The XYZ Show Changed Kenya. It Was Never Built to Make Money.

By Ronny Choge Do you remember the XYZ Show? The one that premiered on Kenyan TV screens and served us political satire in concentrated humor, week after week? For those who lived through it, the latex puppets and their razor-sharp send-ups of the political class weren't just entertainment — they were a cultural fixture, arriving well ahead of their time. So when the show quietly went out of production, it […]

Why Kenyan DJs Must Work Closely With Kenyan Artists: A Lesson From South Africa

Written by Edwin Agesa on Monday, 28 November 2025. In any thriving music ecosystem, DJs and artists operate like two sides of the same coin. One creates the sound, the other amplifies it. In Kenya, however, this relationship has often felt disconnected, with DJs leaning heavily toward foreign music, especially South African, Nigerian, and American hits, while local artists struggle to get consistent visibility on the decks. The result is […]

How Anguka Nayo Revolutionized Clubbing in Kenya

Written by Edwin Agesa on Monday, 24 November 2025. In my opinion, nothing shifted the Kenyan clubbing experience quite like Anguka Nayo by Wadagliz. Before that song hit the airwaves, club culture was heavily influenced by dancehall. Nights out revolved around grinding, and honestly, that was the main attraction. The energy of the dancehall riddims made grinding the highlight of any party, and it defined what most of us loved about clubbing […]

Crowds Don’t Vote: The Numbers Behind Sifuna’s Presidential Risk

By Ronny Choge There's no denying it — Edwin Sifuna draws a crowd. From Taita Taveta to Trans Nzoia, the Linda Mwananchi caravan has turned quiet market towns into rally grounds, and the man once known mainly as ODM's sharpest television voice is now being spoken of as a possible flagbearer, a possible running mate, a possible kingmaker — depending on which room you're standing in. Luhya elders have symbolically […]

Ol Kalou Has Spoken: What a By-Election in Nyandarua Just Told Kenya About 2027

By Ronny Choge Last Thursday, 41,656 people out of 73,480 registered voters in Ol Kalou walked into 144 polling stations and did what by-elections rarely get credit for doing — they gave the whole country a preview of the road to 2027. On paper, this was a simple mini-poll. A seat fell vacant after the death of MP David Kiaraho in March, and the constituency needed a new representative. In […]

LSK Opposes Calls to Delay Ol Kalou By-Election, Wants Electoral Offenders Prosecuted

By Brighton Okoth The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) has urged the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to proceed with the Ol Kalou parliamentary by-election, saying allegations of voter bribery, violence and other electoral offences should be addressed through the law rather than by postponing the poll. In a statement released on Monday, the society argued that cancelling or delaying the election would unfairly deny constituents their constitutional right […]

Nearly Two Decades Later, Ken Koast Brings ‘Baridi Kali’ to Life

Some songs are created in a day. Others take years to find their moment. For Kenyan lyricist Ken Koast, Baridi Kali belongs to the latter. The heartfelt Hip-Hop love ballad arrives with a story nearly two decades in the making, combining nostalgic production, honest songwriting, and a seamless collaboration between artists from Kenya's Coast and Nairobi. Inspired by both the biting chill of Kenya's July cold season and the emotional […]
