Kisii based singer Christopher Mosioma, popularly known as Embarambamba, has once again sparked uproar with his vulgar song which he claims to be gospel music.
Embarambamba starts singing “nataka nikuingize”, which, if loosely translated, has a very vulgar meaning in the Kenyan context.
The music video starts with him in a forest with only a white towel tied around his waist. He is not alone; a woman, who identifies herself as Lydia Ndude, also adorns only a white towel.
And, as the new song goes on, Embarambamba clarifies that he wants to recruit people to Jesus. He goes on to live up to his full character of bizarre dances and jumping from trees.
The singer has in the past been accused of having songs with vulgar meanings despite him saying they are Gospel songs.
“It might look suspicious when I sing ‘Nataka kukuingiza’ to a woman but the message is I want to make her a disciple of Jesus. I have to use sweet words in my songs; that is the reason why they are popular.
For music, if you do not do something unique it will not sell. There is a meaning to everything I do. When I roll in the mud and tear my clothes it means that I am tearing my earthly clothes that carry my weaknesses and putting on the robe of Jesus,” Embarambamba said.

Explaining why he donned towel in a ‘gospel’ song; Embarambamba said; “I thought about wearing a suit with a tie but then how would I be different from the rest who wear suits? Hence, the towel.”
