Raila Woos Choku

Local artiste Choku was last week in the company of PM Raila Odinga during the talk2raila Web TV live streaming session. Choku, one of the premiere female artists in the Kenyan music industry, had gone to fraternize and interact with the PM during the talk2raila live streaming session.

Kenyan artists and celebs are now regular guests at the popular talk2raila interactive internet sessions, where the Prime Minister engages Kenyans on a variety of topical issues. Redsan, Jaguar and Prezzo have also paid the PM a courtesy call most recently.

Born Wambui Kimaru, Choku, first made an impact in the Kenyan music scene in 2003 when she released her single Pole featuring Genge artiste Juacali. She later joined the Calif Records stable, where she teamed up with Rat-a-tat and the late Lady S to form the group Calif Angels and recorded the hit song Kilio, which earned the group a Kisima awards nomination in 2007.
