The Kenyan music industry is mourning the demise of Christian Longomba, the one half of the Longombas singing duo - which ruled the Kenyan music scene years gone. Christian, who impacted the Kenyan showbiz scene together with his twin brother Lovi Longomba, died on Saturday after a long struggle with brain tumour.
According to his sister Jessy Jones, Christian, 37, who had been in and out of hospital, died in Los Angeles, US. Lovi also took to social media to mourn his brother, saying: “To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.”
