Hip Hop music producers in Kenya by housniy
Hi, I'm looking for some Hip Hop music producers in Nairobi for a bunch of tracks. Any suggestions on whom I can contact and how I can get in touch? I'm willing to invest in a really good producer.
That would be +254 ***, right? Do you use Whatsapp? Read More

Is Mpesa safe? I was thinking I'd open up two bank accounts. One with my savings (without a card) and the other for my months spendings (with a debit card) and only carry that one debit card around. That would be quite safe in the event I was ... Read More

Ah, that's too bad. I'm limited by how much money I can withdraw with my debit card due to currency exchange laws in my country. I'll figure something out. Thanks Torewest. That was really nice of you. Read More

Thanks Torewest. That would help a lot! I actually want to eventually get citizenship there but for now, I can only stay for a maximum of 6 months (if I extend my 3 month visa) at a time so I will have to re-enter every 6 months. So, eventually, I ... Read More

Hmm perhaps the rules have changed? Or Chase is not tourist friendly? I messaged Chase on FB yesterday and this is what they replied with "To open an account, work permit is mandatory if you are not a citizen." Read More

I'll be in Kenya on a tourist visa for a few months from August. As a tourist, can I open up a bank account and receive money from the US?
Hmm that's too bad. The problem I have is my local bank won't allow me withdraw more than a certain amount per month (due to currency exchange laws in my country). So, I can only withdraw a certain amount via my ATM but in the event of an ... Read More

Excellent, thanks for that. Do you remember the requirements for opening an account at the time? I'll make sure I contact them also. Read More

Thanks the both of you. Well, I have an old school hip hop background but I'm looking to make a slightly newer sound. Here's something I recorded recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejefE4JFZKM Let me know how I can get in touch with ... Read More
Safest place to be during the elections by housniy
I'll be in Kenya from August 3rd onwards. I understand the elections are on the 8th. What is the safest place to be? Either city or even a specific hotel. And how long should I remain at that location? For example, is Diani in Mombasa safer ...
Great info. I know the UN office is in Gigiri so I might look for a safe place around Gigiri/Runda then. I should be fine if I plan to stay there from the 3rd to the end of the month. Thanks! Read More
