Written by Edwin Agesa on Thursday, 19 February 2026. The Kenyan music industry is witnessing a definitive shift in the power dynamic between artists and the traditional structures of stardom.

But on March 6th, the rap duo Wadagliz is set to prove that […]

Why Taarab, Ohangla & Luhya Music Feel So Familiar — A Deep Dive by Bloga Flani

When you take a closer listen to genres like Taarab, Ohangla, and traditional Luhya music, something clicks — a familiar rhythm, a storytelling style that feels intentional, and a habit of naming names unapologetically. These East African musical forms, though culturally distinct, share a powerful trait: they are communal mirrors, often telling long, winding stories that reflect real-life social dynamics, beefs, praises, and gossip. Let’s start with Taarab, deeply rooted […]

Kenyan RnB: The Fastest Rising Genre Since Genge’s Golden Era

  Kenyan RnB is experiencing a powerful resurgence, fast becoming the country’s most promising genre with a dedicated, niche audience driving its momentum. While other genres like Gengetone and Kapuka have made noise, few have matched the structured growth and consistency seen in the RnB movement today.

What Went Wrong with Gengetone – And How Arbantone Took a Different Path

Gengetone burst onto the Kenyan music scene around 2018 like a sonic revolution—raucous, youthful, and unapologetically raw. Acts like Ethic, Sailors, Boondocks Gang, and Ochungulo Family dominated the airwaves with viral anthems that spoke to Nairobi’s street culture, using Sheng, provocative lyrics, and infectious beats. For a moment, Gengetone was not just music—it was a movement. But by 2021, its flame began to fade. So, what went wrong? Bloga Flani […]

Album Review: Wakadinali – Victims of Madness 2.0 Aging Like Fine Wine

Wakadinali dropped their second installment of the what is turning out to be an album franchise in Victims of Madness. As Bloga Flani, my first listen came with a bit of disappointment especially with the choice of beats and sometimes lack of flow. Then came the second, the third, fourth and now anytime I log onto YouTube that is the only album I have on repeat. Wakadinali have always been […]

Why Events are Important for Kenyan Artists

Events play a vital role in the growth, visibility, and sustainability of Kenyan artists. As Bloga Flani explores, whether it’s a live concert, art exhibition, open mic night, cypher, or community festival, events provide a physical platform where artists connect directly with their audiences. In Kenya's evolving creative economy, where digital reach is important but in-person engagement is still king, events can be a game-changer. First, events offer artists exposure. […]
