Mugithi sensation Samidoh is making headlines across Europe as videos of his energetic performances continue to spread like wildfire. The celebrated singer has been on a tour that’s clearly resonating with fans abroad, with one of the most talked-about moments being his rendition of the now-viral ‘Kasongo’ song.
Dressed in a blue shirt and a signature hat, Samidoh lit up a stage in Ireland, delivering a performance that had the crowd on its feet. He temporarily paused his usual Mugithi tracks to entertain his audience with the ‘Kasongo’ hit, a song that has grown massively popular back home. The crowd erupted as he danced energetically to the beat, with fans clapping and singing along in what turned into an electrifying atmosphere.
What’s remarkable is how the song, widely associated with a popular nickname linked to the Kenyan president, brought out an overwhelming sense of unity and excitement among the diaspora crowd. Many were thrilled to see Samidoh bring a taste of home to foreign soil, and their enthusiasm showed in their cheers and dance moves.
The singer’s bold performance sparked a flurry of online reactions. Some praised him for his unmatched energy and stage presence, while others questioned how he balances his entertainment career with his duties in the police force. The playful tone of fans’ comments reflected admiration and concern in equal measure. While some joked about his future in politics or being posted to remote locations upon return, others simply celebrated the joy he brought them.
In another viral video, Samidoh was seen on stage as the crowd broke into political chants of “Ruto must go.” Rather than getting involved, the artist tactfully turned to his band, flashing a smile that seemed to acknowledge the tension in the room. His decision not to engage appeared to be a deliberate move to avoid controversy, especially in light of recent political friction back home.
Reactions to the video were mixed—some encouraged him to pick a side, while others admired his diplomatic silence. A few quipped that he might face a transfer or disciplinary action when he returns, but the general sentiment leaned towards amusement and admiration for how he handled the situation.
Adding to the charm of his tour, Samidoh also surprised many by joining a street band in a town in Ireland. In yet another popular clip, he was seen strumming a guitar in the middle of a bustling street, performing his Mugithi classics. Passersby, including locals unfamiliar with his music, stopped to enjoy the impromptu concert. A toddler danced joyfully, and even some tourists captured the moment on their phones, swaying to the rhythm. The scene was a perfect display of music’s power to transcend language and cultural barriers.
Overall, Samidoh’s European tour is proving to be more than just a musical success—it’s a cultural moment. He’s not only entertaining fans but also making new ones along the way, showcasing the richness of Mugithi music to a global audience.
