Hundreds gathered at Muthithi Primary School in Murang’a County for the burial of veteran musician Joseph Kamaru who died last week.

President Uhuru Kenyatta, his deputy William Ruto and Opposition Raila Odinga were among the senior leaders in attendance.

The burial was also dominated by more than 50 musicians most of whom were inspired by Mr Kamaru and interacted with him during his long career.

Mr Kamaru performed during the wedding reception of President Kenyatta and his wife in 1990.

His colourful musical career saw him interact with the founding President Mzee Jomo Kenyatta and retired President Daniel arap Moi.
He will be remembered for popularising the funky benga sounds and guitar riffin that was the signature of his later songs, influencing a generation of artists in central Kenya.​
