Joseph Kamaru

About the artist

Joseph Kamaru (Kangema, Kenya, 1939 – 3 October 2018) was a Kenyan Benga and gospel musician and political activist. He was a leading Kikuyu musician, who has sold about half a million records. He was notable for his politically motivated songs either praising or criticising the government. He was known for his friendship with President Jomo Kenyatta, but after writing a song condemning the murder of Josiah Mwangi Kariuki, they ceased to be close. He also wrote songs praising President Daniel arap Moi.
