Music is an entertainment tool that most humans enjoy. It’s
a brain necessity. However, it is dangerous venom is good care is not taken.
Recently, the kind of music that Kenyans are consuming through our mainstream
media and all other platforms, we are in a moral ditch that might sink the
venerable youths.
I agree with those who say that it’s good for us to showcase
our talents and articulate our cultures through music, but let's draw a line
between what is our culture and that which we have borrowed elsewhere. With
this, I will concentrate on some of the hit songs from a new brand of ghetto
music that is running youth entertainment and some time finding its airplay.
Let's focus on ETHICS, a music group of young boys who have
a talent in music in terms of creating Ghetto Swahili rhythms. These guys have
a niche that they have identified. It’s a good way of generating their income ,
but with the erroneous information. From hit songs like PANDANA, INSTAGRAM, FYEKA,
FIGA , among others, they are promoting sex, abuse of women and drugs through
their content.
There is another pack of tarnished unethical songs that is sopping
into the music industry, by the name ZZERO SIFURI, and their hit ZIMNISHIKA.
Its really promoting abuse of alcohol and bhang . Most of these songs have
borrowed nudity from Jamaica riddims.
It's so inopportune
that these guys are now attending youth’s functions for performance. The worst
of all , high schools. They are simply diluting the hard efforts of NACADA, CDC
and FCB. Lets embrace clean content.
