After Listening To What Suzanna Owiyo Has Done You Will Definitely Regret Being Tribalistic

Suzanna Owiyo has been one of the finest local singers in the country ever since she hit the airwaves with a perfect song, Kisumu dala, several years ago.

Despite making her debut with a song done in Luo language, she made herself a household name with fine tunes and the love for guitar. She proved herself an iron lady and has since remained so, winning several ambassadorial deals that have seen her travel and meet eminent and prominent persons across the globe.

It was early this year that Suzanna once again announced her status as one of the finest local songbirds with her track Wamiel which was received so well by Kenyans and the Kenyan media in general.

Here, Suzanna wanted all of us to dance our ribs out. Well, we did dance.

Suzanna’s song comes at the right time when not only Kenya but Africa as a whole is in turmoil over tribalism, ethnicity and xenophobia.

Here is the song that is likely to touch quite a soul:
