Kenyan Veteran Artists Still Doing Their Thing

The Kenyan music industry is one that is very infamous especially when its comes longevity.

However some acts have not only beaten the odds by being relevant in the games for a couple of years but decades Nameless is one classic example of an artist that has braved the Kenyan music storm to last an amazing 25+years.

Another classic example is Nyashinski who remains to be the only Kenyan artist to go for a break and return to reign the airwaves with classics , We cannot forget Mejja who has a had a hit nonstop for 18 years.

Nonini is another example of consistency as the Genge godfather has been active since the turn of the millenia and is still dropping music with his recent one being Reset ft Kitu Sewer.

Swali inabaki ni , who do you think is the veteran who has stood out the most ?

Jeevanjee mahali jimwat alipatwa na under 18😹

Who was Jeevanjee?-Alibhai Mulla Jeevanjee made his mullah in Kenya as a merchant, ‘importing’ labour. Of course, we all know his last name, Jeevanjee and the eponymous Jeevanjee Gardens he donated in 1906 to the people of Nairobi.
When he donated the Gardens, AM Jeevanjee was a wealthy dude. Never mind he left his conservative Bohra community heritage in Pakistani for East Africa without having “chewed” books that much. But he was to coin his dough during the construction of the Uganda Railway.

In 1901 he bought the Indian bazaar in Nairobi, and in 1904 built a permanent market named Jeevanjee market with the aim of developing trade in European produce on a global scale. His plans were thwarted following the outbreak of a plague in 1908, which authorities blamed on unhygienic conditions in his market and resulted in the colonial government restricting lower class Indians and Africans to specific quarters for residence and small time trading. In 1910, European settlers opened a market in Nairobi for the exclusive use of Europeans in order to circumvent and circumscribe Jeevanjee and other Indians within the economic sphere.At the time Indians controlled nearly 85 percent of the colony's trade.

He was also a notable philanthropist, supporting religious institutions, the Bohra mosque and cemetery in Nairobi and several schools in Karachi. In 1906 he gifted Nairobi City Council a marble statue of Queen Victoria which he had commissioned. During the First World War, he offered his services to the government to help alleviate food shortages suffered by Indians in German East Africa and Zanzibar.

This means Alibhai Mullah was one of the earliest investors to profit from ‘human resource management’ when he went to Punjabi, India, and brought skilled labourers, artisans, bricklayers, carpenters, plumbers, tailors and mechanics for the railway project.
Railway stations were needed along the ‘Lunatic Line.’ Alibhai Mullah got the contract besides erecting post offices throughout Kenya. Okay, where the railway passed.

When construction of the Uganda Railway reached Lake Victoria, Jeevanjee began taking an active role in political life, and launched the African Standard(THE STANDRAD newspaper) which was a weekly newspaper. He had hired an editor-reporter, W.H. Tiller whose work was to oversee the operations of the newspaper.

In 1905, he sold the newspaper to two British businessmen, Anderson and Mayer, who renamed it the East African Standard.Later in 1910 the paper became a daily newspaper and it moved its headquarters to Nairobi which was a fast developing commercial center.
Jeevanjee died of a heart attack on 2 May 1936, in Nairobi, at the age of eighty.

He was survived by his wife and two sons. At the time of his death he was a bankrupt, having lost his vast fortune by gambling in produce.One newspaper described him as the "Grand Old Man of Kenya", whilst another stated he was the "first man to demand equality and that "he laid the foundations of an organised political movement in Kenya".He was buried according to Islamic ritual on the day he died at the Bohra Cemetery in Nairobi.
