Mt kenya east should have defended hiyo deputy and not allowed kikuyus to roll them over to opposition

Black music has over 10,000 genres; you can never sample them all in your lifetime. Every tribe, which totals over 4000 in the globe, has their few genres. Even in America, Black folk from state to state have their own style. Google a tribe and learn their music, and you will be amazed. SA tribes alone seem to have a boatload! Xigaza from the Tsonga environs alone is addictive! The Bakuba Tribe of Congo are legends. Kenyan tribes, I think Luo's ohangla topples the rest, but the rest are also great in their own rights. Bikutsi, mapuka, coupe decale, makasi, Kizomba in West Africa are bangers, but I thing Congo and SA remain kings African Music!

Muziki chonjo sana. I like the Botsawanan joint. Very relaxing.

Very true. When it comes to music and sports sisi nyeuthis rule. Hata rock.and roll has black roots. God gave us good hand-eye coordination for sports and dancing, good rhythm and unmatched creative talent. The interesting thing is the best music worldwide always seems to come from places with the most suffering.

DRC - lingala - a tragedy of a country since independence with no roads to date between major cities
Naija - Afrobeat, Ogene, Fela Kuti etc  -- military and civilian dictatorships and zero development to speak of to date. Fuel shortages yet 5th largest producer of oil worldwide.
South Africa - Kwaito, Amapiano and so much more - The Boers have sat on them for 400 years
The US south - Blues, Jazz - slavery, suffering

It seems when nyeuthi is in pain, he produces the best music to capture it. Or to escape life's miseries.

We in Kenya are not so good in music because we are all very, very fat. Even the mama mbogas Njamba spoke of are huge in size eating big, big, biiig daily, and are used to soft life of running water, stima tokens tutuluu, a functioning democracy, peace and roads swaaaa all over the nation.

Even my Turkana people in Eliye are now also starting to get fat because food is plenty. We seldom hear of famine relief anywhere in Kwiinya any more.

That's why Kwiinyans whine about peni mbili things like soprano voices. When stima is in your house, you eat daily getting very fat, maji tiririiii from the tap/borehole/stream or harvesting tank/well, your kids/brothers/sisters are in school studying stululu and you even have loose money to buy masks, Kwiinyan flags, smartphones for selfies and good running shoes for mahandamanos, of course you have nothing too bad to cry about except soprano and so on.

The irony is that many Kenyans die from communicable.diseases that can be solved with proper hygiene but nobody protests those deaths. In fact when they looted Quickmart I am told they took the electronics and left the food. I saw huuge amounts of unga ya chapati trampled on the ground trampluuuu on TV after they had done their work. Which also means they have stima where they will plug in those electronics. I may be wrong on that (the looting of electronics alone) though.

Bottom line, Kwiinyans are spoilt hence not so good music. Notice none of the mahandamanos are ever about development, inflation, economy, food, homelessness. Almost every single Kwiinyan has a huge ugali to eat at night and a warm safe place to sleep except for the poorest of the poor whom we of course should assist. But whom Genzs will never protest for. That huge huge ugali daily and soft life is what leads to our bad music.

Church people, educated folks, business people, and peace-loving family folk will band together and decimate these loser young people. A group of opposing Gen Zers are registering to counter this violent group in subsequent Maandamano, especially mountain okuyus who want a stable business environment!

Lol kwani kalenjins don't have businesses?

They do, but in local barazas they passed a jungle law that those that vandalize people's property get their hands cut off with an axe. That reduced burning, looting, and property destruction by 99%. Very hard to see a Nandi business burned to ground or looted because consequences are extremly dire!

Central has always had riots. It only now there is big urban youth bulge that makes any protests hard to control. You should never travel during protests. It is very unsafe and things can go from calm to really dangerous in just a few minutes. During Moi time it used to be open season for motorists in certain roads in kiambu. Goons would mount road blocks and rob motorists
