Bio

Muhammadu Gambo, also known as Gambo Mai Wakar Bayari or Gambu as nicknamed by children, was a Hausa musician from Nigeria. As a child, he was known to be troublesome, but he also showed a passion for hunting. It was during one of his hunting trips that he met some thieves, with whom he began singing. Despite some misconceptions that his songs encouraged thievery, he actually mentioned the names of known thieves and recounted stories of their demise. Beyond his involvement with the thieves, little else is known about Gambo's life. However, his story serves as a reminder that even those who may have had a rocky start in life can still make an impact in their own unique way.
