The song dubbed ‘Inauma Sana’ is a reflection of their collective pain at losing Marco, a pain that continues to be felt across the gospel world.
The video of the song features the choir members dressed in black to symbolize their mourning of their departed colleague who passed on while undergoing treatment for a heart condition at Muhimbili National Hospital in Tanzania.

Leaning on their Christian faith, the group grieves the death of Marco, turning to God with questions and prayers.
“This has made me cry a lot, this has hurt me deeply, this time I am really hurting, my God help me. Why have you left me like this, in this I am deeply hurt, I confess I really need you, my God help me…” Goes part of the song.

They also mention great plans that they had together before the cruel hand of death struck.
“If you had asked me, I wouldn’t have agreed to let my dear one go, my beloved friend to go, God, no, it’s not okay with me. The plans we had made have come to an end, for you it’s okay, but I’m left alone, what will I do, I’m left alone, God, no, it’s not okay with me…” part of the song’s introductory verses sing.
Known for their soulful and youthful energy, Zabron Singers are a household name in Swahili gospel music with a number of hit songs to their name.
'Mkono wa Bwana', 'Sweetie Sweetie', was the group’s big break that saw them expand their reach.
