Nairobi Senator Johnson Sakaja has urged Kenyans to support upcoming musicians like Ethic and Ochungulo groups.
In an interview on Radio Citizen on Thursday, Sakaja noted that he is aware of the kind of music the two groups produce, which have been criticized a lot.
He opined that everyone has the freedom to pick the type of music they listen to, and should stop condemning these groups for their music.
According to Sakaja, Ethic's new hit "Figa", which is trending at number one on YouTube, is a good song that was well put together.
“It’s (Figa) become a very popular song, the video was done very well. There are people who might debate the content, but I think it’s expression and it’s art and we must support our young artists,” he said as quoted by edaily.
“We have a classification, we have music that is appropriate for a particular age, so if you choose and that is your type of stuff then enjoy it," he added.
Sakaja encouraged young people to explore their talents, and refrain from criminal activities.
“These young guys were about to fall into crime if you know their story very well, but today they are earning a living, so young people should follow their example,” he said.
