“Mwendwa Wakwa Mariru” and “Mumunya” benga star Albert Gacheru, who crooned in Gikuyu was a rare breed of musician juggling a singing career with managing businesses.
Though he composed and produced several hits, what has stood the test of time and reverberated through our radios was the love song, Mwendwa Wakwa Mariru released in 1989. The song gave Gacheru his stardom and he would go on to produce over 200 albums. Others popular songs he composed were Yarwanio and Hurry, Hurry Waithera.

Renowned benga musician Albert Gacheru, who in 1990s produced many recording artistes, has died at the Kenyatta National Hospital.
Gacheru, who was known for his two hits “Mwendwa wakwa Mariru” and “Mumunya”, was the producer behind artistes such as the late Queen Jane, the late John Demathew and gospels singers such as Mary Wambui and Shari Martin.
His brother Julius Kanyora told the Nation that Gacheru had been in the ICU for the last two months and died last night at 9pm.

The 59-year-old Benga musician died on Monday evening at Kenyatta National Hospital, Nairobi, after what his brother, Julius Ngunjiri, termed as “two difficult months with a bout of pneumonia.”
Gacheru’s death is a big blow to the local music fraternity as he was one of the few daring musicians who took on River Road-based music pirates and rogue producers at the risk of his life. ....
