‘Mkono wa Bwana’ will help drunkards get saved

Zabron singers have said they don't sing for those who are saved but for those who are yet to know God.

Speaking at a press conference, the Tanzanian choir reacted to their songs being played at the club and in discos.

"We don't sing for ourselves. We sing so that we are able to attract people to Christ," said Victoria Zabron, a member of the choir.

"We have received many calls from people telling us that 'Mkono wa Bwana' is being played in the bars and discos. A drunkard who will listen to that song will remember that there is God. He will stop that lifestyle and reflect on his life.

"We need to remember those in the bars, discos and those who don't know God, to preach the gospel to them and bring them to God so we go to heaven together." 

Their choirmaster Japheth Zabron said the song 'Mkono Wa Bwana' was their breakthrough track.

"That has been a song that has brought great success for us. It is not easy to be where we are."

"We started recording in 2012 but it was until 2016 that we officially started music as a choir."

Zabron choir also thanked the Kenyan government for inviting them to the inauguration of President William Ruto.

"It is a big deal and we are giving our gratitude. We were honoured. We are encouraging every gospel artiste to put more effort in their work to cross the borders."

"We were happy because President Samia Suluhu was also there to celebrate with Kenya."

Japheth said they spoke to President Ruto's family, who termed their song a blessing. "They have been our fans. It is a good thing to be proud of. It motivated us."

Mkono was Bwana has garnered more than 25 million viewers on YouTube. Their wedding hit song, 'Sweetie Sweetie', has garnered more than 33 million views on the same platform.
