Top 10 Kamba Gospel Musicians

According to me, as a Kamba gospel music fan, there are certain names that can’t possibly miss, if we are talking about the top 10 Kamba gospel musicians -- the ones who are currently active musically.

One is that of Wilberforce Musyoka. He has, over a relatively short period of time, managed to cultivate a strong fan base, with songs that are doctrinally sound, with unique beats and catchy melodies.

Another name that is bound to come up in any list of top 10 kamba gospel musicians is that of Stephen Kasolo. Kasolo is known to come up with songs that have messages that resonate with the masses, and with some serious melodies to go with them.

Yet another name that keeps on coming up whenever discussions on the top 10 kamba gospel musicians are held is that of Justus Myello (by the way, is it Mielo or Myello?). Anyway, Myello’s songs come with deep logic and are always quite well constructed.

Further on, we have Purity Kateiko, and any list of top 10 Kamba Gospel artists without the name of Purity would surely be an utter travesty.

A young upcoming Kamba gospel artist who has nonetheless managed to earn a spot in the top 10 is Jackson Mutinda, of the Masekete fame.

Then of course there is James Mwongela of the Mbua Nene fame who surely belongs in the list of 10 kamba gospel musicians.

Of course there is the evangelist John Kay, who is known to come up with hard-hitting Kamba gospel songs from time to time.

David Munyao may have been a one-hit wonder (with his ‘Mbete’ song), but many would agree that he is a supremely talented Kamba gospel musician.

Stella Mengele is another well-loved Kamba gospel artist, as is Faith Nzilani, Pastor Musembi, Caxton Mutambuki, Pastor Dan Mutemi, Kenny Bizzoh… among many others.

Of course there are other top kamba gospel artists who sing for a national audience – the likes of Hellena Ken, Bahati (it is easy to forget that Bahati is Kamba), Mercy Masika and others.

And there are those who would be considered among the oldies – the likes of the Kasangas and Pastor Nzuki Tata (whose song ‘Ninakwatie Tata’ is sung even in Western Kenya… among many others.

Oh, and by the way, this list is by no means exhaustive, as every Kamba gospel fan has his own ideas on whom the top Kamba gospel artists are. I just mentioned the ones that come to mind instantly.
