Keetu amuenzi R.I.P Steven Kanumba

The tears might not dry for a long while;the pain might just be permanent. Tanzania n the world says goodbye to one of the greats in the African movie industry....STEVEN KANUMBA life stole,gone too young....youtube these; Nenda salama. A tribute song done by Keetu...lets join n lift our souls in saying fare thee well GREAT ONE.

Keetu is a very gifted Kenyan born songwriter,vocalist,dancer,actress,human rights activist.
she is a firm believer in freedom of expression for oneself and the multitude.
Talking to Keetu b4 and after her recording session,i sort to find out what drove her to write such a passionate song as "TRIBUTE TO THE LATE KANUMBA"
  These is what she had to say," He was a man who would have found a way to take all stars from the sky,put them in his pocket and walk around like he had not done any extraordinary thing.."she looks away,"He was TRULY GREAT."
 After some silence she looked me straight in the eye and with evident pain and said," I had plans already in motion to work with him,i feel robbed...." And with that she stood and i had to accept that that would be the end of our conversation then...but i look forward to finishing it but if any of you get to the end of this line b4 me i guess i'll have my turn of being the reader.
 but one thing is for certain the voice i heard charging through the studio walls as she bid her brother away best way she knows how might just become another GREAT.
