THE PILLARS OF AFRISA INTERNATIONAL
October 30, 2026 - 01:50 PM
The Musicians Who Helped Shape Tabu Ley’s Afrisa International’s Success Tabu Ley, the son of Bagata, who sang his way into the hearts of a global audience, would have been celebrating his 86th birthday this November had death not snatched him from his fans 13 years ago. Although he was endowed with many talents, including songwriting, composing, choreography, and band leadership, the most potent weapon he carried into the battle zone that is the music world, and which saw him scale the heights of success, was his voice. Ley was a fine singer with a soothing, melodious tenor that made li...
DOLLAR KABARRY
October 21, 2026 - 05:33 PM
One of the biggest names in contemporary benga music is Dollar Kabarry. For two decades, music pundits have regarded benga as one of Kenya’s most dominant homegrown genres. Its leading performers have occupied a prominent place in the country’s music industry, and Dollar Kabarry is among the musicians who have earned national recognition through their contribution to the genre. Benga has several advantages over other musical genres, both locally developed and imported. Unlike many of these genres, it has maintained a strong tradition of live performances. This commitment has kept benga music firmly rooted in entertainment joints across the country, where bands perform before......
MUSICIANS COME AND GO BUT MAROON STAYS
October 09, 2026 - 08:19 PM
Band leader Magneto retires from the military Maroon Commandos was formed on 1st October 1970, making it one of the oldest bands in the country. Having existed for the last 56 years is an outstanding achievement, considering that most musical outfits rarely survive long enough to celebrate their 10th birthdays. The magic wand that has kept “wana Maroon,” as they are fondly referred to by their fans, is the military sponsorship, which makes the band more of an institution, bigger than any individual. The success of the band over the years, however, is directly attributable to the leaders this band has had over time, among them the immediate former leader Magneto, who......
THE MAKOSSA CRAZE
October 01, 2026 - 01:49 PM
Soukous has long been cited as the peak of Congolese rumba. This was not necessarily because it was the most creative of the subgenres, but because of its extraordinary popularity. The fast-paced subgenre surpassed its counterparts by breaking the continental barrier and gaining a following in Europe, the United States, Latin America, and Asia. However, during Soukous’ peak, a closely related genre known as Makossa emerged from Cameroon and threatened to dethrone it from the position of Africa’s most popular music. One of the driving forces behind the rise of this emerging genre was Sam Fan Thomas. The new success of Congolese music was partly midwifed by a mass exodus of......
MUSIC LEGEND MOSES MATOVU KILLED IN KIBULI

Uganda Mourns as Music Legend Moses Matovu, Afrigo Band Founder, Killed in Kibuli Attack Uganda's music family is in mourning today after the death of Moses Matovu, the saxophonist, vocalist and founding father of Afrigo Band, whose horn lines and voice became the sound of a nation for nearly six decades. Matovu, 77, died early Thursday morning at Kibuli Hospital after he was attacked by unknown assailants at Kibuli Market Zone B in Makindye Division, Kampala. Kampala Metropolitan Police spokesperson Rachel Kawala confirmed that police at Kabalagala had registered a case of suspected murder involving the musician. Preliminary information indicates......
THE MISPLACED PRIORITIES OF GENERATIVE AI
September 22, 2026 - 04:02 PM
They promised AI would fix the climate. They promised it would cure cancer. They promised an end to poverty. Heavy stuff. So what did Silicon Valley give us? A bot that writes rap songs about cat food. An app that turns your uncle into a Pixar character. Picture this: Aliens land on our burnt-up planet. They dig up a dusty hard drive. They plug it in. They start nodding along. "Planet is dead. But this Kasongo meme track slaps." It sounds stupid. It is true. The tragedy is not that technology is useless. We have pulled off real miracles. We mapped the human genome. We made vaccines in record time. We put all human knowledge in our pockets. We know how to tackle big problems. Tech has......
FANS UNIMPRESSED BY 'FALLY'S LIP SYNC'
September 07, 2026 - 02:49 PM
“Kenyans cannot be helped. You mean, with the crippling economy and the troubles, they paid KSh 10,000 to go watch Fally Ipupa lip-sync? Don't get me wrong. I love Lingala music. But only when it is real. My assessment is that Fally Ipupa's performance wasn't. Dr Miguna observed as debate over Congolese musician Fally Ipupa's concert at Uhuru Gardens in Nairobi raged online. Dr Miguna, a Canada-based Kenyan lawyer and public intellectual, is known to comment on topical issues, but over the years, his opinion on matters of music has been rare. That he had a comment on this particular one tells a tale of something that went terribly wrong. This was possibly in tandem with John Bogart's......
AU REVOIR CARLITO
September 03, 2026 - 11:23 PM
Eugene Magina, an Italy-based, award-winning dancer, is perhaps one of the biggest fans of the deceased Congolese singer Carlito Lassa. “I haven’t been able to sleep even for a wink, or settle at work, since I read the sad news of the demise of Carlito through the Jabulani page on social media,” Eugene Magina, popularly known as Wuod Okil, told this writer. To him, a musician with few peers had breathed his last, and it can’t be business as usual. Carlito’s singing was unique, and that perhaps was the magnet that got him hooked. He sang with ease, in a style that’s almost akin to that of the founding father of Congolese music, Grand Kalle, but again,......
CONGOLESE MUSICIAN CARLYTO LASSA IS DEAD
August 31, 2026 - 07:30 PM
Congolese musician Carlyto Lassa is dead. The sad news was broken by fellow musician Jeannot Bell, who is based in London, in a post on Facebook. The post, however, did not divulge further details regarding the circumstances of his death. Carlyto, who was known for his melodious tenor voice, first made a name for himself alongside Debaba and Defao at Choc Stars, before joining OK Jazz, the legendary orchestra of Franco Luambo. He excelled with songs such as Maya and Affaire Kitikwala, both composed by Simaro Lutumba, among others. He also performed numerous nzing-nzong sessions with dozens of musicians. Among them was the ever-popular Bon Samaritain album by Papa Noël, which was......
THE QUEEN WITH AN ANGELIC VOICE
August 27, 2026 - 07:14 PM
"Without the blues brought by the slaves in America, there's no R&B, there's no rock and roll, there's no soul music, there's no jazz. All of it comes from Africa." Angélique Kidjo recently told the BBC. Indeed, several prominent genres that have come to define music in the 21st century trace their roots to African folk songs. This begs the question, why is the continent's music industry not as developed as that of America and Europe, especially in terms of returns for musicians, advancement in recording technology, and well-defined distribution networks? Why do African musicians strive to ape the West in several aspects of their music and even dressing, yet they are supposed......
