“Mwendwa Wakwa Mariru” and “Mumunya” benga star Albert Gacheru, who crooned in Gikuyu was a rare breed of musician juggling a singing career with managing businesses.
Though he composed and produced several hits, what has stood the test of time and reverberated through our radios was the love song, Mwendwa Wakwa Mariru released in 1989.
