¨Make music that even your kids can proudly listen to¨ Tanzanian artist, Ten Ballz to Gengetone artistes

Tanzanian, Kenyan-based singer, Ten Ballz believes Kenya´s Gengetone music is fine, but the content is just a miss.

The East African artist commented that artistes need to produce music they will be proud of 20 or so years down the line.

The kind of legacy an artist and every other person leaves behind, is crucial and remains in history.

I love speaking the truth and Gengetone is not a bad sound. However, the message might not be right. You need to do something that you´ll be praised for when you are alive and when you die, when you are young and old.

Looking back, an artist needs to be proud of the music they produced which he believes Gengetone artistes are currently not thinking about.

The kind of content should be the type that even one´s kids can listen to and still appreciate in future.

Don´t do something that you´ll not be proud of when you are 50 years old. When you have family and kids, will you still be able to mention whatever you are mentioning now in your music? You cannot tell me that a respected corporate company with VIPs can sing those words.

Content that can be sang regardless of space and situation – both in the formal and informal sectors.

It´s good music but they should change the content.

Apparently, Mr Shakara divulged that if Gengetone was being done in Tanzania, it would have been way banned by now.

If it was in Tanzania, they´d have been banned.

Insisting:

Artistes need to educate the community.
