Kenya Mko Wapi: Part one
Edu embarks on a three-part Kenyan road trip, and asks Bien, Eric Musyoka and Anyiko Owoko what it will take for the country's music to break out beyond its borders.
In the first of three special editions of This Is Africa from Kenya, DJ Edu is joined by three influential players in the music scene to discuss why Kenyan music isn't punching through like Afrobeats, Amapiano, Bongo flava and more.
Bien came to fame with Kenyan supergroup Sauti Sol, and he's now bucking the national trend by building a successful international career as a solo artist. Producer Eric Musyoka is a legend on the scene and responsible for some of the biggest Kenyan songs since the 90s. Anyiko Owoko is a music publicist, promoter, events curator and blogger.
