RICKY  na MARAFIKI BIO DATA.
Ricky and Marafiki  began their musical journey in the year 2010.It was and still is a four piece band made up of 
friends who enjoy making music together. Steve  Munga who plays the Saxophone is an engineer in his other life. 
He is also known as the Band Chief Whip and he does not hesitate to crack the whip when things don’t go 
according to plan. He brings much needed sanity among the crazy bunch of creatives.  Dr.Mike plays the piano. As 
the doctor he is our Mr. fix-it guy. He is the guy whose vote everyone wants to have where band matters are 
concerned. Kelvin Gachagua, the baby of the band is an accomplished singer in his own right. His curtain raising 
ballads give our shows the much sought after x-factor.
Ricky, the founder and genius behind the Ricky na Marafiki  band eats, drinks and breathes Music. He started out as 
a drummer in church before he graduated to bass. AfroJazz is a style he fell in love with when he travelled to 
America and heard a performance by Ettien Mpabe and he was simply blown away by his style. His passion and 
drive, other than chicken, is the thought of Ricky and Marafiki’s  Afrojazz  competing with others in the global 
music charts and markets.
Some of the group’s more notable achievements so far include participating in the Sauti Baraza festival in Zanzibar . 
They also hold an evening of AfroJazz  monthly at Alliance Francaise  with different themes every month where 
they have attracted a large following.
Their debut album ,Tucheze  was released in 2011 and their second album SO SIMPLEreleased in 2015
