Alvindo met with the CEO of the body Ezekiel Mutua a week ago and they ironed everything out, agreeing that the video of Taka Taka shall be pulled down.

In the press conference, Alvindo also promised that his next music shall be educative and uplifting. After Taka Taka, the singer dropped “Kunguni”, a club hit that brought about mixed reaction.

“I want to apologize to my fans and to promise them a second release that will embrace moral values… I am sorry I didn’t intend to incite jilted men against women.

“If I release the next song, it will be a song with a message and one that sends a positive message to society,” said Alvindo last Thursday.

Educative

He has now released his new jam dubbed  ‘Boy Child’ which speaks about all the difficult things boy child is going through these days.

‘Boychild’ has been produced by Magix Enga at the Fast Cash Music Group studios run by KRG the Don, who took Alvindo under his wing after ‘Taka Taka’ went viral.

The man behind the viral “Taka Taka” hit has finally obeyed to Kenya Films and Classifications Board (KFCB)’s call and showed up after being summoned.

The CEO of KFCB Ezekiel Mutua, summoned Alvindo two weeks ago after his song Taka Taka was banned by the body.

Promise

After a lengthy meeting, the two parties came to the conclusion that while no further action would be taken against the singer, the song Takataka would be pulled down from all online platforms.

“Content that glorifies violence against women or any other segment of society will not be tolerated and unscrupulous individuals who use art for incitement or glorification of such acts will be dealt with in accordance with the law,” said KFCB.

Alvindo further promised that he’ll release more educative songs following his two new songs. The 21-year-old singer said followed up Taka Taka with “Kunguni” which wasn’t well received.

“If I release a next song, it will be a song with a message and one that sends a positive message to society,” he said.

Alvindo to Mutua: The song talks about what I was going through. There is freedom of expression, Takataka hit was that expression

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Singer of banned song TakaTaka has come out to defend his work saying that it was meant to express himself.

Ezekiel Mutua of Kenya Film Classification Board banned the song because it degrades women but according to the singer, he was just expressing himself.

“The song basically talks about what I was going through at that particular moment. There is freedom of expression and that is what I was doing as a Kenyan. I dedicated the song to my ex-girlfriend, who had left me,” he said.” Alvindo told Kiss100.co.ke.

Market

The singer defended the song saying that it was just an expression and even before the song, there were heartbreaks.

“Even before the song, there have been breakup stories and people have been left, including myself, and so I have not incited anyone.” he said.

His producer KRG the Don said that the song was not for everyone.

“Each song has a target audience, and that is why people even released a remix of the song because it was fun with no intentions of inciting anyone. Everyone has a right to choose the kind of music to listen to.” he posted.

Posted on by Gloria Katunge

Tuesday, 16th of April, youthful Kenyan rapper, Alvindo saw his ´Taka Taka´ anthem nationally banned from the airwaves but the management has decided to defy the orders.

The audio that has garnered upward of 1 M views, saw the management put in too much time, effort and financial resources to just let it the video slip.

During an interview with Tuko, the management cites:

The video is ready and we could be releasing it next week.

We spent a lot of money on it.

We invested over Ksh 1 M for the video so it does not make sense cancelling it..

Mutua banned the audio all because he misunderstood it.

Alvindo´s manager, Eric the manager says the video is awaiting its public release, after having its audio aired early in January.

However, the young manager wishes he can meet the KFCB boss before airing the video to set the rules clear though even if it doesn´t happen, the video will still be released.

I am looking for Mutua.

I want us to sit down and talk about the ban and what we can do in future.

The video will be released whether the meeting happens or not.

But as Alvindo´s manager, I would really want to meet him before the release.

4-month old ´Taka Taka´ audio was banned due to reasons of being insulting to the female gender and being an igniter to recent spousal fights.
