Kenyans mourn slain Kikuyu musician Mighty salim
By Hon. Sankok David
Mighty Salim was a Kikuyu musician,
Mighty Salim was a one man guitar,
Mighty Salim was a great inspiration to me,
I learnt most of Kikuyu words from his songs until I mastered the language.
Kenyans have lost a great man,
He was the Kenyan Jim Reeves,
His songs inspire love and caution wayward people,
His songs soothe our nights,
His songs reverberate our hearts,
His songs massage our egos by singing direct to our life’s challenges.
I love his songs especially;
Sinyorita,
Kanyina Kanini.
I love the songs so much ever since I was in the University of Nairobi (UoN) to date,
