi Gathu, remaster the song, it's still relevant NTSA & AKI should come through

[@Muthonie]

Andrew Crawford was instrumental in founding Benga music in Kenya. He picked musicians from East Africa including Congo and mixed musical flavours and created the sounds we hear sounding like them mushrooms etc. He produced songs for the Bata shoeshine boys who were huge back in the day. They did the vitimbi theme song. My uncle was their drummer. They performed across Africa and on their last tour performed for Haile Selassie and proceeded to the Netherlands and became the current Ashanti band. Such a story!

I can't believe i still recall the words to the song. Jimmi, you are a legend!!

[@katekibugi7401]

Can't believe this was sang by Jimmy and his crew........ Wow its giving New edition, MJ vibes..... AWESOME ❤❤❤

[@AggiesVine]

Literally glued watching this Icon Jimmi on CTA. This song needs to be digitally remastered and done again for this generation to understand just who Jimmi Gathu is. Like seriously Jimmi. Redo this, like how MJ' s We are the World was redone for Haiti. I'd love to what can be done with this master piece. Classic and timeless

[@anthonywahome1682]

This Matatu song reminds me of Yvonne Chakacha's early songs. Production ilikuwa ya majuu and they sounded like Americans

[@joenjiriri4878]

Jimmi. Thanks for your story, watu wa mtaa must be enjoying the nostalgia. You have done well. God bless you.

[@oduorotieno8332]

Whoah! Suzanne kibukosya? Mum to Marcus Kibukosya of Camp Mulla? You can't make this stuff up!

[@Wanairobi]

The nostalgia I have experienced watching "Stay Alive" is surreal. I was a young kid in primo when it came out.

[@iNduati]

[@javesamson8130]

I watched this video for the first time 2 yrs ago and it happens that I was in a creative process of writting this song kzbin.info/www/bejne/moe5pJd4nMqCsKMsi=qI1ZAaiKiYbRsTpR and I think I was researching alot on the NEW JACK SWING genre coz thats what I was aiming for as a sound to my song and STAY ALIVE was prompted by the algorithm I guess and it now gave me the affirmation that I have all it takes to approach this genre coz I've seen my hero Jimmi do it so....am greatful that Jimmi is always doing what he has to do and inspire us to just do it! Also, not Jimmi pulling a Bobby Brown😂😂 in that outfit...I bet that was his great inspiration...also, the music itself is heavily influenced by 'BACK TO REALITY' BY SOUL II SOUL.
