Marco Joseph, a member of the Zabron Singers, has passed away due to a heart attack, according to his family

Marco Joseph, a member of the Zabron Singers group, has passed away.

On August 21, 2024, Mr. Joseph, who was in his forties, succumbed to a cardiac condition while undergoing treatment at the Jakaya Kikwete Cardiac Institute (JKCI) at Muhimbili National Hospital.

Victoria Zabron, Marco’s sister, disclosed that her brother became ailing one week prior to a performance in Kisumu during a telephone interview with Nairobi News.

“He was compelled to remain in the area in order to receive treatment.” According to the physicians, his heart was in poor condition and necessitated emergency surgery. Unfortunately, he did not survive the cardiac treatment he was receiving at Muhimbili Hospital last night. The funeral will be conducted at the residence of his relative in Mikocheni. Victoria stated, “The body is currently at the mortuary.”

According to Japeh Zabron, the Chairman of the Zabron Singers Choir, his sibling suffered a heart attack while they were on a mission trip to Kenya a few days ago.

He was initially treated at Bugando Referral Hospital; however, he was subsequently transferred to JKCI for additional treatment prior to his passing while under medical supervision.

He was recognized for his contributions to the group’s repertoire of songs, which included “Swetie Sweetie,” “Sisi Ndio Wale,” “Uko Single,” “Nakutuma Wimbo,” and “Mkono Wake Bwana.”

The singer was also eulogized by their younger sibling, Japhet Zabron.

“I have recently uploaded some lyrics to this platform.” I am deeply disheartened; however, I am confident that God is in control. No, no! This is appalling. No, my God.

Zabron initially gained recognition with their chart-topping single “Mkono Wa Bwana.”

Subsequently, they have entertained their audience with numerous additional hits.

Victoria Zabron, Jamila Dotto, Samuel Joseph, Semroza Godfrey, Grace Madata, and Joyce Zabron are also members of the ensemble.

Japhet, who was a member of the group at the time, provided some insight into its early days during a previous conversation:

“We visited a studio during our high school years and recorded a song.” We were unable to pay for studio time and were compelled to borrow money from others. The recording was so subpar that we were embarrassed to release the song. We were on the brink of surrendering.
