Just A Band‘s video is inspired by those who perished and survived the Nyayo House torture and detention chambers that were in use during Daniel arap Moi’s period as president. Find out more about that here.



‘Matatizo’ (which in Swahili means ‘problems’ or ‘suffering’), is a beautiful rendition of Issa Juma’s ‘Matatizo Nimeyazoea’ (which in Swahili translates to ‘I am used to problems’). Juma was a member of the popular 70′s band Les Wanyika.

Al momento ho trovato solo una traduzione in inglese del testo swahili
Ah eh Ah eh Ah eh

My Brother,
Don't worry Me I am ‘o’ (okay)
Whatever happens i’ll help you
Problems Are for Everyone
They don't tell you
When they will come
When They’ll happen
I’ll help you
When they (problems) got me
Many laughed at m
But to me…
This is normal
My brother, to me,
I’ve become used to having problems
To me, I see this as usual…

aiiyaayaay
