SHOCKING REVELATIONS: THESE ARE THE 6 MAIN DEMONS THAT ARE KILLING OUR KIKUYU MUSICIANS AT A VERY YOUNG AGE....NUMBER 2, 4 AND 6 ARE THE MOST COMMON KILLERS

Over the last few months,famous Kikuyu singers have been exiting the stage never to walk up on it again… It has been a turbulent time for the Kikuyu musical fraternity. And not just months alone… But years too. Kikuyu singers who were lions of yore are no longer making waves. Most of them have died mysteriously while others have descended into obscurity,unable to sing anymore,strum a guitar as spectacularly as they used to or even break into a jig.

Systematically,the creme of the Kikuyu singing Kingdom has been making a fast and saddening disappearing act… They no longer possess the wizardry they used to boast of,they’re no longer pulling in the massive crowds they once used to,they’ve been used and battered and misused. The charm is gone… So is the voice,flair,life.

Recently, thousands of distraught Kikuyus congregated in some sleepy village in Subukia, Nakuru County to attend the colorful funeral of a man who came to be famously known as the King of Mugithi, Salim Junior.

Salim had a less than glamorous exit from the World stage. Years prior to his death,Salim had evolved into a sad shell of his former glorious self. His entry into the world of eroticized Mugithi hit making was brilliant,phenomenal and historical.



He controlled a huge swathe of the Kikuyu musical landscape,churning out hit after hit,some really unpublishable songs full of the most atrocious sexual innuendo. So popular was he that H.E the President Uhuru Kenyatta contributed a staggering half a million shillings for his funeral.

Before his death,yet another one passed away,the equally popular Murimi wa Kahalf he who popularized the slang word ‘Momo’ immortalized in his eponymous song ‘Ino ni Momo’.

Wa Kahalf’s death,just like that of most a Kikuyu musicians’, was shrouded in mystery and controversy. It also has to be remembered that Murimi was quite young when he died… Maybe as young as Salim Junior.

There’s always a trend of losing some of the brightest and most gifted Kikuyu lyricists,guitarists,vocalists and vernacular pop stars.

Their causes of death or irrelevance vary…. And while some of them are disputed,most of them are actually true and saddening.

We have been reliably informed of Kikuyu singers who cannot even play the guitar anymore,who are bedridden,who lost their voices and who are living derelict,dark lives.. A far cry from the glamorous giants they once were. But we won’t be mentioning their names here.

So what is KILLING Kikuyu singers? What is making them irrelevant and making them lose their mojo? Their touch? Their glory?
