Kenge Kenge's lead artist George Achieng' performs with unidentified violinist at Dagos, Ngong' Rd in a musical marriage between the Nilotic Orutu fiddle and the Western violin. Isn't this amazing?

Anyone wondering why Angelique Kidjo beat Burna Boy for the Grammy pls listen to this analysis. Burns Boy might be good but he has a lot of work to do. He samples Angelique in his most popular 2019 song "Anybody", and samples Kuti in a number of his songs.

#Khaligraph vs #Blackbonez
Who's the best rapper on the African continent?

[TheBengaZone @TheBengaZone]

In 60s/70s, West Africa reaped from the Kenyan Benga by artists like Gabriel Omollo & Owino Rachar to enrich their music. The likes of the late Cardinal Rex Lawson of "Sawale" fame knew how these artists had infiltrated Nigeria. Khaligraph should've hit them with a Benga beat...

[Khaligraph Jones @KHALIGRAPH]

Khaligraph Jones is The Best Rapper in Nigeria. The OG shall be respected ...https://t.co/WDOapwMh7P

Artists, like other professionals, evolve over the course of their careers. Their art evolves too.
When appreciating any piece of art (music, books, paintings, etc.), it is important to ask:.
1) What brought the artist to that point?
2) Where is it in his/her trajectory?
