This was a scarely experience since audio tapes were very precious commodities in the 80s and 90s. Cassetes za Vyone Chaka Chaka, Yellowman, Chaka Demus & Pliers were hot cakes na kazi ilikuwa kubadilishana na kudub.

I never got this opportunity but after 1 O’Clock news ilikuwa salamu nonstop. People from Western Kenya were the main clients of this service. They would send letters to VOK by post and list their entire clan then after about 10 days the whole village would be tuned onto their radios and listen to their names.

The popular Salams Club are long dead now and have instead been replaced by some crazy fanatics who register about 10 Sim Cards and place nonstop calls to vernacular radios to greet each other. One such fvcker is called something like Wakigogoine a Kameme Fm fun from sides za Nyeri County.

This was a common trend in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s. When your uncle or cousin was flying to the US, UK or India kwenda kusoma, the entire village sent him off with hired buses. Banana trees were strapped to the side mirrors and a camera man was sought to capture the monumental event. A church choir was also invited with those old shoulder strapped drums. Kelele tupu kwa bus na pale Departures. Will never forget my first time kuona ndege pale JKIA kwa fence nikiwa 8 years old.
Prayers were also held to protect the plane from any accidents and the pilot was also mentioned in the prayers. A lot of hope was placed on the young man or woman going overseas as if money grows on trees in the USA or Europe. Some of those people endend becoming drunks huko majuu and some were deported with nothing to their name except plane magazines.
