A special event in honour of gospel legend Mary Atieno is set for today at the St Andrews PCEA Church in Nairobi. 

The event, organized by Larry Liza and Hellen Nell, is aimed at celebrating Mary’s almost four decades musical journey. Among the gospel  artistes expected to grace Mary Atieno's event today are Dr Sarah K, Esther Mutua Mwangi, Esther Wahome, Mary Wambui and Faustin Munishi amongst many others.

Some of Mary’s popular songs include Hakuna Mungu Mwingine, Adam na Eva, Sodoma na Gomorrah and Njooni tumsifu. Through her music, she has inspired many other up-and-coming artistes as she doubles as a teacher in Nairobi.
