Kenyan music collective Waitaliano has released a bold and emotional new track titled “Maandamano”

This song isn’t just a tune it’s a tribute, a reminder, and a rallying cry for justice. Waitaliano uses music to shine a light on the heartbreaking loss of lives due to police brutality in Kenya, especially during the protests of June 25, 2024. Through “Maandamano”, they honour the fallen and push for real, lasting change.
The track is packed with passion and truth. Each member of Waitaliano takes turns delivering raw verses that speak directly to the struggles and pain faced by young people across the country. Their lyrics ask important questions and call out to the youth, the police, the government, and everyday Kenyans to stop, listen, and talk to each other. With powerful bars and a gripping beat, “Maandamano” becomes more than music—it’s a national conversation starter on police reform, justice, and peace.
“Maandamano” is a must-listen for anyone who believes in the power of music to make a difference. It’s not just a song it’s a movement. Stream it today, share it widely, and join Waitaliano in raising your voice for a better Kenya.
