KABEAUSHÉ

If the name doesn’t ring a bell, drop everything for the time it takes to listen to These Dishes Ain’t Gonna Do Themselves, his 2023 single, best enjoyed with its gloriously chaotic, vividly colourful video, just as wild as the man himself. Here’s what will happen: a full-blown shock to the system – a dazzling aesthetic and musical blast that simultaneously hits the eyes and the chest with its near-tribal rhythms and whirlwind of R&B, hip-hop, funk and electro-pop influences. Think Outkast or N.E.R.D. in full genre-bending mode. Hailing from Kenya (by way of the cosmos, most likely), Kabochi Gitau is truly original and impossible to categorise. Before launching his solo career, he cut his teeth as part of Uganda’s Nyege Nyege collective. An unmissable and spectacular revelation !
