Ally Maneno

Maneno loved Bob Marley and Mbaraka Mwinshehe as a kid, and joined Orchestre Dar International when he got out of college. He used Les Mwenge for a short while before shifting to Kenya, where he created a soukous/reggae music group known as Isse Isse Celebrities, which were reasonably successful but experienced their gear seized by its owner. Maneno was pressured to carefully turn to program work to produce a living and offers used Joseph Kamaru.
