After Collo and all other old skool Kenyan artists featured on the show, I have now come to conclude that most of them were and are wise and more educated even from the way they tell their stories and understand the music business and that is why they managed to survive and push music in that era where internet and youtube barely existed, I can imagine if we had such MC's in this era, Kenyan music could have been BIG!!!! Growth is a matter of mindset, opportunities and chances exist everywhere
@@Turbulence2027 true, then the young artists should atleast learn, look upto and emulate the teachings of these old skool artist cz we all learn from the experienced
Mwaf leo umetujenga jo. After watching Collo kwa CTA, couldn't wait for him to come to Iko Nini. I think the biggest letdown to the Kenyan music industry, and it's proliferation ni Kenyan Djs. They had the opportunity to build it like the Kayslays of the US, but wakaendea low-hanging fruit wakarushia wakenya lawama ati that's what we want. But we go to clubs to listen to the Dj's taste in music, plus most of the time we're drunk so, wakicheza Kenyan songs, zitasonga tu. Wazi jo.
Msanii wa Nigeria na hit song moja,where do they tour first? Kenya! Good example msee wa you want to bambam alikuwa na wimbo ngapi? He toured kenya and he sold out,Kenya is big if only we supported US more. Hata Diamond its us Kenyans who made him
Collo is a real Kenyan Hero, he knows where we have been, where we should be and what’s needed to get there. We need to celebrate this hero’s that put Kenyan music on the map and listen to what they got to say. Awesome interview, one of the best from the best 😎. Collo King wa rap 🔥🔥🔥🔥#colloat20
35:00 ~ Kalamashaka had the biggest crowd of over 60,000 in attendance in Lagos. That record stood for years before the likes of P-Square, 2-Face, and WizKid broke it. I still remember their songs top charts in Africa for months. Naenda chuo narudi bado Fanya Mambo ni number one on Channel O 🤣🤣🤣
Collo and Mwaf you guys forget the role of creating systems and mentorship. Can you imagine what happened when Collo ,Kibukosya the real people who have been in the industry gave the wisdom to young guys called camp mulla ? We were on the verge of global domination. Collo ,Mwaf ,Klepto , Nameless should be running a full record label like Sony ,BadBoy like Don Jazzy where the blue print songs , networks , producers are there its just a young face. Ogopa was the closest we had ,Sol generation. We work at kibarua ,gigs ,self employment level instead of a business team with professionals that's missing link in Music.
Nabongo being called a collaborator is an alternative history 🫣 The guy was a sarvy business man, who secured trade routes in the region for the survival of the region. That is why the Mumia kingdom still exists to date
@larryachiya2475 what you call development is infrastructure, buildings,roads, etc they were built in the early years where white people settled and later Indians....Kakamega County as a whole is doing way better than Counties like busia Inspite of all the revenue collected there
its really sad how people dont understand how young aartist spend en take almost there whole creativity ndo tuh watu wakue noticed its really sad guys start by support Broke Boi issa his quite talented but manze peeni boyz support atleast a hand back to the society
There is a studio in Kericho, that the Congolese and the West-Africans used to come to record in the 90's. True story. I don't know if it is still there though.. I think it was called Chandarana or something of the sought
Tea is the most consumed beverage in the world, amazing episode btw, colonialism really did a good one on us, i think acknowledging it and having such discord is important to the process of creating our own identity which is happening everyday even at this very moment.
I'm glad Collo said these, Kenyans were the pioneers in the Pop culture in Africa, P Square were just up and coming until after they visited Kenya. Their song Do Me they sampled Redsun's - Apakatwe ,ya'll know how big that song was. And Kenyans are also an indiscipline lot, and culture hoes, we buy into anything non - Kenyan.
Si kwa ubaya lakini collo ako na story poa though research yake ni so shallow alafu hajui kuziexplain. Everything he's saying hazimalizi alafu anaconnect na ingine yani azina start and ending
47:00 - accents and speech. Kifee’s buddy, George told a story about how someone in Kenya mocked his English for having a kikuyu accent. He’s proud of his accent because it sets him apart when speaking in business meetings and such because he’s all of a sudden exotic to his audience. Something to think about. If you’re going to be proud of yourself then be proud of everything about yourself, ama vipi?
Hio story ya ku buy into other cultures i thought ni Kenya tu cz ya akina Capital FM but where i live now kukona Capital FM ya huku, still playing the same music with the same whitewashed accent, so i guess ni hao Capital fm trying to push their accent on different territories
The Revolution we desire began with the people we the Artist. For it to actually materialize now the government needs to get involved. Kukataa kucheza KE unanyongwa
capitalism and communisms this were concepts used during colonization Between the English French Italians ….and that's why they were forming allies.... that's why you see difference in togetherness between cultures in africa and what they adopted from colonialism...uk are capitalists...so Kenya tuko wachoyo...its what we adopted....collo is on point there, historically and philosophically deep
Collo anataka kufanya wanaume watoto. Ana compare aje Eliud Kipchoge na Abbas Kubaff. Eliud ni world beater, Jamaa ako na world records. Watu wangapi wanamjua Abbas east Africa let alone Africa. Give some respect to Eliud bana
