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!
