Henry Misango was a fingerstyle guitarist who played in the Omutibo style popularized by George Mukabi. After Mukabi’s untimely death in 1963, several Kenyan guitarists continued to play in this style – including Henry Misango, Herbert Misango, William Osale, Humphrey Eshitool, Peter Opwaka and Fanuel Ami- mo.
The title of this song seems to be a first name and last name – I do not know the significance of this name.
Recorded in Nairobi, Kenya circa 1966.
Released as Mwangaza Music Stores GT 22 (mx. MMS 41).
