Kenya: Is This Man the Country's Richest Musician? - Wamaria uses business and political skills to rake in millions in a difficult field, writes JOHN KARIUKI [All Africa.com music]
Musician Kennedy Wambua Nguze's personal identification reads like this:
Age: 36.
Job description: Musician/entrepreneur.
Marital status: Married with two children.
Financial status: Millionaire.
Personal vehicles: A Mercedes Benz E200, Prado, a Pajero for personal use and others for work purposes.
Property: Has paid Sh3 million for a house at Doonholm in Nairobi, owns three textile shops in the city and is a partner at Kinga Motors of Umoja which deals in used vehicles, is a co-owner of Sunset Safaris - a tour firm in Mombasa - and is involved in real estate business.
It may sound like a mouthful, but not for the exuberant, dreadlocked artiste, whose stage name is Ken Wamaria.
With his music selling well, Wamaria is undoubtedly the greatest success story in Kamba music in a long time, but he has hardly featured in the media and never earned himself a local celebrity tag. But this does not overly bother him.

Hello Thomas, what's this latest album you are talking about?
I know Obama Oye are chants in Kenya. Obama Oye! He's really made all Africans proud.
Hi, Chale. What I meant by Saying Obama Oyee, is just trying to congratulate this man for what he is doing. And if you are a fun of Wamaria- Ken I think you have heard his newest song which he congratulates the americans for what they have done to elect Obama being an African to lead them. So I was just congratulating him too. Thank you.
Regards.
