RADIO-GIRL ADELLE ONYANGO GOES INTO MUSIC

#MUSIC

Our extensive spotlight and cover on Kenyan music continues…

“Kenya’s musical history draws extensively from its 42 tribal communities and the sound of modern day Kenya is a culmination of this rich heritage. Although it cannot be painted with any one brush, this culture is today as unique and richly diversified as it ever was”- reckons UP Magazine.

Well, radio personality, poet and rapper, Adelle Onyango has moved into the mainstream music industry with her recently released track- Faded. The radio-girl has been a great pillar of support and strength for many women with her inspiring story of how she overcame a rape ordeal.

And still sticking to radio-girls; Kalekye Mumo is riding high after she released her second music video “I’m okay.” The outdoor shot video, with most scenes shot as the National Museum, shows a story of one leaving behind a frustrated life. The video starts with a dramatized scene where singer Kalekye, who is chef, decides to quit her job, thanks to frustrations caused by her over-demanding boss.

Finally, popularly known for her role in the television drama series; Mali- Maureen Koech also recently released her debut video titled “be afraid.” An afro house beat song, with a love theme, her migration from acting into music does not seem like a bad idea after all!
