Bien Takes The Crown As Kenya’s Most-Streamed Artist On Spotify

Spotify Wrapped 2024 has arrived, giving us a chance to reflect on the music that has shaped Kenya’s year.

At the forefront of this celebration is Bien Aime Baraza, who has earned the title of the most-streamed local artist.

The soulful singer’s solo career has flourished and resonated deeply with fans nationwide, even after Sauti Sol’s 2023 break. His authentic Afropop hits have consistently captured the attention of music lovers and topped the charts.

Joining Bien in the spotlight are other notable Kenyan artists, including Wakadinali, Bensoul, Lil Maina, Nyashinski, Okello Max, Chris Kaiga, Nviiri the Storyteller, Sauti Sol, and Otile Brown. These artists have also made significant marks on the local music scene, bringing a mix of rap, R&B, and Afropop sounds to audiences.

Spotify Wrapped also sheds light on generational musical preferences. Young listeners have embraced new and emerging talents like Lil Maina and sosatheprodigyy’s Nakam Sai, while older audiences have turned to gospel icons such as Israel Mbonyi and Christina Shusho for their powerful and heartfelt songs.

Top tracks from the year have included songs like Kudade, Set It, Inauma, Anguka Nayo, and Ma Cherie, showcasing the diverse tastes and trends that resonated with Kenyan listeners.
