专辑简介
Golden Sounds saxophonist and bandleader, Twahir Mohamed, has been a part of the Nairobi music scene since his arrival in 1984 from Tanzania. Twahir hooked up with Samba Mapangala and Orchestra Virunga and played with the group over most of the groupa�?s active years in Nairobi. After Virunga disbanded in the early 90s, Twahir joined forces with Shabani Dogo Dogo (d. 1999) in Bora Bora Sounds. In fact, Bora Bora became the backing band for Samba when he toured the United States and Europe in 1996. Later that same year, Twahir and several of the musicians from Bora Bora formed the Golden Sounds Band. The group has been a favorite in such Nairobi night clubs as Coco Beach and Makuti Park. Depending upon economic circumstances, Golden Sounds Band has had as many as 16 members including dancers.
