Why Many Kenyans Aren’t Seeing Kenyan Music in Their Spotify Wrapped, And Why the Conversation Is Bigger Than Screenshots

Written by Edwin Agesa on Monday, 8 December 2025.

Ruto-Era Green Light: Ritz-Carlton Maasai Mara Safari Camp Sparks Conservation Storm

Monday, December 8, 2025 The recent approval, believed to be issued under the directive of William Ruto, allowing the Ritz-Carlton to erect structures inside what many consider a migration corridor in the Maasai Mara National Reserve has renewed a fierce debate in Kenya.

The 98th Mashemeji Derby: AFC Leopards Silence Proud Gor in Derby Drama

Sunday, December 7, 2025 — the grand old rivalry of Kenyan football once again lit up Nyayo National Stadium, as AFC Leopards stunned arch-rivals and hosts, Gor Mahia, by the narrowest but most telling of margins: 1–0.

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 […]
