No song has sparked as much discussion on social media platforms as Muigai wa Njoroge's Ino Migunda. At the time of writing, the song had over 220k views on YouTube and was trending at number one in Kenya. Interestingly, the song is in his native tongue, but the message seems to resonate with everyone. And this isn't the first time the artist has used his powerful lyrics to criticize the powers that be. This writer will break down his songs and discuss what inspires him.
Songs
Muigai wa Njoroge's latest song, Ino Migunda, is sure to generate a lot of heat and discomfort among the powers that be.
The video, which lasts 7 minutes and 22 seconds, criticizes President Uhuru Kenyatta's regime for using force to evict people.
Muigai addresses the sensitive land issue, stating that there will come a time when land will be divided equally. He warns the president that the common mwananchi will not tolerate his oppression for much longer.
Muigai criticizes the Jubilee government for providing freebies and handouts during the campaign period but failing to provide free masks to combat covid-19.
In what appears to be a subtle endorsement of embattled deputy president William Ruto, the musician questions why Kenyans label rich peasants as thieves, while dynasties that loot public coffers are said to have inherited their wealth.
Muigai goes on to say that Ruto, who is known as a thief, is the one who will put an end to looting. The musician goes on to criticize Uhuru's father, Kenya's first President, for impoverishing the families of mau mau fighters.
The artist released 'Mbari ya Kimeendero' (clan of oppressors) in 2018, which brutally attacked the handshake.
Family
The artist is married and has a family. Muigai appears to be a loving husband and father to his children based on photos he has shared on his social media platform.
