| dc.description.abstract | This paper takes analytical, descriptive and practical approach to unveil some new musical
perspectives and useful strategies for peace and social change engagements by musicians in
Kenya. While it is obvious that music entertains, it is not obvious that many of our musicians
are well positioned to effectively use music to bring about peace and social change as it is
sometimes desired. This paper therefore, proposes (a) Singing and Leadership (b) Percussion
for Inclusion (c) Nonviolence (d) the Creative Process in Peace-building (e) Motive for
Motion (f) Song-writing (g) Storytelling and Project Presentation (h) Trauma and Music (i)
Workshop Leadership (j) Drum Circles (k) the Musical Playground (l) Composing
Communities as critical areas our musicians should be enlightened to be able to effectively
contribute to the peace and social change initiatives in the society. The paper is a reflection of
my personal experience during the infamous 2007/08 post-election violence in Kenya as a
composer and performer, and how my training in advanced community music leadership has
impacted my creativity particularly in the use of the power of music to connect communities
and to bring about some social change. | en_US |
