Renowned Kenyan musician Juliani has become an unexpected catalyst for political activism with his hit song “Utawala,” which has galvanized protestors in the recent “Occupy Parliament” demonstrations. The song, which critiques governance and calls for social justice, resonated deeply with those opposing the 2024 Finance Bill, becoming an anthem for the movement. Protestors have been seen chanting the lyrics and using the song in videos documenting their marches.
Juliani’s influence underscores the power of music in social movements, bridging the gap between artistic expression and political action. His lyrics articulate the frustrations and hopes of many Kenyans, providing a rallying cry for change. The protests, driven by widespread dissatisfaction with the proposed economic measures, have gained momentum partly due to the emotional and motivational impact of Juliani’s music.
In response to the overwhelming support, Juliani expressed pride in the youth’s activism, commending them for their bravery and resilience. His acknowledgment further boosted morale among demonstrators, reinforcing the role of artists as voices for societal change. The “Occupy Parliament” protests continue to draw attention, fueled by a soundtrack that perfectly captures the spirit of the movement.
