The Top 5 feat Luka: Journey of Self Discovery

When I hosted Luka on this episode of The Top 5 with LaMusicJunkie, I didn’t think it would get that DEEP. But the genre-bending Kenyan artist and creative director of The Kenyan Renaissance shared some pretty profound stories behind his debut album.

Featuring alternative Kenyan musicians such as Mwongeli, Muddah and Tony Oriema, the 2022 Kenyan album SANDUKU is a whole philosophical box of its own.

Tune in to this episode to find out:

• How Luka metamorphosized from producer to rapper
• Why he believes we’re not free and still in Chains
• The Tanzanian chakacha band he sampled in Rafiki Adui
• How fatherhood has changed him
• His favourite Kenyan songs

And so much more!
