"Kenya
is not just about Lions, Giraffes and fast running men… it's
also about Hip-Hop and Studios"- Tedd Josiah, Music Producer
THE PROJECT
Kenyan Hip-hop was initially regarded as a passing fad. Hip-hop
was eagerly dismissed by the media outlets and the general public
during it's shallow inception in the early ninety's. Hip-hop today
has firmly gained its roots in Kenya, while fusing its traditional
music and drawing major influence from America. This fusion has
led to a new entity-the birth
of Genge Music.
Filming the
documentary in Kenya, Producer/Director Michael Wanguhu, enjoyed
collaborative efforts from top-notch Kenyan producers, and reigning
hip-hop acts past and present, seeking to expose a culture they
have whole-heartedly embraced and it is also punctuated by footage
of engaging live concert events. HIP HOP COLONY richly ties key
elements of hip hop, flexibility and talent which continue to increase
its dominance around the World one colony at a time.
