“Brikicho!” One kid would shout from one corner as other kids responded in unison “Banture!”. This was a hide and seek game kids in the 80’s and 90’s loved to play.
Maziwa Nyayo was the thing to look forward to every Friday if you were in a government run school in the 90’s.
In the 60’s and 70’s belly bottoms and platform shoes were the in thing as Daudi Kabaka’s music sofly played from VOK (Voice of Kenya) AM station.
Uhuru park was the hottest hangout, “No one but you”,the best Mexican soap to watch on your Greatwall TV, Chapati’s and Mbuzi the dish to eat over Christmas, Fanta Moto na Mkate Nusu a delicacy at Music festivals and Michael Jackson the next best thing to sliced bread.
These are just but some of the great, nostalgic memories we treasure about being Kenyan.
