Jua Cali, one of Kenya’s legendary genge artists, recently narrated how he was asked about his car during an interview for a Trust campaign in 2004.

Jua Cali said that he took a matatu to town and then walked to the interview venue, which was located in Chancery Lane. When he arrived, he was served refreshments before being interviewed by a panel of two ladies.

The ladies asked Jua Cali what car he drove. Jua Cali said that he was confused by the question because he had walked to the interview and he did not own a car. He thought that the ladies were joking, but they assured him that they were serious.

Jua Cali said that he was able to convince the ladies that he was a talented artist and that he would be a good fit for the Trust campaign. He was eventually awarded the contract and he went on to become one of the most successful artists in Kenya.

Jua Cali’s story is a reminder that it is important to never give up on your dreams, no matter how difficult things may seem. He was able to achieve success despite not having a car or any other material possessions. He simply had a talent for music and a passion for his craft.

Jua Cali’s story is also a reminder that first impressions can be deceiving. The ladies who interviewed him may have been initially skeptical of him because he did not own a car, but they were eventually won over by his talent and his passion.

Jua Cali is a true inspiration and his story is a reminder that anything is possible if you set your mind to it.
