Lingala Rhumba music fans and some Kenya-based Congolese musicians will use the opportunity to pay homage to the musician, who had been a frequent visitor to Kenya in recent years. Mose ‘Fan Fan’, who moved to London years ago in pursuit of greener pastures in his music career, had become a British citizen. Among those who have mourned Mose Fan Fan are Rhumba lovers Cotu secretary-general Francis Atwoli, songstress Suzanna Owiyo, consultant neurosurgeon Reuben Lubanga and retired top athlete Rose Tata Muya. The song ‘Papa Lolo’, which was recorded more than a decade ago, sprang to popularity after being uploaded on social media several years ago, after which it went viral. “We are also planning to stage a tribute concert for Mose ‘Fan Fan’ before his burial later this month in London,” Mr Lusambo said.
