THE GIFTED SINGER WITH STRIKING CHARM
May 08, 2026 - 02:00 PM
Tall, light in complexion, and handsome, Ignace Mpoyi Kanyinda had a charming look that made him a star attraction in all OK Jazz (OKJ) concerts that he graced. Women scrambled for space to catch a closer glimpse, while some screamed in excitement. That wasn’t all about Djo Mpoyi, however. Behind the looks was a wonderful singer with an expressive high tenor that uniquely laced compositions with emotion. Bolingo ebeti ngai fimbo, oh mama ah, (This love is battering me) Ngai naleli eh, oh mama ah (It makes me cry) Nazangi molongani, oh cheri eh (Deprives me of a confidante) This is an e...
THE DEATH OF THE MASTERPIECE
May 05, 2026 - 02:00 AM
Let’s be honest: your "Recommended" playlist is starting to feel like a dream you never asked for. You’re scrolling through TikTok, and your favorite influencer suddenly gets caught up in a massive public scandal that has everyone talking. Before the dust even settles, they’re dropping a "club banger" to capitalize on the drama. You hop over to the "Trending in Kenya" tab to see what’s hot, and every single track has that same shiny, predictable beat and a hook that starts before you can even take a breath. It’s not your imagination; we are in a tug-of-war between music that comes from the heart and songs made by a computer program. We’ve traded the......

A RISE TO THE TOP AGAINST ALL ODDS
May 12, 2025 - 02:49 PM
The Story of Malian music star, Salif Keita In a recent interview with Jabulani Radio, one physically disabled musician recounted every detail of his musical journey, explaining how he had a difficult childhood. However, he later requested that nothing about his disability be included in his story. This is clear evidence that, despite living in a more enlightened society, disability is still viewed through the same lens as it was in the past, when communities hid such children under the assumption that they were bad omens or brought shame to the family. These are the kinds of challenges that Salif Keita faced. Social ostracism, health complications due to albinism, and being born into a......

Bango bakanga biso mayele boye, (They've hoodwinked us this much) Nkisi ya bankoko bango baboyaka, (Traditional/herbal medication they declare evil) Bikeko ya bankoko bango bandimaka te, (All sculptures of our ancestors, they do not accept) Kasi na ndako ya Nzambe, biso tomonaka, (In church, we see sculptures as well) Tokosambela bikeko bitondo ndako, (We worship in churches full of sculptures, and this is right according to them) Mais bikeko yango se mindele, (But the sculptures in these churches are those of a white man) This is a translated excerpt from the song "Nakomitunaka".

February 06, 2025 - 07:47 AM
Sporadic sounds of gunfire pierced through the tranquil night of Brazzaville on 22nd February 1972, with noise gaining crescendo with every passing minute as dawn approached. When morning finally came reluctantly, the information had already spread that there had been an attempted coup d’etat against the government of Marien Ngouabi, who had been Republic of Congo president since 1968.However, forces loyal to the incumbent thwarted the attempt, with the military capturing the dissidents. Among those listed as arrested was Franklin Boukaka, a musician who had made a name for himself both in Brazzaville and Kinshasa and was one of the musical superstars of the time. In a strange twist......
