Missed the Kalamashaka flow? They come alive once again
I don’t know if you guys miss the Kalamashaka sound as a trio as much as I do. Old is gold and this applies to music all so well. Hip hop from back in the days when it was still at its junior years in Kenya was worth spending the whole day listening to.

This however will not stop us from celebrating some of the best songs that came from this legendary hip hop group that inspired most of the present day rappers and it seems that someone else out there agrees with me. A series of old legendary music from Kalamashaka has been uploaded to YouTube and is now available for everyone.
