Philip Yegon known by the stage name Bamwai, is a Kenyan singer-songwriter from the Kipsigis tribe which is contingent of the Kalenjin ethnic group and is celebrated and famed for writing and singing the sensational Kalenjin signature hit-song, “Emily Chepchumba”.
"Emily Chepchumba" is a love song written and recorded under the same record label name by the Kalenjin secular local musician Bamwai. It is sung in the Kipsigis dialect of the Kalenjin language. The song was inspired by a young beautiful Elgeiyo woman the musician met at Kaptarakwa in Elgeiyo-Marakwet in Western Kenya in 2004. The girl asked him to compose a song about their love. It is a song about two lovers separated by long distances, the longing and the desire by the two to meet again. In contrast, the home of Bamwai and the home of Emily Chepchumba can be approximated to only 250 kilometers and thus, socio-economic themes are manifested in the song. The song has gone on to earn a reputation in Kenya and Uganda as personifying the Kalenjin people as it is a timeless favourite among Kalenjin-speaking people as well as a go-to track in the Kenyan pop culture.
