The master musician, John Ndicu had a unique way of achieving continuity in his work,on a cross examination of compositions, you’ll note that his music complemented each other without necessarily being ‘macokio’, i would equate his work to a TV series; for a better grasp lets have a look at some of his masterpieces, here we go;

Before The Rwengo Brothers began their narration, they would always involve their fan base whom they referred to as Arata, you can always pick that in most of their records; that could have served various purposes but on this context it can point to epic music writers who wanted their fan base to get hooked to their work always in anticipation of their next project which was more of a sequel, further the Rwengo’s wrote music in an open ended style which made future album projects more sustainable just like in the blockbuster movies; there’s a whole new life waiting in its end thanks to the sequels to come in future;

Straight On, lets sample these…

One of the earliest records by the prolific group ‘Akinyi’ set the ground for a future sequel, in this record, Ndicu describes his odyssey in Kisumu dala, as per the record, Ndicu embarked on a journey from Gatanga with love to the cradle of Benga, Kisumu City, while enjoying the breeze from L. Victoria, Ndicu saw a Luo girl across the street and was love smitten by her beauty, Ndicu gathered courage and approached the lady before she faded into the streets, the eloquent Ndicu made the girl give him a chance to win her heart.

The girl would be impressed and crushed on him instantly, she soon opened up and we learn she’s Akinyi, Okech’s daughter, she was really interested in visiting Gatanga;well maybe to start marking her territory.

In the 1st sequel of the hit ‘Akinyi’ Ndicu tells us how the love drunk Akinyi had sent endless love letters which made Ndicu return to Kisumu to officially betroth this Luo girl.

The character Akinyi was not dropped at the end of the sequel as we later see her again in a further continuation in the series of songs ‘Mugathi Wa Kuona’

Here things take a little twist as Wagakunga narrates;

On a beautiful Sunday, Ndicu’s grandparents went into celebration mode when he walked back home with a beautiful damsel whom we learn is Nduku Mutuku’s daughter though all odds pointed out that she was just but a side chick since Akinyi was still Ndicu’s girlfriend.

As it naturally happens Akinyi got wind Ndicu was eloping with a Kamba lady back in Murang’a and within few days Akinyi embarked to Ndicu’s home heaving fire to claim her sphere of influence.

As expected a heated argument eloped between the girls whose fault was only falling for one man;

Shouting and cursing in Kamba and Luo dialect respectively, neither of Ndicu’s grandparents would foster peace, in the background Ndicu wonders loudly who between Akinyi and Mutuku will he settle for though it seems after all the drama, his dice stopped rolling on Nduku who later dumped him in a hilarious turn of events as explained in his hit song ‘Nduku Wa Mutuku’

As now Ndicu’s wife, Nduku settles at Gatanga but later leaves her matrimonial home while Ndicu is away, Wagakunga suspects she must had wrangled with her mother Ngina but later get intel that Nduku eloped with Ngere, a Machakos matatu driver; Maybe that served as a sweet karma for Akinyi…
