Tommy Steele And The Steelmen - Nairobi
Review by Tanner Muller
The album Nairobi by Tommy Steele And The Steelmen is a lively and upbeat collection of songs that blend rock n' roll with African rhythms. From the opening track "Nairobi" to the closing number "Mambo Jambo," Steele and his band deliver a high-energy performance that is sure to get listeners moving.
One standout track is "Big Train," which features a driving beat and catchy lyrics that are sure to stay in your head long after the song is over. Another highlight is "Kilimanjaro," which features a blend of African percussion and guitar work that creates a truly unique sound.

Love to hear this again, and wow it has the whistle at the key change which modern digital versions have lost for some reason. My elder sister was a great Tommy Steele fan. Great fun. I have never given any thought to what the song was about

I was 11 years old when this was released. Like Ivoriesman I too wonder what was the rationale behind the lyrics. Perhaps it has some connection with the Mau Mau uprising (1952-1960) which seemed to be continually on the radio ("wireless"!) news in those days
Even now the tune and hook line pop into my head from time to time.
Thanks for sharing Ivoriesman,

I don't know of any other UK artist who covered this one but as Guy M's reign was coming (or had come) to an end at this time I doubt if he recorded it.
