On this week's episode of THE HASHTAG podcast, we sit down with the artist well-known for his stellar stage performances. Kamanu seamlessly blends traditional Meru music with modern sounds, creating a timeless fusion of ancestral echoes and urban vibes that appeals to a wide audience.
Beyond his musical prowess, Kamanu's journey is truly inspiring. Albinism has not hindered his vibrant career; he's also a successful entrepreneur in entertainment and fashion and a passionate environmentalist.
So, how did "Kamanu" become his stage name? He acquired it while performing the Kamanu song. The MC at the time couldn't recall his name and simply called him "Kamanu." Kamanu M'tuamwari embraced it, seeing it as a way to honor the traditional Meru song and keep its spirit alive through his own identity.
