Recognizing the immense talent in his last-born son Kal Katana, John Harrison Katana is not only a musical virtuoso but also a wise and forward-thinking mentor.
He decided to pass on the torch and introduce the young prodigy to Them Mushrooms band. Kal's musical journey began at a tender age, displaying a natural affinity for music.
At around the age of two, he would join his father and the band during their rehearsals, refusing to leave the practice room even for meals.
When Kal turned five, Katana presented him with a guitar, sparking the beginning of a musical education that was rooted in tradition and fueled by innovation.
The band members, including the late George Katana, Katana's brother, taught the young musician various instruments.
From guitar to keyboards and saxophone, Kal honed his skills under the guidance of seasoned musicians, each imparting their musical wisdom and passion to the next generation.
''kwamba ajue elimu yahitajika lakini kwetu sisi familia yetu mungu ametupa talanta ya miziki, kwa hivyo yeye ameleta upya wa ujana kwenye bendi, na sisi tumempa maadili ya vile ambavyo sisi wenyewe tumekuwa tukijichukulia maishani’’ John Harrison Katana.
