Top Entertainment Websites In Kenya
Kenya has in the past tenner seen a materialization of a handful of showbiz related web sites. The crucial intention of these internet sites is to disseminate information on the going ons in the Kenyan entertainment scene. This is for the most part via music news in the style of musician interviews, music clip assessments, thought pieces and blurb. In the 1990's period there was very little web presence of these sites. That has now transformed with most sites recommending Kenyan stuff in different types e.g blogging or through social networking.
I therefore intend to show a list of websites that we could say are leading in showbiz business back in Kenya. Here we go:
1. Ghafla!Kenya
This is the premier Kenyan showbiz website that was launched approximately nine months ago. It stand outs exceptionally in that they post music lyrics of Kenyan artists and embed the video links of the songs. This has gone a long way in promoting upcoming and the current crop of musicians achieves great heights musically. By the way these guys only post positive news of the industry,
2. CapitalFm Kenya
It started as a radio station and still is but inevitably moved into the web where it has quite a huge presence. With multiple Twitter accounts with hordes of followers this one is definitely one of the top entertainment news related sites in Kenya. The team there covers a barrage of news from politics to sport both locally and worldwide.
3. Izvipi
This one I discovered just lately but the shocker is that it has been around for quite a while! Taking a blog like approach in presenting their news they are a force to definitely watch. They also have some exclusive content on their website which shows they are well connected in the showbiz circles.
4. Vibe Weekly
This one seems to be taking over the landscape presently especially with the amount of readers on the site on a daily basis. Apart from the normal news reporting the great opinion pieces by the team and guest writers stand out. From relationships to other daily issues these guys kill it. They have also been involved in some corporate sponsorships gigs which has gotten them a lot of acclaim.
5. Media Madness Kenya
Previously known as Frankie Rants this is one comical website that highlights the injustices taking place in the media industry both by staff and employers, no one is spared their wrath. They have been mainly accused as rumor site but most of their stories come out to be true! Did I also mention they have the largest following among all these websites? Food for thought.
