Always on the notoriety, the litigious gospel artist Willy Paul is hitting the trends of the Kenyan music market, after the said release of a song by the name Lamba Nyonyo which translates to lick boobs. What could the song be up to or rather talking about?  The song which took the best of criticism on social media got itself a lot of views and also a lot of videos on the same.

Many Kenyans expressed their faux pas with Jalang’o who is poze’s official MC, commenting; “waaaaa… my boss I hereby tender my resignation… hii imenishinda boss… I hope you understand… meanwhile nalamba nyonyo.”

Another fan commented, “Am I the only one who has noticed that Willy Paul is trying to copy the wamlambez?”   When listening to the song, my mind was shaken and couldn’t even believe that what I was hearing was playing right into my ears. Many saying that it’s embarrassing to the women but still others with a poles apart mindset danced into the tune making the song trend.

On his side, Willy Paul said that; “I don’t think I should comment on everything that is said about me. Besides people are entitled to their opinions, I don’t think you have heard the end of the song, there is still much to come.

The Cathedral Band

For many years, it has been in perpetuum that the brass music is the type for the police or military bands. The bands used to entertain during state functions like Madaraka day, Mashujaa and also national events. It was a onetime awaited event where the well whipped into shape and rehearsed drills were displayed skillfully by the statesmen. It pulled many due to how unique and symphonic the music was, people could always poke and scrape together just to see this artistic and picturesque music that towed them from their homes just to come and see the performance then go back as soon s they were done with entertainment. You could clearly see the declined numbers. What a tbt?

Now the blending and chiming music is brought to you by the St. Joseph Cathedral Brass Band. It is not just music, but also the color of the uniform and the grandstand of the musical instruments will leave you wanting more of the entertainment. The mellow music seduces the ears and you won’t realize how you end up being frenzied and yearning for more. Unlike how people used to wait for a onetime event, the band brings this entertainment to any event that you wish.
