Every so often, you’ll hear someone rubbishing the new crop of local musicians and explaining that they lack content.<\/p>\n

Also read: New-age musicians have killed Nigerian music and that\u2019s a huge win<\/a><\/p>\n

I always find this line of thought interesting because I’ve never seen or heard any of the new-age musicians asking people to listen to the songs that they churn out because they have content.<\/p>\n

You and I know that these songs are purely for entertainment, they are meant to put you in a good mood.<\/p>\n

As such, it would be wrong to claim that Kenyan music lacks content because most of the popular songs in the country are from new-age artists.<\/p>\n

The truth is that there is no shortage of good music in Kenya. If you are the kind of person who looks for a message in a song, then you’ll be spoilt for choice.<\/p>\n

If, for instance, the new Kenyan sound does not appeal to you then you can listen to the likes of Sarabi who make conscious music.<\/p>\n

Better still, you can identify another genre that you easily resonate with and let those of us who enjoy the new Kenyan sound be.<\/p>\n

We have come far as a country, musically speaking, and we have the new-age artists to thank for the strides that we’ve made.<\/p>\n

Gone are the days when local clubs, radio and TV stations would play one Nigerian song after the other and in my opinion that\u2019s a huge win.<\/p>\n

The focus has really shifted to local musicians, especially the new-age artists so much so that you could say that they helped in killing Nigerian music.<\/p>\n

So, instead of castigating them every chance you get, support them!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
