June 23, 2026 - 10:07 AM
Congolese musician Mekanisi Modero is dead. His death was announced by his former bandmate at Afrisa International, guitarist Dino Vangu, on his social media page. Although he did not divulge details of the death, Mekanisi Modero, one of the longest-serving members of Afrisa International, had been living in the USA for several decades, where he died. “I just learned from the USA of the death yesterday, 21 June 2026, of our colleague, friend, and brother, artist, musician, saxophonist, and show presenter Mekanisi Zemba Gabwisa Modero.

SUKUMA BIN ONGARO
June 10, 2026 - 11:04 AM
In 2024, Kenya's President, William Ruto, reorganized his cabinet to accommodate elements of the opposition in a bid to nip in the bud a looming insurgency by a youthful generation, amid fears that their rebellion would morph into a revolution. One of the opposition members elected to serve in the cabinet was Wycliffe Oparanya from Western Kenya. As it happens with politicians, such achievements are feted with a goat-eating party back at home. In this case, Oparanya hosted a party at his rural home, and the most celebrated musician from the region was invited to grace the event. Wilson Onzere Ongaro, also known by the moniker Sukuma Bin Ongaro, was the man invited to grace the event as......
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 excerpt from the song “Nabali Misere,” which translates to “I am married to......
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......

He began his music career in the early 1960s. Cliff was a pioneer in bringing the reggae genre to an international audience, notably through his starring role and contribution to the soundtrack of the 1972 cult-classic film, The Harder They Come. His career......
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......

THE SHAKESPEARE OF AFRICAN MUSIC
March 03, 2025 - 04:41 PM
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". Ordinarily, it is credited as a Verckys Kiamuangana composition, as stated in the LP. However, Nyakwar......
