23:02
With a stellar second album titled Fweny (Revelations in Luo); Coster Ojwang’ – the Kenyan singer-songwriter and contemporary impressionist introduces himself to the world as a conscious storyteller. Inspired by everyday life, his upbringing, environment and people from all walks of life; Coster has grown into an artist led by authenticity and passion for creating art, and performing live music.
In this interview, Coster is taking Anyiko through beautiful tales of Luo music and his identity; painting a picture of where he grew up in Andingo in Migori county in Western Kenya. Despite a childhood with misfortunes, his upbringing, engulfed by art and fun activities in school, would influence his future, creative path and decision to relocate to Nairobi. Coster’s music career only kickstarted in 2021 with his debut album ‘Tales of the Fisherman’. He has since been on an upward trajectory, with both his painting and music excelling in equal measure. Coster is modest, honest, witty and wise at the same time. Some people were just born artists – period.
