“Ah wow, are there any international artistes in East Africa?”
What exactly is an international artiste? You know, but I think how I’m gonna answer this question is I think kuna wasanii wamejaribu sana. We cannot discredit their works. Diamond amejaribu sana, nani mwingine? Sauti Sol has really tried coz us anytime we travel outside those people who don’t know you will say to us we just know Sauti Sol.” Nadia Mukami weighed in.
Nadia’s thoughts on East Africa Musician not being international seemed to contradict Otile Brown who claimed no East African artist is International. She said that there are artistes who have worked hard and they deserved the recognition.
“So that means they’ve sold their work. So as much as someone can argue that way, for me, I would say we cannot discredit that there are artists in East Africa who have international recognition.
Sauti Sol are like legendary right now. In East Africa, I would say they are known more, and Diamond as well. So I think ni sijui… it’s just that we shouldn’t discredit the fact that there are artists who have worked hard to at least represent us out there.”
