'When mum left,' Angela Chibalonza's daughter looks back

02 May 2022

• A fan was super impressed saying, "Wonder Chibalonza brought back memories that never faded from our hearts."

The all grown daughter of the last gospel music icon Angela Chibalonza has picked the mantle from her.

Chibalonza died and left her daughter, Wonder Chibalonza, with pastor Elisha Muliri while she was breastfeeding, barely a year old.

Chibalonza tragically died 15 years ago in a grisly road accident along the Nakuru Nairobi Highway after performing at Egerton University.

Wonder Chibaloza who is now all grown has redone her mother's classic hit, Uliniumba Nikuabudu.

In the song, she remixes one of the verses adding her own life story, picking up from where he mother left off.

"I have no words to say. When my mother left, you became my mother. You gave my father the strength to raise me. When I ran out of milk, you fed me. When I cried night and day you were there with me."

She adds, "It was a dream for me to grow up. That is why I stand to worship you."

The song has been posted on her stepmother's Youtube Channel, under Maggie Muliri. Watch the remake below.

The nostalgia from the song leaves fans feeling some type of way. Many likened Wonder's talent in the rendition to be similar to her mom's. Here are some of the reactions.
