Champion SoundBest Quality in East Africa

Charles Ogweno flew jets for the Kenya Air Force before he ever touched a turntable. He named the sound Omega One because it was meant to be the only one that lasted. Four decades on, it is the one still standing.

Our story

Four decades

Omega One has been a household name in western Kenya since 1983 — a mobile disco that grew into a sound company, a concert stage and a recording studio. The rivals it started against, Intercity, Funkatek and Galaxy, are all gone.

  1. 1982

    Out of the cockpit

    Ogweno joins the Kenya Air Force as a flight cadet and trains as a pilot in the UK. After the attempted coup he is detained, and on release he leaves the force for good.

  2. 1983

    Omega One begins

    He names the mobile disco Omega One — the first and the last of its kind. Intercity, Funkatek and Galaxy all came after, and none of them lasted.

  3. 1990s

    The residencies

    Years on rotation at Tokyo Omega Lodge in Otonglo and Webbs Club in Kisii, with shows out to Mombasa, Kitale, Kapsabet and Nakuru.

  4. 2000s

    Sound Check Studio

    The ground floor of the family house in Kisumu becomes a recording studio. Ohangla maestro Tony Nyadundo and Onyi Papa Jay both cut tracks there.

  5. Today

    Still on the road

    Full live sound reinforcement for concerts, rallies and the international bands that tour the western region — with the DJs Omega trained now working across Kenya.

  • Live sound

    Line array reinforcement — Martin Audio, Turbosound and Electro-Voice — rigged for halls and open grounds.

  • Stage and power

    Concert stage build and 130 kVA of generator on site, so the show does not stop with the grid.

  • Tours

    Systems hired to international bands playing the country.

  • DJ development

    Don Ben, DJ Mike, Kim and Charley all learned the ropes here before moving on.

  • Sound Check Studio (Closed)

    Tracking and mixing in Kisumu, in the room where Nyadundo and Onyi Papa Jay recorded.
