Every Kenyan artist now wants to form a band or join an existing band. Music bands are doing so well in Kenya that even fans of music nowadays want to attend more of band concerts.
Is 'two heads better than one' the reason why music bands are doing so well?
From the afro-cultural bands like those of Ken Wa Maria and Kativui to contemporary urban bands like Sauti Sol, Elani, Adawnag band, Sarabi band, H_art the band, Just A band amongst others, we see that the bands are getting better and better.
They are landing mega deals in both local and international scene. Those musicians who go solo disappear as fast they come.
I think just like writers and novelist, music composers also experience writers block.
For solo artists, when writers block creeps in, they disappear until that time they will get inspiration again.
Those artists in a band evade the writers block because when one is not inspired, the other is and vice versa.
Two heads are actually better than one.
