A recording studio under construction in Gatanga for Sh25 million will promote upcoming artistes and reduce production costs, area MP Nduati Ngugi has said. “There is not a day that ends without Kenyans listening to music from Gatanga artistes. Talent is the cash crop of my constituency and the studio will help youngsters exploit their talent and expose them to the market,” he said. The winners of the talent search will be invited to curtain raise during Gatanga Night events that bring together local artistes and their fans. President Uhuru Kenyatta ordered the studio be set up during the funeral of veteran musician Joseph Kamaru in October last year.
