Kenyans are mourning the passing on of music legend Aurlus Mabele.

The Congolese music legend passed on March 19 in Paris. The iconic musician was aged 67 and has been battling a throat tumour for about 15 years. He also suffered after a stroke in 2005.

Kenyans are mourning the soukous king who brought life to their teenage years back in the '70s and 80s.

Here are some of the tributes.
