We Kenyans are very protective of the children because we believe kids belong to the community

I am married to kikuyu woman.all kenyan Women Very jealous type women.

Kenya has always had community-based parenting or protection of kids. I remember growing up whenever i did something wrong and my parents weren't around any other adult who knew me would take up the responsibility of guiding me or punishing me and they would wait till my parents came back from work so as to inform them on what happened. I was always safe playing outside

About the country music thing, we got it from our parents! Mine are from the mountain and they grew up farming, milking cows, picking tea, coffee so they really related to country music. Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton, Don Williams were very normal parts of our growing up, however, so was Michael Jackson, Marvin Gaye, Lionel Richie, Donna Summer, The Temptations, The Supremes... pretty much all of Motown. And yes, people also like Rock and Reggae. Actually, you will hear all types of Music in Kenya. Everybody has their thing and we are all okay. I think the Country and the Rock is a bit shocking for African Americans though😂. Don't worry, you'll get used to it.

Why do I feel like we all grew up in the same household? 😂 😂... This was the norm even on my side, especially when we used to go visit our grandparents, we were Nairobi born so going to the country side, that's where country music came to play. It was such a vibe growing up during that era, before technology and social media came to play.

We’re glad they’re having a great experience.

Country music is loved the whole of kenya especially during holidays like Christmas. We actually have Kenyans singing country music.

Yeeeeeeeeeesssss, when you guys visit Kenya, you should link up with them... Your energies match.

I was brought up listening to Country music, Soul and Rhumba here in Nairobi.

“My land is Kenya” is a country music song sang by Roger Whittaker.He was born and bred in Kenya before moving to Europe.The song is used till todate as a patriotic song especially on national events.I believe back in the days most people loved the genre.

Played it in high school disco entertainment nights. Just for it's vibes. Also Kenyan country music covers especially in the mountain regions in local vernacular; is a treasure trove of either filth or gold mine of coded innuendos tbh.😅

Mfalme Musa so right and super observant Kenyans and Country music. Am a Kenyan living in Los Angeles and yes give me Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers and Don Williams any time! My dream is to attend one of Dolly's concert one day.😀

Haha I'm a long time follower of Mfalme and his wife Dorothy. Mfalme is a very grounded guy. That's a recipe for success. There are obviously things that will frustrate you in another country, _especially_ if you're going from a developed to a developing country. Not letting the frustration get to you is important. The 3 music genres that older people (generally 35 and up) obsess about is Congolese Rhumba, reggae/dancehall and country. I'm pretty much an encyclopaedia of reggae. The country crowd is a bit older, but definitely a substantial population. We have some country music events where people meet and chill on stacks of hay haha. Dion was touched by that part on kindness to children. 😀

The reason for bargaining is that in Africa and especially Kenya we had a market day back in our traditional days..: going to the market was supposed to be a fun day and a day for interacting and making new friends …the bargaining part is creating a rapport with people that you don’t know

There's no exact standard measure of most groceries, so it's open for bargaining...operation negotiations to your budget❤ Actually, bargain anything including rent😂😂

It's a good take about the culture back home. Those are just a few, there are many more.....I was thinking of writing a book when I got to the states 11 years ago😂

All buldings in Nairobi have some sort of security, all malls and public buildings have scanners and detectors everyone must pass through before enterning, this become even more available after 2013 terrorist attack of West Gate Mall in Nairobi.

Everything he says is 100% true. On the children part, we grew up been taught that children do not belong to the parents alone but to the whole community. Kenyans appreciates all kind of music from across the world, every foreigner get surprised hearing music from their countries being played everywhere in Kenya.

My kids school. During enrollment, you give the contacts, a photo and ID of people allowed to see/visit the kid in school. Max of 4. And you have to show the relationship to the kid. Before they're picked the immediate parents/ guardians are called(video) to say if they're aware.

Here for the growth of this chanel ❤🎉

Great video!! Thank you for sharing Mr. Musa’s informative video!!

We play R&B and hip hop too,,,its not all country music. It just shocked Musa ;)

Kenyaaaa ❤❤❤

Am Nigerian and I love country music

❤❤❤❤❤ wow welcome to Kenya, you will find me here Nairobi. Welcome to Kenya.

Karibuni Kenya 🇰🇪 (welcome to Kenya)

most of american private properties,schools homes do not have perimeter walls or gates . you enter an African premise through a serious layer of security men.no chances of stressing the community

Kenya is in a somewhat unique situation in Africa. They have to be alert for terrorism so security must be high. As a tourist or potential immigrant, black Americans must be aware of this also as it means they can be valuable hostages and targets in certain (& so far rare) circumstances. I applaud the vigilance though, the children must be protected.

A Swahili saying goes:"usipoziba UFA,utajenga ukuta"... meaning" if you don't repair the cracks, you will build a new wall." Security in Kenya is important given previous terrorist acts we take prevention measures.

For the bargaining part. You won't go out and pargain for everyday items like Bread, Drinks and stuff like that. But when see someone selling some nice shoes, Electronics etc, you have to bargain, or you'll get robbed here.

About children, in Kenya we don’t have anything like ‘stranger danger’

Avocado in kenya especially in rural areas you will get them for few cents. They are huge

I remember my dad coming to clear my fees and remained a 'stranger' to me till he gets permission to talk to his daughter. I could only wave from a distance 😂😂

YAA we are a country music people

Country music scene is big in kenya. Kenny rogers visited kenya and was surprised people could sing his songs in rural places.

Bargaining comes from the traditional barter trade where you bargain with sellers and buyers to exchange for what you have or need.

❤❤❤

Thank you. We’ve had terror attacks hence the tight security everywhere. Yes we love country music. Karibu Kenya

The Part of children, IT IS very true AS Well as the bargaining Part. Even us (am a Kenyan) WE bargain. I would advice you Go with a local to buy items the First Times then you will know the actual price

Doesn't itn't it make you a better entrepreneur having had to bargain for 70% of your life?🤣 70% is arbitrary, not everything is bargaining power, but you get the point.

Even in Dubai every is camera. If you drive speed there is scanner on the top of car you'll get text for speeding. This is how we grew up in Africa. But we only Gospel music. We love God and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 🙏

Bargaining is really nice

you can get three avocados for around 1 dollar...depending on where your buying them from...

The country music is mostly Kenny Rogers coz of places Like matatu, über and Bars Play them. Plus WE listen to so much American music so Country is mostly what WE can listen with our parents

Yeah...pay 'Mzungu price' karibu Kenya.

Good reaction. However, (1) there are places in nairobi where you don't bargain. (2) the mzunngu prices apply not just to mzungu or AAs but also to kenyans in the diaspora (if the seller happens to know), and other non kenyan Africans. Kenyans in the diaspora can avoid this by speaking local swahili when bargaining. That's why non kenyan Africans, eg. Nigerians living in kenya learn swahili very fast. It's a good financial survival strategy.
