Kris Eeh Baba Speaks Out : “Kenya Has So Much Talent But No Structures To Support It”

Is it time we invest more in our talents ? I guess every one would agree after seeing Kenya being put on  the limelight after our sister Lupita Nyong’o made headlines in the world in winning an Oscar.

Kris Eeh Baba post

Is it time we embrace it ? Yes we should as so many talents are looking to make it in the arts industry but it’s not that easy. Gifted artist Kris Eeh Baba conveys the thoughts of  “support talents” as he believes that talents do not have well put structures to push for support their ambitions.

We could agree with him as there is a very big space between the employed and the unemployed. This gap is created because most of us who are talented are always looking for the “white-collar job” which comes rarely in time. If we would rather go for employment in the arts industry by investing in it i guess this gap  of unemployment could be bridged.

Kris Eeh Baba says :

Stayed all night watching stage performances from all over Africa. I think Kenya needs to invest more on their arts…both film and music at large. So much potential being lost because there are no structures to support the talent and ambitions of the gifted. Just the other day our film circle scored 5 awards in an African award ceremony….how much more can we hack when we have the financial Muscle…?

What say you ?

Kris Eeh Baba Challenges Artists In Kenya To Be More Creative

One of the artists who came with a unique style of Erroh culture associated with the Maasai tribe is one talented Kris Eeh Baba now called Kris Erroh.

Having stayed in the music industry for sometime now Kris feels theirs little that stands out as unique.

If we look at our music industry sphere we could agree with Kris Erroh to an extent that our production is not there yet as Kenyan songs that have gone international are countable. Probably Jimmy Gait’s new song “Makekes” is the 1st gospel song to be played on an international station, Trace Tv.

On that the other hand we have made great steps in video shooting looking at J Blessing, Tiger, Young Wallace and Enos Olik, only that a few of their videos are going out.

Kris Eeh Baba speaks of this openly and feels that its time we up our game in composition to the end part of execution of the product.  Kris says :

“This music industry lacks creative people. So much talent….so much potential….but almost all songs sound the same. Lets get creative.”

Some great points Kris has highlighted are that we have huge talent but we have come a bit monotonous. Looking at most songs we agree that they sound the same and we rarely have something new in production.

Its time we up our game or what do you say ?
