    Jul 10 2024

    Je, unapigania nchi yako? Bado Mapambano.

    Before we became freedom fighters we got to celebrate 20 years of Waithaka in the music industry. We were invited to the celebrations that featured the LYE gang, Ayrosh, Kwame Rigii, Tha Movement, Wanavokali, Chris Barr, Wabi, Wanjine, Meryl Paige, Ythera, Wendy Kay, Jivu Music, Zaituni, Serro.

    An eye opening conversation with Waithaka himself regarding his music inception, journey, artists he has worked with, his projects and future plans for Waithaka Music & Waithaka Ent.

    Major shout out to Edna Sangaka for making all this possible. A post protest hug - Playlist by Tessy Wachira: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0Ip76fOMs6QeORcrEM4LWH?si=35ff2173174a4230

    Happy New Year Ongeza Volume Family! Trigger Warning. This episode may have some triggering conversations and events - trust me I am also triggered, but these are very necessary conversations. A lot of random thoughts as well. It started raining during my rant lol. Based on the current events - Femicide is truly a problem. The message is very clear - STOP KILLING WOMEN, period!

    Episode 9 - Kukaribishwa Nairobi and other stories
    Nov 17 2023
    In this episode we start off seriously with an ongoing conversation on fans wanting artists not to change in order to retain them vs artists exploring new stuff. Ethan's rebrand has also been an interesting conversation. Your feedback and opinions zinabamba. Tuendelee kuongeza volume. We even get to hear from Hunjez (Hunja Wangui - event curator, artist manager and fellow playlist curator among many other hats he wears. Yeah he's dope. Check him out.) In other tales, nilikaribishwa Nairobi na wezi huko Oktobafest. We explore what went wrong with Oktobafest and the good highlights. Here we don't judge an event by its decor. Celebrating 20 years of Sauti Sol at Sol Fest - you had to be there. Muthaka performing with The Vibe Curators exposes my ongoing obsession with the bass guitar. Discovery Projects: Euphonias and Love Under Construction by Petrooz. Sauti Sol final hug captured by Cheru Koimett
