What happens when you take a childhood hero in urban Kenya, a boy band, the internet and Kenyans in need of a superhero? You get Makmende. Most people who grew up in urban Kenya and spoke the slang of Shen'g know Makmende as a superhero of sorts. But boy group Just A Band has given it a whole new meaning in the video for its new single Ha He which has set social media alight and spilled over into the mainstream media KTN's Larry Madowo breaks down Makmende.

This is the second single from their latest album 82 . Creative stuff, other artists step your games up...starring Makmende & Patricia Kihoro .

This is the 2nd single from Just A Band's 82 album . Enjoy! Listen: Just A Band - "Ha He"

Listen: Liz Ogumbo - "Maro Pa More"

Performed at the launch of their latest album "82" on October 17th.  So I'm guessing since the in-thing for Kenyan artists is add the 'Afro" tag to their style of music, does that make JAB Afro-techno/Afro-house?

Coming just over a year after their groundbreaking debut album "Scratch to Reveal" Just A Band have returned with their highly anticipated sophomore album 82 . By now it is quite obvious that Just A Band are one of the more exciting and innovative artists on the Kenyan urban music scene, they just have this undeniable "cool" factor that attracts the young hip crowd toward them. Such a loyal fan base have they gathered that even their album launch is the talk of streets. So by now everyone is wondering just what they have in store for us with their latest release. What will they do this time, what will their new videos look like, what ground will they break in the Kenyan music scene? I must say I was one of those who was excited to hear their latest album, and so I picked up a copy at the pre-album release party. Immediately I got home I popped the CD it into my laptop and let it play, with one question in my mind; can the new album live up to expectations? An...

Yup, you read that right. ::KenyaChristian blog:: has got the exclusive first look at Just A Band's album cover for their sophomore album entitled "82 ." And boy what a creative album cover, I really love it! You don't see many creative Kenyan album covers frankly and I'm glad that Just A Band are trying something different with theirs.
