When 90-year-old Enock Ondego died on February 26, one thing stood out: not many young Kenyans knew about this great icon of nationalism. Ondego, one of Kenya’s most prominent songwriters, died after suffering a stroke in his house in Kisauni, Mombasa County. Most Kenyans know him as the composer of the famous Wimbo wa Historia and Kenya Yetu songs, which to stir memories of the liberation struggle. The songs are still played during national celebrations such as Jamhuri Day and Madaraka Day.
