Kenyan Hip Hop
Kenyan hip hop is a genre of music and a culture that covers various forms and subgenres of hip-hop and rap originating from Kenya. It is commonly a combination of Swahili and English (Kenya's official languages) as well as Sheng and a variety of tribal languages. Early years According to the documentary ''Hip-Hop Colony'', the beginnings of Kenyan hip-hop was like a "new breed of colonialism," transplanting the original styles from the Westernized world to Africa. However, Kenya has not only embraced but also appropriated the genre, creating its own distinct version. Since its explosion in the mid-1990s, Kenyan hip-hop is now generally written and performed in English, Swahili, and Sheng, a slang combination of the two. In 1990, Ricky Oyaro, then a teenage singer and producer, made the initial impact on the Kenyan music scene with the Hip-Hop/R&B single "Renaissance" that would create a renaissance on the then ailing Kenyan music industry. The song received massive airplay ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
