    This is a second "pressing" of the earlier song. There is a "sebene" fragment - an interplay of two guitars - that was added to the final chorus, and I removed the shameless evidence of the MIDI countdown. My sync methods are as old as time...;-))

    Story Behind the Song
    This song was written in the year that Kenyans had a genuine chance to determine their political future through the ballot, an opportunity that they shamefully let pass. It pleads with the Kenyan people to refuse to be divided in their search for true independence. For the third time (after losing out in 1997), we are on the eve of such an oppurtunity againg, with polls on December 27, 2002. Third time lucky?

    Lyrics
    MKENYA MWENZANGU

    Mkenya mwenzangu
    Nipe dakika tano
    Songea karibu
    Unigawie mzigo wako
    Tuzungumze pamoja
    Tutafute u-elewano

    Historia yetu
    Dhahiri yatuonyesha
    Mwaka sitini na tatu
    Kenya huru ilikuwa moja
    Wazalendo walipigania
    Amani na madaraka

    Wazo hili ni langu
    Nikikosa, nisahihishe
    Sababu ni tatu
    Zitumazo tutenganishwe
    Ni wivu, chuki, ukabila
    Adui haswa za umoja

    Oooh,
    Twataka uhuru
    Kila Mkenya ajichagulie
    Mlima shamba hata mvuvi
    Mtoka pwani hadi barani

    Songeni kando
    Zao la pili lituongoze
    Usijaribu kunishtua
    Kura yangu sitaiuza

    Democrasia
    Kila Mkenya ajichagulie
    Mlima shamba hata mvuvi
    Mtoka pwani hadi barani

    Mkenya mwenzangu
    Teua wewe mwenyewe
    Inua roho juu
    Mu-amini Mungu na uombe
    Mapenzi amani na umoja
    Ziangaze nchini daima
