Great to see that Kenya is developing the continent's first locally-built music application. I think it was time that we developed our own music app with just the same features as the international ones if not better, providing African music and is being handled by Africans and Smubu is just the app. I'll be waiting to hear that it is now available for the whole continent.
I'm not from Kenya, but as an African, this is a really proud piece of news. I feel some kind of kinship towards this progress. I'd like for such music startup to proliferate and also get to Nigeria. As you have rightly pointed out, it is high time Africans started having some form (total) of control over their music. This is a welcome development and this new 200k user landmark reached by smubu is an indication that it is really welcomed in Kenya. Well done.
