Top Ghanian reggae star dedicates a song to Nairobi with the coolest video

When you talk about real African reggae artistes, the names Alfa Blondie and Lucky Dube, just to mention a few, should not miss your tongue. Many reasons fall into this, the shallowest but relevant of them all being the fact that they do not try to sing like our Jamaican brothers (that is in the patwa slung).

Another name that should now be on your lips when talking about real and natural African reggae artistes, should be Ghana’s Rocky Dawuni. He is one of the most respected and recognised artistes in West Africa and is now slowly building his fan base here. But if you are a reggae fan, you probably know about him already.

A month or so ago, Rocky Dawuni was in Nairobi for a short period of time. He and Juliani were working on a similar projects that is yet to be launched and in the process, he managed to make time for recording and shooting a video for a new song. A song dedicated to Nairobi, expressing his love through his vocals and vibes. Reminding Kenyans just how much we have, which should be in our minds through out this election period.

The song is titled ‘Nairobi, I Love You’ and was launched yesterday. The video was shot right here in Nairobi – parts of it in Kibera but most of it in the CBD. The video takes us through his journey in this beautiful city, meeting people like Chris Kirubi and even walking along the Kibera Railway lines.

This is a must watch, especially for the proud Kenyans and Africans out there.
