John Ngereza Biography
A former member of Bwambe Bwambe, Ngereza formed Les Wanyika Band with the Kinyonga brothers Wilson, George, and William shortly after the brothers left Simba Wanyika Original in 1978. The group quickly became popular throughout Kenya, releasing such hits as "Sina Makossa." Although they recorded a disco medley of their greatest hits in the early '90s, the band soon returned to its trademark sound.
Ngereza's guest appearances on Orchestre Virunga's North American tour in 1997 seemed to propel Les Wanyika Band towards international recognition. The death of rhythm guitarist and composer Professor Omari Shabani, however, in February 1988, was a major setback. ~ Craig Harris
He Led Les Wanyika until his death in February 2000
