Kalanda’s younger brother John Katana Harrison said the decision had been arrived on after careful consideration.
Kalanda, who succumbed to a long battle with cancer on Tuesday, had lost his eyesight at the time of death due to the illness.
Them Mushrooms founding band leader Ted Kalanda Harrison, who died on Tuesday at the age of 72, will be buried next Saturday at the Mushroom Villa in Kaloleni, Kilifi County.
According to family members, Kalanda’s wish was that he should be buried three days after his demise. But the family settled on next Saturday to allow more people to attend the funeral.
