New Kenyan Music on the Radar – OCT 17 2025

This week’s edition of New Music on the Radar captures a cross-section of sounds that define where the culture stands: intimate storytelling, sharp lyricism, and fearless experimentation. From the unlikely tenderness of Steph Kapela and Fena Gitu’s Say Less, to the charged lyrical warfare of Buruklyn Boyz and Younglouie58’s Digida, and the soulful vulnerability of Hildah Watiri’s Woman, each song reveals an artist in conversation with love, rivalry, and the restless spirit of reinvention. Together, they map the evolving soundscape […]

New Kenyan Music on the Radar OCT 10, 2025

As the nation takes a reflective pause on Mazingira Day—a moment to meditate on balance, renewal, and our place in the ecosystem of life—Kenyan artists have responded with music that mirrors the same introspection. From Khaligraph Jones peeling back layers of bravado to reveal a rare vulnerability as he publicly speaks on Sagini for the first time, to Wameyo continuing his steady rebellion against genre boundaries with unflinching precision, the week’s releases feel like a sonic map of emotional and […]

The Only Mistake Gachagua Made

Politics is full of secrecy. As the electorate, we only know what politicians tell us, not what they are thinking. For the first time ever, a politician is telling it all. The good, the bad, and the ugly, and we must admit that this is unprecedented. Former Deputy President, Rigathi Gachagua, has made it his life mission to expose all the lies and schemes that happened during his short stint in office, and nobody is safe, not even the president. […]

Whose Job Is It To Fact Check Those Running For Office?

With two years left to Kenya’s next general elections, we have already begun to see different candidates declaring their interest in the country’s top job. The constitution of Kenya outlines very clearly what the requirements are to be eligible to run for office. Despite these requirements being enshrined in the constitution and gazetted by the Independent Election and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), every election cycle, we see many people declare their interest for the top job but end up with only […]

New Music on the Radar AUG 8 (Maandy, Savara, 8th Street Gang and Harry Craze)

Welcome to the August 8th edition, where the week’s playlist feels like a sonic kaleidoscope. 8SG return with a modern concerto that stitches together traditions centuries apart yet united by the same percussive heartbeat — a rallying cry for their self-declared mission to breathe fresh fire into Kenyan drill. Maandy, meanwhile, turns the mirror inward with a dose of uncharacteristic introspection, proving even the baddest can have soft shadows. On the pitch, football has come home, or at least to […]
