Shamuka

Them days when KBC ruled, Music Time was the show to watch for local and international hits. From the earliest I can remember, Music Time was hosted by Fred Obachi Machokaa, calling himself 'The blackest man in black Africa'. Then came a few lady presenters here and there, but the absolute show stopper was Shadrack Musyoka wa Kaleli or 'Shamuka' as he preferred to call himself. He'd appear on the screen carrying a basket which supposedly contained all the hits for the day's show. I'll never forget the day he said 'Na sasa tunakuletea yule kipusa Ndolly Parton, akitusukumia kizinga - She's an Engo!'.
