HM Karuiki - Kwini Maratati
from Retracing Kikuyu Popular Music by Various Artists
about
A love song in praise of the beauty whom he met one fateful night, fell madly in love with and yearned to see again by the light of day. his unique mastery of the accordion has come through hard work he says, and he reminds those who listen to his songs to pay for his services so that he can take care of himself and his family. As his saying goes, he reminds his listeners: 'A donkey cannot sleep when it is hungry'.
