Tedd Josiah Analyses Why Nigerian Music Beats Kenyan Music Anyday! As An Artist, You Must Read This
Tedd Josiah is one of the most decorated veterans of the Kenyan entertainment scene. His accomplishes would leave any green. And so, when he speaks, you would do best to listen YoloSwagger! Pay attention, draw close to his feet and soak up some of the knowledge. And today’s topic will have most people angry because he basically is saying what I have always said, Naija music is miles ahead of the pack!
And this is what the veteran producer had to say:
Tedd Josiah
NIGERIAN MUSIC WILL RULE!!!!
Yes there I’ve said it and before you start throwing stones here is why I’ve said it.
Right now Burna boy is doing well. WHY?
His father was FELA kutis band member in the 70s
He has learnt from the music passed down to him
He has taken from Nigerian musical heritage and fused it with modern sounds to bring a newness.
He has 160 million votes in Nigeria alone!
Kenya….
Most artists don’t care to even look at the musical heritage to fuse into the new
We have 40 million votes (1/4) of what the Nigerians have.
A lot of artists don’t understand Kenyan sounds from the past and only look to what they hear now, so their musical research is based on kiss radios playlist which is honestly all of 5 songs most of which are Nigerian
People with no culture are like the shadow of the moon
Or
Mwacha mila ni mtumwa
The one who leaves his culture becomes a slave.
DIG INTO THE PAST
SUPPORT EACH OTHER
GROW TOGETHER
that’s the solution
