The East African music industry has seen a tremendous growth in the past 10 years and we're happy about the change.

Although the new kids on the block the likes of Gengetone artistes have come in with a different taste, the old musicians still win.

Their songs not only entertained but educated and created awareness on problems affecting the society.

Their taste of music was great and sang songs which could be listened to by any age group unlike some of the current artistes, who promote nudity and violence.
