Kanda Bongo Man - Muchana (Live At the Emperors)

[@Cotyledonous]

For some of us, it is the beat, the rhythm session and the bass line that make this song so memorable. The bass line is best enjoyed over your ear or headphone or on a good stereo system. The melody is nice but it's just one line being repeated the whole time. This is a rare song that became popular even though the melody is just one single line sung without variation!!!

[@AtabongMillie]

To be an African is a blessing! This was our lullabies.

[@bridgetmunjoma6479]

What's this man's rating in African music? I haven't seen a single track from him that's not sweet and danceable. He should be among the best 10 African musicians of all times.

[@rosekatongo6854]

I second

Trust me he went viral in every part of Africa, both the country and in the cities. Before the internet.

[@abduhassan3814]

Kanda Bongoman sings from the heart and his music deepens one's mood and transfixed one's memories with a bitter sweet aura. Not song one forgets in a hurry. A very authentic African song.

When I was a child every time I hear this song on radio I get so excited. I’m Ghana at that time my step dad normally fix the radio on Radio Gold and they played it almost every morning. It really sparked my creative engine. Today I’m listening to it with so many memories to reminisce on. I now have a family and it makes me feel time wasted for no man. Can someone explain it to me.
