I have heard Freddy's name as long as I have heard Samba's music. He calls out "Freddy Machoka" in nearly every song he has recorded. So I finally had the chance to meet this famous long-time radio dj and close friend of Samba when we visited his program on Citizen radio. Freddy is a whirlwind of energy, elbows, knees, hands flying as he carries on his nonstop patter, with a brilliant broad smile that can light up a room.
