tunedem

Reggae is tha ting in Nairobi! You can attend a Dancehall party or enjoy live Reggae music concerts almost every day in town. One of the high-quality, aspiring reggae bands is TuneDem which started in 2007 and is based in Nairobi.

The founding member Charles Kepha had admired Reggae music all the way from primary school. Inspired by a classmate who would talk and sing with a native Jamaican accent, Kepha soon began composing Reggae tunes and rhymes. Ambitious to establish a music career, he extended his interest and learnt to play a couple of instruments. Later he recruited more members from his close circle of friends until the band was complete. Currently the band consists of 12 members.
TuneDem released their first album called Foundation in 2011. It consists of 8 songs that represent an authentic Reggae sound made in Kenya. Big up!
