Kenya’s has a rich music history but one has to really scratch his heads to find an all-girl group that has been intact for a while.
Several all-boys bands have successfully thrived the waves and even broken into the international arena. Some of such groups are Kleptomaniacs, P Unit, Sauti Sol, Deux Vultures, Kelele Takatifu, Christ Cycos, Amos and Josh, Gospel Fathers and Kymo &Stigah.
Other bands; girl-boy bands are Recapp, Adawanage, Necessary Noize, Camp Mulla and Elani.
Some other bands mentioned above have broken apart while other have remained intact.
