‘WE CHARGE SH1.5 MILLION PER SHOW’ MATATA MUSIC GROUP REVEAL

Popular Kenyan music group Matata, has revealed the group charges Sh1.5 million per show. “The only reason we haven’t been performing in Kenya is because promoter hawafiki bei, Sh1.5 million ni kitu ya kushindwa kulipa?”

The fast-rising Kenyan music group recently released their anticipated debut album Super Mario following their successful run with hit singles and videos. They curated a hero-anchored body of work that echoes their Kenyan heritage, ingenuity and zeal while highlighting their victories and struggles in the pursuit of their dreams.

The 15-track album portrays Matata’s unique and distinct sound that mixes English and Swahili with melodies and rhythms from different tribes of Kenya. Matata’s new album features collaborations from Afro-pop stars: Sauti Sol, Okello Max, Hip-Hop music group Wakadinali, R&B artist Phy, Reggae artist Liam Bailey from UK andGhanaian/Norwegian artist, Akuvi.

The album intro also stands out as a special collaboration with their mothers. Matata says, “This is a dream come true; we never imagined one day featuring our mothers in one of our songs. On the track they take a trip down memory lane on each of our own journeys traversing from childhood to adulthood. Our mothers have truly been the rock of our lives. We would not be living our dreams if it weren’t for their visions. When naysayers told us that making a living off as an artist was an unrealistic dream, our mothers saw the vision. Unbowed by physical boundaries, diverse in musicality and unified in art, we are doing what we love because of their reassurance.”
