about

Originally writen in Swahili by Willie Mbuende, who was the bassist for Mankala Band (2010 - 2012), the song talks about the love for drums, how we all love the drums and our music... which have no owners. No one can ever be angry with the drums, let us sing and dance and stay up all night...

lyrics

Si situna npenda ngoma
Ngoma yakila situ
Si situna npenda ngoma
Ngoma yetu haina mwisho mama

Si situna npenda ngoma
Karibu karibu tusta rehe
Si situna npenda ngoma
Kila mutuha tafura ile wo

Sensabu Sensabu Sensabu Sensabu Yeh...

Goma Goma Goma ya kiabuga
Goma Goma Goma ya kiabuga
Tu cheze tu imbe goma ya kiabuga
Goma Goma Goma ya kiabuga
Goma Goma Goma ya kiabuga
Goma Goma Goma ya Kiabuga
Tunaharibi shawa tu apalewo
Goma Goma Goma ya Kiabuga

Sisi Sisi Sisi Sisi, Eh mama Eh mama Eh mama Eh mama
Sisi Sisi Sisi Sisi, Eh mama Eh mama Eh mama Eh mama…
