My roommate in university enjoyed playing vernacular songs, especially those of Musa Juma, Omondi Tonny, DO Misiani, Osogo Winyo, Ramogi and tens of benga and ohangla songs. I wondered how he could enjoy these songs 24 hours a day. But with time, I started appreciating his genre of music, whose themes were based on our history, politics and love.
