Ida Odinga went to the rescue of broke Ohangla musician Tom Mboya Angaga aka Atomy Sifa who surprisingly insulted Raila Odinga a while back.
Sifa recently found himself in the difficult situation of having to beg for financial help on the Internet.
Ida Odinga went to the rescue of Sifa while celebrating her 73rd birthday.
Raila’s wife donated music instruments worth Ksh100,000 the Benga musician.
Atomy Sifa has since dropped a new song which praises people who supported him at difficult moments.
The song also criticizes those who looked down upon him when he needed help as his music career was on the verge of collapsing.
The song is titled Atommy Sifa Jakwecho (kik ulimita), loosely translated as Atommy Sifa is a beggar (do not limit me).
In the song, Mr Angaga begins his lyrics with a monologue on what people told him as he struggled to get musical instruments.
He narrates how different people would talk to him as he sought help to save his career from ending,
“Atommy Sifa be iseyudo instruments? Ayudo kure? Mago ok joma limita (Do you have musical instruments? I do not. Whoever says that wants to limit me),” the musician said in the first stanza.
He continued “To jogi wacho ni iseyudo instruments. An kik ulimta (it is reported that you have the instrument. Do not limit me).”
He said he decided to compose the song to paint a picture of how his life has been over the past few months.
He used the song to praise those who supported him at his hour of need while condemning those who were trying to stop him from seeking help.
