How Much Do You Know About Reggae Music?

Reggae is one of the greatest genres of music, if not the greatest. Infact, like Hip Hop, Reggae is more of a lifestyle. Celebrated all over the world, reggae music has definitely played its part in changing the world. Teaching unity and love, it has a huge fan base all over the globe.

Kenya has a large number of reggae fans and suporters. Just like Asia, majority of the Kenyan citizens are reggae die hard fans. It is however very sad and unfortunate that our own reggae artistes are not well recognised and appreciated as are the Jamaican artistes here in Kenya.
Incase you are not aware, we have plenty of reggae artistes, among them are Bafu Chafu, Levisil, Shamir, Fireson, Ousmane and some of the Ukoo Flani members just to mention a few. These artistes have done lots of songs that unfortunately do not receive much airplay. The lucky ones are those that are already established in the music industry like Nazizi and Wyre. Other artistes simply avoid this genre due to poor marketing and reception.
Kenyan reggae artistes suffer neglet in concerts and other events, main reason being distruction of peace and great usage of drugs (especialy marijuana). I guess we, the fans are part of the problem… a huge part infact.
So, as the politicians usualy say, change starts from yourself, as a fan. Let’s try and make reggae music a part of our daily lives.
Bless… yes!
