Moses 'Mozaya' Omondi - Wambuza
from Spotlight on Kenyan Music Vol.3 by Various Artistes
about
Mozaya's love for singin started at St Lukes church choir in Nakuru. His mother, who was a choir member at the church, has been his greatest inspiration. Mozaya performed regularly in small clubs from 2003 to 2005 when he started a small shoe shop. Now he practices his music in his spare time, He finds Oliver Mtukudzi a great inspiration and aspires to become an ambassador of African traditions through music. His Luo song 'Wambuza' tells of the woes of an alcoholic.
lyrics
Webusa, ibropodho kwangala
Joge akweri sangna, mine ma tan'go
Wambuza, webusa sangna
Joge akweri sangna nine ma tan'go
Gimi-chamo sangna, giro ber olor eich sangna
Pod ober to gima aukoro sagna
Kori imer Iwuotho an'gaya wambuza
Piny oyuso ni
Wambuza igweyo ni sajni wan'ge o-oure
Ni piny jilimo buche Piny oyuso ni
Wambuza ni mbithi odak etyang aora
To ok on'geyo mit Piny oyuso ni
Wambuza ma mon ton'go gi le
Chuo to oluoro ka le Piny oyuso ni
Wambuza booze oketho laki
Ki-ihamo iwenge buyi Ping oyuso ni
Ah-hh chesky wanvyza Hos, hos, hos, hos....
Wambuza tera mos nyaka Nairobi
Dipo ka abedo hepi

Joge akweri sangna, mine ma tan'go

Joge akweri sangna nine ma tan'go
Gimi-chamo sangna, giro ber olor eich sangna
Pod ober to gima aukoro sagna
Kori imer Iwuotho an'gaya wambuza
Piny oyuso ni
Wambuza igweyo ni sajni wan'ge o-oure
Ni piny jilimo buche Piny oyuso ni
