"Mali Haina Mwenyewe" - Henry Misango (1967) 🇰🇪 Kenyan Omutibo Guitar

The Radio label seems to be a sublabel of Charles Worrod's Equator Records, launched in 1960 from the acquired remains of East African Records - which owned the Jambo label. I bought this record "as is" from a seller who warned me that the disc was cracked from the edge to the label. I stabilized and repaired the crack (you can see some of my glue to the upper left of the label) well enough that I was able to get a decent transfer from it. Henry Misango was a fingerstyle guitarist who played in the Omutibo style popularized by George Mukabi. After Mukabi's untimely death in 1963, several Kenyan guitarists continued to play in this style - including Henry Misango, Herbert Misango, William Osale, Humphrey Eshitool, Peter Opwaka and Fanuel Ami- mo. The title of this song translates as "Wealth Has No Owner”. Recorded in Nairobi, Kenya circa 1967. Released as Radio RA 65.
