" One song, one artist, same tune, all that time? Actually thats the beauty and grasping oomf of any good song.. For a song to be a hit, a good producer will know that there needs to be a continuous beat all through. at the climax it only changes octanes (or notation) but still the same beat.. and with a memorable chorus to go.. Listen to all evergreens.. that beat at the background and a phrase you can always chant to.. Psychologically i think its something that the brain easily latches onto... hence the mystery of music

I will definately look out for these. My young kids don't get what is wrong with me but I catch repeating songs as they play so I feel less enjoying the past!

I'll stop on my next trip. I found Franco on Amazon but $85 is way too much for a CD! Thanks for the suggestions Rankaz13 wrote: kendata26 wrote: mawinder wrote: the old music is real good...As you age you start to appreciate good music....and YES....you are growing OLD..... lwambo lanzo makiadi,madillu,tsbu ley,sam mangwana,tu ac,notorious big,mase etc. Thanks Mawinder. I'm hunting for Franco's Bina na Ngai na Respect but so far no success. I may need to trick my old man out of his VERY old copy next time I see him...... There's a shop, shortl after Tom Mboya/Ronald Ngala streets junction on the left hand side ukitembea towards Haile Selassie avenue that may have the same. I happened to pop-in there while unsuccessfully hunting for the said gramophone and I saw they have some of that. They also supply some gramophone 'consumables' e.g stylus. Shop name is Melodica.

Rank: Elder Joined: 12/27/2012 Posts: 2,256 Location: Bandalungwa		I have been listening to TP OK Jazz and Afrisa my whole life. But I am always shocked when I find songs I havent heard before. This year I discovered the classic song Bisengambi by Josky, released in 1979. I had listened to the newer version of Bisemgambi which was released in the late 1990s. But this is one rare occassion where the original version is better.
