One of Kenya's best rappers, King Kaka, has released the video to his latest single, Koth Biro featuring legendary singer and prolific Nyatiti player Ayub Ogada. The single is from his album Success Begins Now.
Koth Biro, which in Dholuo translates to 'Rain Is Coming', was inspired by the rapper's trip with United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) Kenya to Turkana to visit their programmes. UNICEF is a United Nations (UN) programme headquartered in New York City, USA, that provides humanitarian and developmental assistance to children and mothers in developing countries.
"I saw kids walking half a day just to get a five-litre jerrycan of water. I saw kids who had malnutrition, a family who had not had a descent meal in weeks surviving on a fruit called Makoma, which keeps their tummy full. In the same country, people throw away food, leave taps running and money meant for drought relief is embezzled. Play your part, make a difference," says King Kaka.
Koth Biro was produced by Kevin Provoke, one of most avant-garde sound engineers in Kenya. After working as a ghost writer and producer, Provoke went on to start his own production facility and studio called Provoke Music.
In the recent past, he teamed up with other music professionals in a project he initiated dubbed Dance Africa, with an aim of promoting the continent’s diverse music to showcase it to the world. The project has caught the interest of artistes and other music professionals across the content such as South Africa’s HHP, Angola’s Maya Zuda and Nigeria’s Olamide.
So far he has been able to work on various music projects with top Kenyan artistes such as Wangechi, Fena, Karun, Dela, King Kaka, Avril, Jay A, Madtraxx, Octopizzo, Camp Mulla, Mejja, Kenny Young, Collo and Marushka, among others.
The video for Koth Biro was directed by Johnson Kyalo for Empire Films.
