The current band members comprise Erwin Gaweseb on drums, Tulonga Wahengo on rhythm guitar, Mwayakalola Wahengo on lead guitar, Nafidi Wahengo on drums and Moses Manda on percussion. The lead vocals are shared by Ngatu Nganjone and Castro Ileni. A new CD ‘Shaa Mboka Rocks’ will be launched in the near future – due date in April.
