You just woke up one fine morning and decided to exhault yourself from your low self esteem by comparing your poorly scripted song lyriced music to music of other countries.Nobody owns music,its a well known fact buddy and any body who claims otherwise,i mean that they are the best in music,is exposing mediocrity,and lack of basic knowledge about what music is.Tell any Kenyan to mention any Bongo artist from the south,he will hardly mention 3,again ask a Tanzanian to mention Kenyan artists he will mention more than 30 and more.Popularity of music is equated to the success of music in a particular country.Bongo is popular?please tell that ---- to the marines,Ugandans listen to their music,Rwandans same,Ethiopians,Kenyans the same.Did you watch BET awards 2013?Ididn't see any single Tanzanian musician,but Nigerians,Kenyans-Camp Mullah and Collo with their Chafua song.There is nothing beyond Bongo music in T.Z i presume,therefore this creates boredom,and circumvents the need for variety of music in T.Z.Do you know the music America identifies itself with?No,they have hiphop,Rock,crank etc.So get you shit right mister.

Tc just that tanzanians don't know to market their music dats y u didn't see them at bet but I tell the so called campmulla just sing shit compared to navykenzo frm tz and collo is not even known in EA yet hez kenyan legend. Now dis tym expect to see bongofleva rising since platnumz shows how to do it....
 
Mekatilili,thanks for your reply.you might be right about my poor implications in gerne.then teach me.

you have not answered my first question yet.what is the kenyan gerne peformed by sauti sol,camp mulla,octopizzo,jaguar etc?.

remember we're talking about the gerne that competes with bongo fleva.

i didnt know,within nairobi,the most popular musical styles in westlands are different from the most popular musical styles in eastlands!!!.lol

I do not know of a Kenyan artist or genre that "competes" with bongo. Kenyan musicians do not make music to compete.

Kenyan music is diverse! Within the popular music segment alone, there are dozens of genres and sub-genres, and as I stated earlier, popularity varies wildly.

To answer your second question, Sauti Sol is an Afro fusion group, Camp Mulla and Octopizzo are Hip hop artists and Jaguar dabbles in what is known as Boomba or Kapuka.

Popular music is consumed by different segments of the population. I suspect you do not understand the implications of what you refer to as "gerne" [sic], but I will be happy to illustrate.

The following are examples of Kenyan musical genres that are widely celebrated in Kenya and across Africa. None of these artists perform Genge and are among the most successful Kenyan Artists with continental awards and distribution.

Within Nairobi's popular music scene, the most popular musical styles in Westlands are different from the most popular musical styles in Eastlands and the most popular musical styles in Nairobi are different from those from Mombasa....Note! This is within the popular music segment and does not include the traditional-old-styles. It is a very diverse scene.

On the other hand, this is a Genge artist, the genre-hip hop sub genre-that you are equating to your music.

Good for you since I've noticed you've sampled few downsides of Tanzanian music, like not marketing themselves well like their Kenyan counterparts etc rather than some stupidly myopic Khatota11 who failed terribly to do exactly that.Camp Mulla sings Hip Hop,while Navy Kenzo is into.... I think Bongo right?Therefore how by all means can you compare two musicians who sing songs of different genres by lamping them together,then favoring the one you like simply because both of you share the same nationality,or you like the songs he sings,rather than comparing them based on their creativity eish Franco bana.And wacheni kuidolize Diamondi sana(nishaai skia ngoma ya kenzo jamo hapo kitambo kalininice by the way).
