This is a testament of the brilliant talent held by the Popachokacha singer. KAMAKAZI: Kamau “Kamikazé” Kibuthu is a Nairobi-based singer, songwriter & producer. A classically trained pianist with 20 years of playing the instrument has not only refined his musical abilities, but allowed him to work with music titans such as Jua Kali, Makadem, Kambua, Jim Chuchu from Just a Band & Dan Aceda as a formidable instrumentalist. SISIAN: Sisian’s trajectory in music is a reflection of her wandering and untypical nature dabbling in both live and electronic music fields as a curious and ever expanding music lover, Sisian is equally the spirited performer & producer as she is the educator & behind the scenes stage and sound crews.
