Behind Prince Indah’s regal look was the creative influence of Mueni, wife of famed designer Bolo Bespoke, who not only designed his outfit but also helped source materials for the bride’s attire.

High-profile guests added flair to the affair, including:

• Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga

Chant of the Day: “Jowi!”

A moment that captured the online spotlight was when Prince Indah and Jalang’o chanted “Jowi!”—a powerful Luo expression meaning buffalo. Traditionally used in funerals to honor great men, it’s also an exclamation of reverence and pride, especially for living legends.

In this context, “Jowi” was a tribute to Prince Indah as a cultural icon, a leader in the Ohangla music scene, and a man of the people.

A Missing Face Sparks Speculation

While the day brimmed with joy, fans noted the absence of Ohangla producer Wuod Fibi, a longtime collaborator and friend to Prince Indah. In response to online murmurs, Wuod Fibi shared that he was not invited to the wedding, affirming it was the artist’s personal choice. The comment was met with mixed reactions but did little to overshadow the grandeur of the day.

A Facebook Note of Gratitude

Post-ceremony, Prince Indah took to Facebook to express his gratitude:

“What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate” — Matthew 19:6
“To my lovely wife Mama Cammie; you are the light of my life, my peace, and my partner in all things. Thank you for choosing me. And to my children—Daddy loves you beyond words.”

More than a celebrity wedding, Prince Indah’s traditional ceremony was a heartfelt cultural tribute, a celebration of love, family, heritage, and identity. The balance between ancestral customs and luxurious modern expression made it a rare and unforgettable moment in Kenya’s social and musical history.

As the sun set over Migori and the rhythmic beats of Ohangla faded into the night, one truth remained clear: Prince Indah didn’t just throw a wedding he created a legacy.
