Let's Twist Again, African Style

Twistin' The Night Away

As noted in our previous post, Chubby Checker (and songwriter Hank Ballard) didn't invent "The Twist."

Here are a few more twist songs from Kenya. John Nzenze appears again, as in the previous post, and John Mwale is also on board. I wish I could say I found some scrap of info about the latter (who seems to share a name with another musician?) but I came up dry.
