Popular Mwanzele singer and composer Bin Kalama is dead.

Kalama died on Wednesday evening at the Coast General hopital where he had been rushed for treatment after complaining of chest problems.

Kalama had also been living with a fractured bone on his left hand.

Early this year, Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho came to his aid and sponsored his surgery at the Kijabe mission hospital.
