Three months after gospel singer Betty Bayo’s death, her husband, Tash, gave an emotional performance at the Mathaga Festival.
The event, which took place at Kiambu Valley Gardens, was both a memorial and a celebration as Tash led the crowd in singing and dancing to his late wife’s popular songs.
Introduced by his friend, gospel entertainer DJ Mo, Tash started with Busy Busy, singing every word while smiling.
The crowd joined him, making a lively atmosphere that mixed happiness with sadness.
As the music changed to another of Betty’s hits, Siyabonga, Tash’s energy drew everyone into a worship session, showing that Betty’s music is still loved by her fans.
Betty Bayo, whose real name was Beatrice Mbugua, died on November 10 at Kenyatta National Hospital after being diagnosed with advanced blood cancer.
She is survived by her husband, Tash, and two children, Sky Victor and Danivictor, from her prior relationship with Pastor Victor Kanyari. Her death was a loss to the gospel music scene and her supporters.
Since her death, Tash has stayed out of the spotlight, focusing on preserving Betty’s legacy despite discussions about the children’s custody.
His performance at Mathaga Festival showed his strength and commitment, showing that love and music can help heal and inspire.
Fans praised Tash on social media, applauding him for honouring Betty’s memory and keeping her music alive.
