Tanzania Gospel singer Christina Shusho.

Music knows no boundaries and this statement was well put into action by celebrated Tanzania Gospel songstress Christina Shusho.

In collaboration with Sammy Irungu, the two dropped the video of their recent project titled ‘Tuine Ruimbo.’

Although not her maiden tongue, Shusho changes tongues effectively and flawlessly as she delivers her verse in meticulous fluent Kikuyu. Confessing that it wasn’t easy, Christina had this to say, “Ndugu zangu Wakenya, Jirani zetu, ilikuwa ni furaha kubwa na heshima kushikriki kwenye wimbo huu. Ilikuwa ni kazi ngumu sana kuimba kwa Kikuyu lakini Team zote mbili zilifanya jitihada kuhakikisha zoezi limefanikiwa,” she said.

Known for her edifying gospel songs, among them Thamani ya WokovuNapenda and Nipe Macho, among many others, this was a change of scene, and it goes to show how versatile she can be. Kenyans could not hold themselves as they heaped praises on the singer.

Instagram user, maggy_kui1, commented saying, “The song is just perfect hongera madam shusho yani u mean ata kikuyu you can speak.I can't get enough of the new song of the week.”

Her sentiments were echoed by Gitau Godfrey who said, “@christinashusho uko sure wewe sio Christina Shir? from M?rang'a, Central Kenya? Your Kikuyu is so on point, even the accent. Great song! @sammyirungu_official kazi safi sana.”

Another user, mrphatmusiq, commented, “Lol I don't think I can sing Kikuyu that much well and am Kenyan...great work.”

On the other hand, Sammy Irungu is a Kenyan musician who sings in vernacular ‘Kikuyu,’ so this was his normal forte.

Despite being in the limelight due to her songs and making headlines now and then, many people don’t know that Christina started as a church janitor and has also tried her hands in professional modelling. She tried herself as a model and is also a creator, and owned her own modeling agency. ?
