Kenyan musicians who made great comebacks after a musical hiatus
Coming back to an ever dicey music scene isn’t a mean feat. Fans move on, people change, more artistes are born anew, the dynamics shift and whatnot.
Here are Kenyan music artistes who managed to assert themselves back on the airwaves after a musical slump or hiatus.
Nyashinski is what you can deem the greatest ideal comeback story.
Formerly a third of the now-defunct Hip Hop group Kleptomanix, Nyashinski curtly pursued a rather successful solo career before relocating to the United States in 2006.
The singer moved back to Kenya after years of truck driving to pursue his true north as a music artist, promptly commanding the airwaves with hits So Now You Know, Mungu Pekee, Malaika, Hello et al. and an album ‘Lucky You’.
