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.

He died in a road traffic accident at an accident blackspot 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.

Their lyrics work in the traditional praise song tradition, offering support, encouragement, and flattery to listeners. During the 1970s, Shirati Jazz were moving more than 20,000 singles a month in Kenya; while they are less explosively popular now than then, they are still active as a house band in Nairobi.

Daniel Owino Misiani, more than any other Kenyan musician, has helped to develop and advance the modern guitar dance music of the Luo people known as "Benga." Born in 1940, he founded his first band, the Victoria Boys, in 1965. The group's name was changed to the Shirati Luo Voice sometime in the late '60s or early '70s, and has undergone a number of appellation and personnel changes over the years, usually under the name Shirati Jazz or some variation thereof. One thing that has remained the same is the music's straight-ahead melodies, wiggling bass lines and wry, concise lyrics about everyday situations and personalities.  D.O. Misiani & Shirati Jazz have gained a growing number of devotees throughout the world, especially since the release of several albums in the U.K. and U.S. in the late 1980s. While benga music as a genre has faded somewhat in recent years, they continue to be a working band and retain their loyal following.

Contrary to what the name suggests, Shirati Jazz is not a jazz band, but instead one of the best-known benga outfits in Kenya.
