Prince Job Paulo Kafeero (pictured) passed away in May 2007. He was 38.
Comrades, another legend has passed on! Prince Job Paulo Kafeero, 38, undoubtedly one of the best musicians in his genre our country has ever seen, is now forever immortalized in his song 'Walumbe Zaaya.? May the Lord rest his soul in peace.
Kafeero?s death probably marks the end of 'kadongo kamu' as we grew to know it. He was the voice and sound that shunned modernity for originality.
My main memories of the 'Golden Boy of Africa' are on the 'Family Sunday Show' here at Connect. I can't recall presenting a show that ever ended without a caller requesting a track from Paulo Kafeero; Walumbe Zaaya, Omwana w'Omuzungu, Dippo Nazzigala, Bulandina - the list is long! It's a pity I never got to interview the man like I always thought I would. Paulo, on behalf of the many, thank you for the music!

On behalf of the many who loved Prince Job Paulo Kafeero, I would like to thank you all for the time you took off to sign the condolence book. Most importantly, I would like to thank you for the love and support you showed our irreplaceable music icon. I think this is testimony that wherever we may be in this world, we are connected and still have our vibrant community feeling intact.
On 19th May 2007, Connect Uganda aired a radio programme in memory of Prince Job Paulo Kafeero, the ?Golden Boy of Africa.? This programme is now available in audio format. Click the player below to listen.
