Timeline

1940

Daniel Owino Misiani (22 February 1940 – 17 May 2006) was a Tanzanian-born musician based in Kenya, where he led the Shirati Jazz collective.

He was known as the "King of History" in Kenya; overseas and in Tanzania, he was known as "the grandfather of Benga", which he pioneered.

Misiani was born in Nyamagongo, a quiet village just north of Shirati in Mara Region, Tanzania, close to the eastern shore of Lake Victoria and the border with Kenya.

His parents were singers, but opposed his choice of a musical career on religious grounds.

1960

Nevertheless, he moved to Kenya in the 1960s to be a musician.

1965

He first recorded with the Victoria Boys in 1965.

The band changed its name many times before becoming popular as Shirati Jazz band.

He sang mostly in Dholuo and Swahili languages.

He is known as a pioneering contributor to the Benga music genre.

During his long career he released numerous recordings, with some international releases.

He was imprisoned on several occasions for lyrics that were perceived as crossing the line into political criticism.

One of his sons, Robert Misiani, pursued a career as a hip hop musician under the stage name Gun B. Robert was best known for "Nampenda" hit, a collaboration with Pilipili.

2006

Misiani died on 17 May 2006 in a road traffic accident at an accident hotspot in Kisumu, on the highway to Kakamega, in a crash between a minibus and a public transport van in which many others were injured.

At time of his death, aged 66, he was still an active performer.

Misiani, who was polygamous, had two wives (Felista and Beatrice) with 14 children.
