Comrades, another legend has passed on! Prince Job Paulo Kafeero, 38, undoubtedly one of the best musicians in his genre our country has ever seen, is now forever immortalized in his song 'Walumbe Zaaya.? May the Lord rest his soul in peace.

Kafeero?s death probably marks the end of 'kadongo kamu' as we grew to know it. He was the voice and sound that shunned modernity for originality.

My main memories of the 'Golden Boy of Africa' are on the 'Family Sunday Show' here at Connect. I can't recall presenting a show that ever ended without a caller requesting a track from Paulo Kafeero; Walumbe Zaaya, Omwana w'Omuzungu, Dippo Nazzigala, Bulandina - the list is long! It's a pity I never got to interview the man like I always thought I would. Paulo, on behalf of the many, thank you for the music!
