John Ogara - Monica Ondego
from Retracing the Benga Rhythm by Various Artists
about
The artiste praises his first wife, Monica Ondego. He narrates his deep attraction to this girl who he met while on a visit to Kisumu. He fell in love with her only to be told by some that she had already been "spoken for", many times over! Playing his guitar in the middle of the road, Ogara laments the love of his life. Once again, the song worked and he ended up marrying Monica Ondego.
