Mbarikiwa Media Ministry has been saddened by the unfortunate news of the passing on of the late Mwalimu Samson Kibaso. He was the music teacher and composer of Kurasini SDA Church Choir. He died yesterday while undergoing treatment. Mr Kibaso has been involved in composition of some of the most loved songs sangs by choirs and congregants in the Adventist Church in East Africa and the world over. His compositions have influenced and set the standard and tone of many songs. He has inspired and influenced many singers, composers, producers, and members of the church. Kurasini under his leadership has recorded over 50 albums. We join our brethren from Kurasini SDA Church Choir. May meet again on the ressurection morning. He composed many of the famous songs like najivunia yesu mwenye kunipa uwezo. Others include:
- Njia ya kwenda kalvari
- Kando ya mto
- Ninyi nuru ya ulimwengu
- Marafiki
- Kando ya bahari
- Dhambi zangu
- Kwa mkono wako bwana
- Mara gapi
- Fungua Fahamu
- Siwezi eleza
- Mambo mengi
- Nitapiga tarumbeta
- Kijana tajiri
- Saba mara sabini
- Safari ya mbinguni
- Ewe shetani
- Magari/ Ni Yesu
- Tulia kwa Yesu
- Bado kitambo kidogo
- Fungua macho na uyaone
- Sauti yangu bado ina nguvu
- Bayona
- Bado kitambo kidogo
- Ole ole
- Yerusalemi
Any many more… He will be surely missed. He is truly an icon that has shaped the music in the church.
