Ogopa Deejays’ Talented Artist for a Collabo with American Duo Mary Mary!

After bagging the Best Newcomer award during last year’s Talanta Awards held in Washington, Ogopa Deejays and Gospel award winning artiste Silas Mwenda a.k.a. Silas Kenya has just revealed that he’s about to recording his collabo with American contemporary gospel duo Mary Mary at Columbia Records, in New York.

Silas was scheduled to record the same last year but was unable due to some unavoidable circumstances, taking the opportunity to launch his Debut album to Kenyans in the diaspora first before his main launch in Nairobi.

Silas has also been invited to perform at the Presidential Reception meeting, by the UN mission to Kenya in Manhattan New York City, Thursday next week September 26th where President Uhuru Kenyatta and many other dignitaries will be present. This comes shortly after he had a great performance last year at the same annual meeting while he was in the US, which too opened another door to perform in State House Nairobi during last year’s Jamhuri Day celebrations.

Silas’ debut single Nakuhitaji, released few years ago, introduced him to the music scene and did fairly well as it received some considerable airplay across some Kenyan music shows.

Fortunately, it got nominated and scooped two American gospel Music awards last year a midst some tours in USA,and Japan early this year.I have a new song out this week called Shukrani and my debut album called Tamu Tamu is dropping in December.
