If You Really Care About Kenyan Music, Then You Will Avail Yourself for This Dope Event at This Picturesque Location

“I hate Kenyan music, it’s so boring, it’s so mediocre, there is just no lyrical prowess, no message, no nothing,” That’s the kind of stuff your typical millennial will be saying at the bar before dancing to the latest song by Diamond and P square.

And then I will be there wondering where we went wrong as Kenyans? Why can’t we just support our own? I was in Tanzania a couple of years back and trust me the playlist in most clubs was purely Tanzanian, there was absolutely no room for the Kanye West’s and Rick Ross’s of this world.

Come to Kenya however and the playlist ranges from Trap, Nigerian music, some South African Hip Hop and that new beat by Wasafi. Probably only Bank Otuch by Octopizzo will make the cut.

Now I sit and ask myself how exactly we want Kenyan music to be standard if we don’t show the slightest intention to support it. How do we expect our artists to pull of some level of tenacity on the beat and finish it off with a kick ass video knowing very well nobody will watch it? How do you expect them to improve on their lyrics if you don’t offer any positive criticism whatsoever and all you do is bash? And lastly, how do you expect the international market to believe in us whilst we don’t believe in ourselves?

I’m no angel myself but I have decided to make the first step. I have decided to make it my mission to be attending all shows by Kenyan artists. I started off last week where I started off by attending a jazz night hosted by Chris Bitok at Kiza lounge before proceeding to the star studded Pacho party which was live at club romours.

Now next month, on the 6th just to be specific I’m attending a Mugithi night somewhere in the heart of magadi in an attempt to support my Kikuyu brethren. I’m asking you join me for a fun filled weekend full of great music, adventure and possibilities.

For only Ksh 14,500, you get transport to and fro including a train ride from Kajiado to Magadi, A two man camping tent, mattresses, pillows and beddings, Full Board meals and breakfast: Lunch, BBQ Dinner, and Breakfast. Wait, there is more. Magadi conservancy Entrance fees, Mineral drinking water and snacks in the train. These don’t forget are to be accompanied by a Mugithi Live Event ticket and we can finally get demystify this long held assumption about Mugithi nights.

After such an eventful event, you want to relax and unwind, you know rest easy. Does swimming come off as a great remedy for that? Of course it does so your 14,500 again secures you access to Magadi Sports club where you can get to enjoy a swim amid other co-curricular activities.

I know it’s pretty tempting so you are probably wondering if they have special offers just in case you decide to tag along all your friends. Guess what? They actually do. If you are 10 people for example, you get a live goat, barbeque spot and a Maasai chef.

They say change starts with you so join me and together let’s make a statement. Log into Lake Magadi Adventures for more.
