Talented singer Kidum brings life into the universe with his sweet mellow music. Kenyans usually get tearful emotions whenever they get a chance to hear the singer pour out his heart.

Kidum was recently online to flaunt his lover’s baby bump. The two are almost having their first child. The singer has 6 kids from his previous relationships.

Though Kidum hasn’t been sharing much about his love life, he once spoke to Standard where he revealed he has been married three times and had six kids. That was almost seven years ago.

“Married?” Kidum is asked in the interview.

“Yes. Three times and with six children,” he replies. 

Adding:

“Not at the same time (chuckles). I met my first wife when I was still a refugee. She was also a refugee.  We stayed together for five years after which we separated. When I went back home to Burundi I met my second wife whom we stayed together for 10 years and then we separated. At this point my music had started picking up and it was little bit difficult to balance between career and family. I am with my third wife.”

Flame

Speaking about her current flame, Kiddum said then he met her nine years ago while she was in University.

“I will not tell you her name but I met her in 2010. She is from Bungoma. I knew her when she was still a university student and what attracted me to her was her simplicity. She would juggle her studies with selling bananas.  At that time I was looking for someone who would love me for who I am and not for money or fame. She is a beautiful woman and has been with me through thick and thin.” he said in the interview. 

 

You’ve not lived until you attend a Kidum concert

I listen to Kidum, just like most Kenyans. However, I didn’t really appreciate his music enough until the day that I saw him performing live with his band. It’s one of those experiences that changes your view of life.

Kidum

The singer, whose real name is Jean-Pierre Nimbona, relocated to Kenya more than two decades ago due to political instability in his home country, Burundi.

He had been involved in music from the age of 10 and had played for a number of bands before wore broke out in his home country, forcing him to flee. Upon arriving in Kenya, Kidum joined the Hot Rod Band where he stayed until 2004 when he formed his own band, the Boda Boda Band.

If you’ve been to any of Kidum’s live concerts, I’m sure you are familiar with the magic that happens when he gets on stage with his band. There’s no single word that can describe it.

Everything is always above par. From the synchronization, to the stage presence, the energy, to the order of the songs, to the inclusion of the audience to the spontaneity.

You can easily tell that the band puts so many hours into rehearsals. Maybe this is why the Boda Boda Band has remained one of the best bands in Kenya for more than a decade.

What’s even more is that Kidum is multi talented. You’ll find him strumming the guitar one minute, the next minute he is singing, he’ll be drumming or playing another instrument in the next minute.

But that’s not all. What I love about his music is that it’s timeless. Haturudi Nyuma was released a while back. However, when he gets on stage to perform it you’ll think it’s brand new and no one would even blame you.

If you are a music lover, attending a Kidum concert should be on your list, if you’ve never seen him performing live that is. It’s a worthwhile experience.

Watch his performance at the Koroga Festival 2017 below for a feel of what it is like to attend a Kidum concert.
