“Awino”, the new track by Kenya’s Rumba Star Johnny Junior continues to dominate the airwaves in Kenya, ranking as one of the most popular songs a week after its release.

Love conquers fans

The music video for the song officially launched last week, is the talk of the town.

“Awino” is an emotionally packed love song Johnny Junior has dedicated to his wife.

The song opens with soothing instrumentation and emotionally charged vocals – carefully observing the traditional Rumba beats and gradually transforms into a fast-tempo song with a densely textured sebene section commonly noticed in soukous hits.

The new song has already hit 108,000 views on YouTube in a week.
