about

Andiwo in dholuo translates as brew, a popular traditional Luo beer.
Consuming it without limits has some severe consequences!
You could end up in endless drama.
“Time no go wait” you may think you are busy or still too young to focus, excess can bring you down. All the same, we all know that the best brew and gossips in the village are at Onyango’s home.

Thu Tinda!!!

lyrics

Yoo oruenyi Akelo yoo oruenyi,
Yoo oruenyi Akelo yoo oruenyi,
Wachno itieko e bura,
Wachno itieko e bura,
Sunga koro ineno oketho kari,
Sunga koro ineno oketho kari,
Seche koro ineno tuenyo,
Seche koro ineno tuenyo,
Nyani koro ineno idiwo,
Nyani koro ineno idiwo,
Seche koro ineno tuenyo,
Seche koro ineno tuenyo,
Wuoyi pod igalori,
Wuoyi pod igalori,
Seche koro ineno tuenyo,
Seche koro ineno tuenyo,
Jopiny wacho,
Kong’o kong’o oketho kare,
Jopiny wacho,
Kong’o kong’o oketho kare,

Akelo seche oromo momo dwaro kendo, opimo kuom nyamin mare.

Sara hybrid nyar town, agul ok di ed,

Kong’o osihe, kong’o osihe,
Kong’o orunde, kong’o orunde, x2

Okil marandere onindo, nyithindo laro ywak ni yaye wuod K’Anyangoni ero onindo ka, an ema nyocha oor nyasore, - agul ok di ed, agul ok di ed.

K’Onyango fatila bupie,
K’Onyango andiwo kechie,
K’Onyango fatila berie,
K’Onyango andiwo gerie,
K’Onyango.


Thu Tinda!!!
