Baze Music is a continuation of Safaricom’s support of Kenya’ creative industry.
A couple of months ago, Safaricom launched Baze, a video-sharing platform for local artists to share their work. It was a bid to place the entertainment Kenyans desire at their fingertips, while giving local content creators a chance to monetise their work. So far, Baze has been a successful venture and Safaricom has decided to expand by adding music streaming to the platform.
Baze music comes with some interesting new features. For example you can set any song as your SKIZA tune. The platform has a library of over a million songs that you can browse and set as your ringback tone.Genres that can be found in the library include gospel, gengetone, urban local, reggae and Bongo Flava. You can expect to find local faves Nikita Kering, Daddy Owen Guardian Angel, Trio Mio, Jua Cali, Bahati, Mejja, Nviiri The Storyteller, Femi One among others.
