- Kebaso remarked that they had performed well during the GenZ protest, noting their presence on the streets and at concerts.
- However, he pointed out that they had remained silent afterward.
Morara Kebaso, an activist for civic education, has advised local artists to consider recording songs condemning corruption and bad leadership.
Kebaso stated on his Instagram page that at this moment, every Kenyan wants to hear anything that raises the finger at bad government leadership and rampant corruption, so he encourages artists to make use of the situation.
He requested that singers stop from singing about love and drinks, as has been the case in many popular tracks, and instead sing about revolution and change.
We don’t want to hear songs about love, breakups, drugs, gangsters etc. That’s not our mood. You need to start playing an active role in the revolution.
Citing the example of comedian Crazy Kennar, who recently released a funny video highlighting corruption in the government which drew many, he urged artists to do the same to sell their art to Kenyans.
Crazy Kennar did a video recently and it has 46Million views on instagram alone. Because it was about corruption and bad governance. It is time for you to match the mood of the nation. All revolutions in history were catalyzed by works of art and music.
