ARE ETHICS SO "ROTTEN"?

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.
