Kagomaz

Established in 2006, in Malindi, on the shores of the coast of Kenya; 3 men bound by their passion for music came together and formed what would soon be known as the music group 'Kagomaz'. Fyam & Welo' form this fantastic trio that boasts 3 lyricists and songwriters. The name Kagomaz means 'to strike' in the traditional Kiswahili and this is essentially what the trio did. Through seeing the moral decay inherent in society, Fyam and Welo made the conscious decision to take a stand against a lesser life and in 2006 Kagomaz made the move to the capital of Kenya. In the 6 years since their arrival in Nairobi, Kagomaz have marked their style as authentic, versatile and eclectic. Through an innate appreciation of their cultural roots, the melody of their music transcends translation and speaks to the heart. With a musical repertoire that boasts 9 releases and 7 music videos, their debut album entitled 'Mwanzo wa Kazi' (set for release in 2012) is destined to position Kagomaz as staples in the music industry. Driven by passion Kagomaz released their first single in 2006 and have just released their 9th single of their debut album. KAGOMAZ SONGS: 1: Nitarudi- 2006.
