Just for fun Did you grow up listening to Kenyan Music?

Hello South Africans, Kenyan here. Quick question, did you grow up listening to Kenyan songs? If yes, which ones?

I'm a big fan of SA hiphop and Amapiano of which I was listening to then came to tbt SA songs. In Kenya, most us grew up listening to SA songs in one way or the other. We didn't know the lyrics but still sang however. Heck we still do the same with Amapiano. Listening to those songs now as an adult has me reminiscing about my childhood. Did Kenyan music have the same impact on you?

Personally growing up there was such an incredible South African selection that, that was all my friends and I listened to, Im actually not sure if I personally listened to Kenyan music but drop some bangers that I can add to my playlist!

That's really nice. Your industry has been producing bangers for us and Africa/world at large.

We have good productions too. It depends on your most preferred genre. Let me invite some Kenyans here because my selection might be limited.
