AKOTHEE RELEASES NEW VIDEO- “PASHE”

#NEW MUSIC VIDEO

Kenya rocks! And Kenya music rocks! I am glad discussions are on-going everywhere on Kenyan music that has rapidly grown up and out. A thriving music scene exists throughout Kenya with new local styles. And Akothee’s latest release- “pashe” incorporates tales of the past with sounds from the present.

The song is well shot and the village scenes also enhance the video. The vigorous dances of Akothee and her girls set the clip’s high tempo. The story is about “pashe”- a guy who lives larger than life and has managed to convince everyone of his good life; yet on the contrary he is a poor person.
The change of dressing from kitenge on some scenes to tights and white tops while dancing also worked great and the director does a commendable job- balancing the video exposure and the final mix down.

And in a rather characteristic fashion borrowed from his hit song ‘kwata kawaya’; gospel star Mbuvi has again release a fast and highly dramatized video for his latest song ‘mutui museo’; which loosely translates to “good neighbor”-check it out!
