btw thanx a million for posting the knaan freestyle. i am a big fan of the guy(as a lyricist an artist i rank him very high) and i wish kenyan radio stations would play his music more coz the guy is pure talent. K’NAAN THE DUSTY FOOT PHILOSOPHER!!!!!!!!!!

keep up the good work.

I hear you on the share of voice on this website – I share Kenyan music a lot more than any other genre because of course I have better access to Kenyan artists and entertainers, but more so because I admire the new up rise. While its inspiring to love and appreciate Kenyan music, I think there is a large database of wonderful music we are all missing out on and we can learn and share sounds from these other tunes if we open up our minds and hearts. That’s the single reason I share some West African tunes here and there.

As far as Ali Kiba is concerned, I personally wasn’t involved with taking Ali Kiba to Atlanta (Kiba was a TOD phenomenon), I think the fact that many Kenyans loved his hit Cinderella it made sense to bring him this year. I don’t have any real opinion about Kenyan vs Tanzanian artists being on tour, I think many promoters will give the people (the mass majority) what they want. And I think this year everyone wanted to See Ali Kiba.

I am not a promoter (I only help out my friends whenever I can in pushing their events). But I can very well understand how many promoters think… I don’t think any of these people were not keeping it Kenyan – they had many Kenyan DJs, and other Kenyan performances … that point can be argued out ama? …

Thanks for the feedback though

Much love

while most of u promoters tend think that bongo music is of better quality than kenyan music(and u r entitled 2 ur opinion) u forget that kenyans love their music and thats a fact and its is all that matters.

anyways, KEEP IT KENYANISED!!!
