Jemmimah Thiongo

When you discover Jemimah Thiong’o and your life may never been the same since!

You wil just fall in love with her first CD Alinitua. Track after track is on point! Her latest album Imani is even better than the first. Again every single track is just on point.

I think her music and voice is of a much higher quality than other Kenyan artists who get all the hype. I feel like there is a class background issue and she doesn’t have the kind of people promoting her that match the high quality of her music. I mean with talent like this, she should really be rivaling the international career of an Oliver Mtukudzi…. And while i’m making the Southern African comparisons, I should mention that, to me, her music is reminiscent of South Africa’s Brenda Fassie who I discovered when i lived in Zimbabwe a while back. I think if she got the right kind of people and money behind her, her talent and career could easily rival those Southern African performers.

My four thumbs up songs from the CD Alinitua are mwenye Baraka, Hakuna, and Mipango ya Mungu. And from Imaniare sina chakujivunia, una mbegu, and Niseme nini.
