Msondo Ngoma Music Band Mama Kanitupa Official Video

Africa's oldest band Msondo Ngoma Band. Msondo Ngoma Music Band (formerly known as NUTA Jazz Band, renamed Juwata Jazz Band, and then OTTU Jazz Band) is an influential and long-lived Tanzanian muziki wa dansi (Bongo Dansi). Having been established in 1964, it is the oldest active dansi band in Tanzania as well in Africa. The band began in 1964 and was originally named "NUTA Jazz Band", after its sponsor, the National Union of Tanganyika (NUTA), which was the main Tanzanian trade union. In the early years of dansi, the NUTA Jazz Band was very influential both artistically and in terms of financial organization; namely, it was one of the first dansi bands to constitute itself into a "cooperative" of salaried musicians (a model that would become widespread in the 1970s). In the 1960s, NUTA Jazz Band was led by trumpeter-singer late Joseph Lusungu and saxophonist Mnenge Ramadhani, who defined the brass-centered sound of the band. NUTA Jazz Band held its position as one of the major Tanzanian dansi bands throughout the latter half of the 1960s and most of the 1970s. In 1977 it experienced a major change in personnel, with many of its most talented musicians (including Muhiddin Maalim Gurumo and Hassani Rehani Bitchuka) leaving the band to form a new ensemble, Mlimani Park Orchestra. In 1977, the band changed its name to "Juwata Jazz", after the Swahili name of its sponsor (NUTA), Jumuiya ya Wafanyakazi Tanzania. About at the same time, guitarist Saidi Mabera became the new leader of the band. He wrote several of Juwata's hit songs of the 1980s. After Mabera, both Maalim and Bitchuka (who rejoined the band in 1991) became leaders. Muhidini Gurumo is credited with on the major hits of Juwata in the 1990s, Usia kwa watoto. The band changed its name again in 1991 from Juwata Jazz to OTTU Jazz, when the trade union that sponsored it was renamed Organization of Tanzanian Trade Unions. The band is still active as "Msondo Ngoma", performing regularly at the DCC Club in Kariakoo,Dar-es-salaam for example,and is the oldest active dansi band in Tanzania as well as in Africa. This is reflected by its motto baba ya muziki, "father of music". "Msondo Ngoma Music Band" also known as "Baba ya Muziki" means "father of Music" .

[@phakundigervas1360]

David this is very brief, a guy is telling of what he endured after being ditched by his mom and was found,taken care of by neighbours brought up to learn that he is with no tribe, relatives religion and other biological attachment and hence crying of what happened to him.
