Kenya is known to target international Markets in its products, Music industry in Kenya has not also been left out, as many African artists, focus on African Music genres, Kenyan upcoming musicians are focusing international music genres. They believe with this kind of music, they can capture audience in any given part of the world

Nasema, hizi song za huyu dem safi, Za diamond, safi, na wengine tangu kina Juma nature, ila hujaelewa mada hapa, hizi nyimbo bongo flavor fit sana Africa Mashariki hata Kenya ni mafans sana, ila hizi nyimbo sio international. Sasa we unafikiri hii nyimbo inaqualify kwa international genres???

Ndio maana nilisema, Tanzania mnaimba nyimbo for East Africa, Kenya we sing for the world. Our Music can be listened to by any person anywhere in the world. As it has the international feel.
Listen to this, You can't tell if the singer was from USA or Europe or Africa, the genre is Rap/Hiphop that can be played world over.

Listen to the English Rap and rhyme




If you want to believe what am saying, look at this video of guys from the UK reacting to the song, the guys says, "They sound American" and they appreciate the rap

 
The guys in diaspora can easily relate with the Kenya music, when it comes to reggae, they do it just like the guys from Kingston Jamaica

MOTOCHINI njoo nione povu lako humu

Hawawezi, unajua huwa wanaona music yao inasikizwa sana Kenya wanadhani sasa hiyo ndo kuwa internatiional.
Kama ni Diamond, yeye huforce indexing ya songs zake kwenye Youtube, yaani ukisearch song yoyote hata iwe ya Culture utaona kwenye list hiyo wimbo wa Diamond, waswahili husema kizuri chajiuza kibaya chajitembeza. Diamond songs zake ni pop songs ambazo after years hakuna mwenye atazikumbuka tena, wako wapi kina TID, Mangwea, Temba, but songs done by E-sir from Kenya are still being listened to today, not only in Kenya but even in Countries like UK and USA

Khalighraph sawa anaweza kua International ila wengine mjifunze from Tanzania
 
Tanzania 'Bongo flavour' dominates Kenyan radio stations!!
Not true at all. Maybe Nigerian or South African, but apart from Diamond Platinumz, Alikiba and such prominent Tanzania artistes, Kenyans do not know the majority of the Tanzanian musicians. No, your music does not dominate our airwaves, get that fallacy out your mind.

Tanzanian songs are most watched YouTube music videos in Kenya

FRIDAY DECEMBER 9 2016

Tanzanian songs dominated Kenya’s most watched YouTube music videos list this year, revealing a bias for bongo flava.

Salome by Tanzania’s Diamond Platnumz and Rayvanny emerged the most watched music video in Kenya while Rihanna and Drake’s Work song and Bado by Diamond Platnumz and Harmonize took the second and third slots respectively.

It emerged that the most watched YouTube video by Kenyans was that of students from Bishop Gatimu Ngandu Girls High School dancing to Bamba Mbaya song by the Kelele Takatifu gospel group.

Tanzania’s Mume Kaenda Kazini, Wife Kaleta Mchepuko Nyumbani video about a cheating wife and local rapper CMB Prezzo’s drama during a TV interview emerged as the second and third most watched videos in Kenya, respectively.

Other clips that featured in the most watched videos locally include Nigeria’s I’ll Beat You compiled by Mark Angel Comedy, Jicho Pevu’s investigative story on Jacob Juma’s murder, Mc King Kong’s Dancing Sekemba and Awilo Longomba, Upper Hill School choir Kuliko Jana rendition, The Wedding of the Year dance by a Kenyan bride, Eric Omondi’s video on how to be Diamond Platnumz and Chechemua Akiri Anampenda Rais Kenya Hadharani, a funny compilation of news items.
