DASH Festival 2: Bensoul x Chris Kaiga, In Conversation

Join Bensoul and Chris Kaiga in this Munchies Special as they share a meal and speak on their experiences and hopes for their work and the music industry. They also speak on the different ways the uneventful events of 2020 (COVID-19) have affected their artistry both positively and negatively. 

Singer- Songwriter Bensoul is a Kenyan artist taking the African music scene by storm. The multi-instrumentalist who is also a Sol Generation signing eats, breathes and lives music affirming, “All I want to do is to leave a legacy by creating music that is timeless.” He describes his sound as an eclectic fusion of the live instruments and electronic elements that creates a unique and fresh urban sound. Alongside his music, Bensoul has also gained a lot of attention from Munchies Monday - a fun and hilarious project he began, where he gets to eat delicious food and have entertaining conversations. 

Chris Kaiga is a Kenyan based rapper born and raised in Nairobi, Kenya. His love and passion for music started in 2009 with the ambition of being a music producer but soon changed after recording his first single in 2011. From the Pombe Bhangi mixtape release in 2012, Chris has gone on to release the hit tracks ‘Zimenice’, and ‘Chain Chain’.
