J. Mambo Asango Nyabuyoma biography
Joseck Mambo acquired the nickname Asango Nyabuyoma after his grandfather who was a multitalented singer and instrumentalist.
Speaking to Nyamwembe TV, he recognized the grand dad as a role model.
“Hilo sasa ndio jina la babu wangu, ambaye pia alikuwa mwanamziki maarufu… alikuwa anacheza instrument kama hizi, mbaya mbovu.”

Nyabuyoma’s ancestral home is in Bogisero Village within Ekerenyo Ward which borders Magwagwa, Bokeira, and Itibo wards.
Simba Netaya singer attended Kenguso Primary School. On completing the KCPE exams, Asango proceeded to Gekomoni Secondary school for his high school studies.
After his KCSE exams in 2004, Asango sought admission to a Nakuru-based college for higher learning.
Asango says he started singing while in primary school. Initially a gospel artist, he discovered even more talents as the years passed by.
“Mambo na usanii mimi nataka kushukuru mungu kwa sababu sina talanta moja, nina zaidi ya moja. Nikianza kabisa mimi nilikuwa mchoraji, I am an artist, kwa hivyo kuna michoro nilikuwa nachora, lakini nikiwa mwanafunzi katika shule ya msingi, pia nilianza kutambua talanta yangu ya kuimba. Hapo ndio nilikuwa naimba, ijapokuwa nilikuwa naimba nyimbo za injili, na hata kuna nyimbo za injili bado nimetoa.”

By the year 2013, Asango had already started expressing his musical talent in different forums including political gatherings.
His debut song for ODM Party leader Raila Odinga opened new doors in the world of entertainment.
“Kuna wakati niliimba, mheshimiwa Raila alikuja Kisii Sports Club, hapo ndio niliimba wimbo wangu wa kwanza na nikaanza kupokea hela – hiyo ikanipa motisha sana kuweza kufuatilia na kutambua talanta yangu iwapo itafanya kazi.”

Amid the interview with Nyamwembe Dennis, Asango opened up about his strenuous journey into the world of entertainment.
“Nilivyokuambia, usanii una mambo mingi ambayo yanataka ujitume, utafute hela, kuna kusafiri sana, studioni gharama, kila kitu ni gharama, imenichukua muda kufikia hapa. Kufikia sasa wimbo ambao nimeimba na umegonga vyombo vya habari ni huu wimbo nimeimba Simba Arati, Simba Netaya.”

Among other challenges, the now-deceased father of Asango was against the idea of him becoming a musician.
At some point, he broke Asango’s radio in an attempt to shift his focus from music to education.
“Nilipoanza kuimba babangu mzazi hakuwa anataka hiyo hadithi ya kuimba, alikuwa ananisukuma sana, anavunja radio, anavunja vyombo zangu, anasema uimbaji si kazi, fuatilia masomo,laiti angalikuwapo sahii ajionee ya kwamba mbali na masomo, uimbaji ni kipaji ambacho kinaweza kukuweka mbali.”

It is now about a decade since Asango started his music career, and he says the long wait for success is worth it.
Simba Netaya song by Asango Nyabuyoma loosely translates to ‘Simba Arati is light to the community.’
Surprisingly, Asango came up with the song Simba Netaya without a signed deal. Even so, the appreciative Governor Arati has already paid him at least Ksh. 100,000 for the street banger.
Asked what he would love to receive as a present from Governor Simba Arati, Asango mentioned a couple of wishes.
Firstly, he expressed an urgent need for a car to help him manage frequent travelling.
Secondly, he would love Arati to make his dream of a ‘traditional music tour’ to the United States come true.
