Grand Piza - Mwana Mawa

[@ericnyambu8788]

Sweet memories of the 70s

[@beatriceoliech9452]

The hit was so famous, was still in my primary school but I like it to date, I mastered the lyrics withouts understanding a word, in my second year in secondary school my first bf lured me into his arms with song. Thanks grand piza

[@ogana_M]

Grand Pizza released this hit mwana mawa along with mandalala while I was in Primary school in Nairobi way back in 1976. Their instruments were awesome.

Now we are talking Mwana Mawa, this was the revolution of the Congolese music in Tanzania! Nyamagana, 1979!

[@alfredchidamisolo.]

Grand Pizza had a very special dance style which was not Rhumba..but Kavacha...Oooh yes...used to kill me..'73,'74...Nilikua katini. 14..yrs Central Primary School, Kitale..Wapi Zevi, Wataka , Opinda , Kilonzo., Ochieng Wolly...Manzi by then, Adolina Mwombeki..!!!!..Wacha tu...🎻🎻🎤

My sister (RIP) had just bought me my first pair of long trousers (Bell Bottoms) and under wear from her second salary as Untrained Teacher (UT). I went for a disco . Clocks never rewind. Life was easy, full of fun.

[@amumamkala7073]

Clocks don't rewind] You my remind of my Daddy as that Headmaster when in class 1 and my Mother asking her about a newly posted lady teacher in a red trouser,,,

Mwana mama reminds me those days In Eastland loving music , young with those dancing mode lol. Reminds my late freind Julius .still loves it

[@ogetoj6245]

Mwana Mawa by Grand Pizza was the in thing vibe in 70's, revibrating the entire disco world. No apologies were made for frustrating the efforts to draw the attention of the short guys. Turn up bell-bottoms were the jinx. Kavacha was the style - quite intimidating!! Time heals. Dr. Ogeto International

[@samueljakiira1]

"Kila nini tokabwana,yo Zairois ngai mpe Zairoise." This song is a plea for an end to tribalism.A girl wants to get married to someone from a different tribe,and people,are opposed to it,so she is saying,"We might be from different ethnicities,but you are a Zairen, and I'm a Zairean too." Great song,great message.

Grand Piza!!! Can't ask for more... I remember I used to sing this song "off head" when I was in high school. Sweet nostalgia.

[@lillowere632]

You can still sing it off head. You dont forget words to a favorite song. I haven't heard it since the 70s but when I did all the words were still there.

[@bwambalewilson4201]

I sang it as a senior 1 boy in Uganda. Nostalgia oh my school days.

[@mugishajohnmary8260]

This number makes remember when Amins soldiers was busy slotering the Langi and the Acholis

[@christopherkinyera1835]

Become an orphan as a result of the ruthless killings by the illiterate dictator. I'm glad that some people like you are still there to remind them

[@ogana_M]

@@christopherkinyera1835 .Let us just say the ruthless dictator was semi literate, because he used to address the OAU (Organization of African Unity) which is the AU today and other gatherings in English though his English was not so good.

[@philipokoth3132]

Your comments really give me joy; that my generation is existing somewhere; such nostalgic preserved history is spookilly lonely. Humans were designed to share common passions.

[@trayphonepius7605]

Bw. Darubini! I personally appreciate your work which actually take back in those years. It is my observation that you could put on your introductory part, at least some of the Musicians who took part in a particular song. Example I remember the one Called Makengo Roy who actually was a leader of this group.

[@Darubini2]

Unfortunately I do not always have details on the bands. However, more often than not, other viewers/listeners submit comments that contain more information on the bands or musicians. You may have to scroll down and read most of the posts to glean information you may be interested in. Many of the songs I have came to me in digital format, 45s or tapes. Generally only the LPs will contain details.
