Police now hunting for “Taka Taka” singer Alvindo after he defied ban and released video 

“Taka Taka” singer Alvindo is now a wanted man following the song’s video release last week despite being banned by the Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB).

Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) in collaboration with Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB) officers have launched a manhunt for the singer after he released the video last week.

Operation

The film regulator banned the song two weeks ago on grounds of obscenity and promoting violence against women.

“KFCB bans the song due to its obscene and degrading lyrics that advocate for violence against women by equating them to trash,” said KFCB CEO Ezekiel Mutua in a directive.

“No DJ should play the song either on the broadcast station or in entertainment joints. Broadcasting, exhibition, distribution (including online) or possession of the song ‘Takataka’ by Alvin aka Alvindo is a criminal offense,” he added.

According to Mutua, Alvindo will be arrested and the video used as exhibit in court.

“The culprits will serve as an example that the war against unrated films and dirty content is not empty talk. There will be nowhere to hide for people who break the law with impunity in the name of creativity.” said Mutua.

Hot video: DJ Shiti, actor Shaniqwa, KRG star in Alvindo’s illegal song ‘Taka Taka’ 

Singer Alvindo who is behind the viral banned song Taka Taka is not backing down from Kenya Films and Classification Board (KFCB) and it’s chairman Ezekiel Mutua push of making sure the song doesn’t hit airwaves.

The body banned Taka Taka saying that it’s a song that degrades women and shouldn’t by played by all the DJs and local media.

“The KFCB has made a decision to restrict the song Takataka by Alvin aka Alvindo. The song produced by Fast Cash MusicKe is restricted due to its obscene and degrading lyrics that advocate for violence against women by equating them to trash,” the KFCB boss said.

Superstars

Alvindo however, said that everyone in Kenya has the freedom of expression so there’s no point of banning the song. He confessed that the song was something that happened to him and wasn’t meant to incite any violence. His manager, Eric, added that they spent Ksh 1 million for the video therefore it had to be released.

“The video is ready and we could be releasing it next week. We spent a lot of money on it. We invested over KSh 1 million for the video so it does not make sense cancelling it. Mutua banned the audio all because he misunderstood it,” Eric said. 

The video has the likes of DJ Shiti, Shanikwa and KRG the Don.

‘Taka Taka’ producer fires back after Ezekiel Mutua banned song: Where were you when Alvindo was doing manual jobs at Burma Market?

The man who produced viral and controversial hit “Taka Taka” has fired back at Ezekiel Mutua and the Kenya Film Classification Board following the ban of the song on Tuesday.

Mutua banned the song for degrading women and summoned Alvindo, the singer, with immediate effects.

“The song produced by FastCash Music Group is restricted due to its obscene and degrading lyrics that advocate for violence against women by equating them to trash.” said Mutua

“Unakataa kuwa demu wangu. . Nakuroga unakufa…. Roho chafu kama ya shetani. Nakuja kwa mazishi yako kukula na kukunywa nikucheke ukizikwa…”

“‘Takataka’ is characterized by crude language that objectifies women and glorifies hurting them as a normal reaction to rejection,” said Mutua.

Jokes

But KRG the Don, who produced the song after sponsoring Alvindo, said that banning it was a huge mistake since it a source of income for the young money.  He called the move the joke of the year.

Here is what he had to say;

This is the best joke I have seen today.

“Where were you when Alvindo was doing manual jobs at Burma Market? Since you wanna spoil his career do you have an idea of what he should be doing to pay his bills?”KRG posed.

“This is a big let down to the industry at large for giving such big positions to negative minded people who do nothing to make our industry better than yesterday’s.”
