In the second part of our episode on Kenya’s antigovernment protests, we discuss how new art and music have become integral to the movement.
A viral protest song that samples Kendrick Lamar’s diss track – Not Like Us – has become the theme of a movement calling for change in Kenya. “Music has a unique power to unite people and amplify their voices,” Patohvin tells OkayAfrica. “Music can be a rallying cry that turns passive discontent into active resistance.”
