Kijiji by Koronation
Kijiji, the latest album by Nairobi-based hip-hop collective Koronation, is a sonic journey that celebrates the vibrant essence of East African urban life. Rooted in contemporary urban hip-hop, the album masterfully blends Swahili lyricism, coastal taarab-inspired melodies, and heavy-hitting beats, creating a unique fusion that pays homage to the sounds of the East African coast. From socially conscious storytelling to infectious rhythms, Kijiji captures the spirit of a modern-day village-a melting pot of culture, resilience, and community. This project is a bold testament to Koronation's creative vision and their ability to bridge tradition with the pulse of contemporary hip-hop.
