Welcome to our Singing Wells Top 20 - A celebration of our favourite moments of our travels and discovery over the last 10 years. Next on our journey, we meet son of a songwriting legend, Johnstone Mukabi.
The Mukabi name is something that strikes a chord with many music lovers in East Africa. George Mukabi is one of the most prominent figures in Luhya musical history, and is known as the founder of the Omutibo genre of music. He had a unique finger picking style of playing guitar that struck a chord with many musicians that succeeded him. One of those musicians was his son Johnstone Mukabi. After his father passed, he went to the studio to re-record his father’s music and has continued the Mukabi musical legacy for generations to come.
