Collins Njuguna, affectionately known as Collo Blue, has taken the internet by storm with his viral hit "Up Burukanga" (Flying), an infectious anthem born from his dual life as a mortuary worker and grief psychologist. Collo Blue has made an entire nation throw their hands in the air. In a country that often grapples with economic hardship and political tension, the "Up Burukanga" dance challenge has provided a necessary, unifying catharsis. "Dancing and working in a mortuary were actually complementing each other," Collo Blue explained in a recent interview. Through the heavy doors of the mortuary, Collo Blue has proven that the human spirit will always find a way to fly.
