Why don’t we keep it local as in we embrace that spirit of brotherhood when it comes to music, entertainment wise we be more patriotic.
Kenyan airwaves is like a father who heaps praises on other people’s children but will never give credit to his children.
Our musicians and actors are superb, we have the best actors and musicians in Africa and the world. But we poorly consume our products over foreign “quality”.
People listen to music that sounds good to them, it is not a good like ugali where we say we have to eat Kenyan maize
Most of Kenyan music is shit. Part bangers tu.
Good talented Kenyan artists have a good following and live off music.
Music is also a business. If the product you are selling haishiki market then hautauza. Our airwaves zinacheza those foreign music more because hao wameshika kenyan market and wakicheza ngoma zao wanapata views that attracts advertisers.
Local artists wanafaa kurudi drawing board, do experiments until they comeout with sounds that zinashika.
You can’t force people to listen to what is boring or what they don’t want
It’s upon the sellers (musicians) to know the market needs and adjust accordingly.
People are not listening to Kenyan music because it’s not good (to them). So tell Kenyan musicians to sing what people will like if they want airplay
Radio presenters also side hustle as event organiser.
