Career
Les Wanyika was to become more popular as Simba Wanyika disintegrated. The death of George Peter Kinyonga in August 1995 served as the last nail in the coffin for Simba Wanyika. Subsequent attempts by some former band members to reassemble the band have not been successful.
Wilson and George Kinyonga began as musicians in their home town of Tanga in Tanzania when they joined Jamhuri Jazz Band in 1966.
In 1970 they moved to Kenya and formed Simba Wanyika, which would become one of the most influential bands in the history of East African music
