Introducing: BARNABAS WAMAO

Barnabas Oroka Wamao comes to you as a chaste Tenor, second Born of the wamao’s ABC. Abigael, Barnabas, and cleopas. Barnabas is a mold of his late father (Wilfred Wamao Ongwenyi.) A musician, a teacher and Izri choir director, he captivated his son to that love of sacred songs. Barnabas hails from the great Republic of Kenya, he is a major vocalist, song writer, and producer. Praise to be almighty! Psalm 100. Currently Barnabas is working on an album “Footsteps” a solemn tribute to a man who God chose to give talent and then decided to split it in half for his son. Songs on the album are total collections of hymns that dad loved to train his choir and fortunately they happen to be those loved by most congregations. These specific hymns talk about love, peace, true and, dedication to our maker. However, have been rearranged from their original style to the next level. Many artists might perceive hymns as a forgotten case, but to Barnabas they are food to his soul, a parody uprooted from his father. “Dad’s volume 8 cassette always makes me want to cry” “Footsteps” cd would not come any better time than this, when our current society is so pe perplexed. Barnabas is tirelessly working to make sure his peers get to that kingdom of heaven, he also hopes that this music he presents will speak life to your dead issues. Barnabas first took stage at 10 with a junior choir that his dad began to train when no one else could at Nyanchwa Seventh Day Schools. (Naps) they ended up recording a single. Since then Barnabas has not rested on pulling together musical notes, in high school he joined men’s chorus later joined the jazz and ensemble which travelled to Carnegie Hall in New York City 2005. Later back in Minnesota he had a tremendous opportunity to sing in the Ordway performing Arts Center. In November 2008, Barnabas collaborated with Jamal Mathis a jazz legend (Pianist, Composer and Producer) and other gospel singers at the Dallas Convention Center for a benefit Concert. Barnabas is also looking forward to teaming up with R&J on an upcoming cd the duet (….) Barnabas is so glad to take the advent word in this generation, be it any day of the week, any minute of the hour or any second of a minute. He’s always prepared. Barnabas’s style music is being shaped day by day and hoping to be bring you more soulful music. He is unstoppable and surely this cd won’t be his last. “Foosteps” cd release. Coming to stores near you 2010. Stay tuned and May the Lord meet your needs today. “I encourage each and all to listen to music as much as you use water, for it is essential to your soul” -Barnabas Oroka Wamao
