The ongoing grudge between East African musicians and the West African artists just got a twist. Kenya’s sensational rapper Jua Cali who’s known for the famous “genge” rap style , similar to “Lugaflow” in Uganda and “Bongo Flava” in Tz. For Cali , he suggests it’s a wakeup call for Easter Africa to do something musically, that stand for the region other than carrying on the beef.
“We danced to lingala when we were young. We enjoyed rhumba and ragga back then. The Kenyan entertainment scene is diverse and we have always moved with what works at a given time. That is common-sense guys. What is all this buzz about? Get real,” Jua Cali said.
“Nigerian music is good and very danceable. People should stop complaining and dance to good music. Local artistes need to work hard regardless of what is currently popular. Besides, if your music is good, fans will embrace it,” he observed.
You know he’s literally right, musicians out there need to get creative enough and stop copying style.
