Billy Sarro Harrison is a veteran Kenyan musician and a foundational member of the legendary band Them Mushrooms, which he co-founded in 1969 alongside his brothers Teddy Kalanda, George Zirro, and John Katana. As the band's long-standing bass guitarist and a key vocalist, Sarro has provided the rhythmic and harmonic backbone for the group’s signature "Mombasa Sound," a vibrant fusion of coastal Chakacha, Benga, and Reggae. Throughout a career spanning over five decades, he has been instrumental in the band's international success, most notably participating in the 1980 recording of the global hit "Jambo Bwana" and remaining a constant presence through the group's various iterations and its 1987 move from Mombasa to Nairobi. Following the passing of his brother Teddy Kalanda in 2024, Sarro continues to anchor the band alongside John Katana, preserving their musical heritage while mentoring the next generation of performers to ensure the longevity of one of East Africa’s most iconic cultural institutions.
