Fast-rising Kikuyu secular artist Samidoh has composed a remix version of Mwago Witu (Our Marvel) song which was originally done by celebrated singer Muigai wa Njoroge alias Kigutha.

The cop-cum-musician had in mid-last year promised to do a remix version of the Kigutha’s hit song.

The remix was released a week ago and has out-shined the original song which too received massive support when Kigutha released it in March last year.

Samidoh has apparently outperformed Kigutha, his close confidante and music mentor. Done in one-an-guitar style, the version is now a hit on internet, live performances and local radio stations.

The song talks about the Kikuyu traditions that have been discarded and replaced with ignorance, materialism and idolatry.

The version has received huge play requests on radio stations and at Mugithi events in pubs.

“I credit my fans for this. They are the reason I have accomplished this far” Samidoh stated on the overwhelming support.

With 183K views on youtube within a week, the song is swiftly closing in on the year-old original piece which has 560K views.
