Ever Wondered Which Kenyan Artiste President Uhuru Loves his Music Most? The Secret is Finally Out!

Heads of States too enjoy music from local artists in their respective countries. In 2011/12 President Obama revealed that Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter and “Words” hit-maker, Anthony David, is his favourite artist.

Obama would later run a radio station host through his musical tastes, an eclectic and all-encompassing list of artists and tracks in what was referred to as the ‘presidential iPod’.

Well, today we got the rare chance to delve into President Uhuru’s playlist. Apparently the commander-in-chief is a huge fan of Kenyan music. And not just any Kenyan music but has a special liking for Rufftone’s music!

This was revealed earlier today by the Secretary of Communications and Presidential Spokesperson, Manoah Esipisu on Easy FM. Asked the type of music the President listens to responded;

“The President loves Kenyan music, Roughtone is one of his favorites. #AskStateHouse”

@MEsipisu: The President loves Kenyan music, Roughtone is one of his favorites. #AskStateHouse

Could this be why the Comander-in-Chief gave Rufftone the go-ahead to practice with the army ahead of the Kenya@50 celebrations?

Anyway, these are rare brownie points from the highest seat in the land and I guess earns the ‘Mungu Baba’ hit-maker bragging rights until the Uhuru speaks about this subject again 🙂

Big up Rufftone!
