 ‘Lunchtime’ legend Gabriel Omolo with his Apolo Komesha band. It chides those who stick to town life telling them the city is not eternity. Omolo reminds city fanatics that chieng’ ma yamo nolali wanaiki pacho- when you eventually die we shall bury you in the village. Omondi Jasor says inspiration for this song came frm seeing a respectable army commander waste his life in the city only to be buried as a pauper back in his village. Singing alongside Gabriel Omolo is Sylvester Odhiambo (with the high pitched voice) and Charles Awita. Habil Owiso was also a band member but I doubt if he was in this recording. On the guitars are Gabriel Omolo (Solo) and Omondi Jasor on rhythm. Veteran musician Gabriel Omolo who died aged 79 years while receiving treatment at Busia District hospital. Photo: Standard
