Raghava KK: Five lives of an artist

Raghava KK is an artist who started by drawing cartoons in the classroom. Listening to him and see what he has done, you’ll agree with me, his pencils & paint brushes are mightier than the sword. One thing that really impressed me with Raghava is his creativity, and how his art evolves and transforms, while still maintaining its originality.

Secondly, how he collaborates with different type of artists to revolutionize his own is just so impressive. I hope young artists will learn not to limit themselves, kwani ubunifu kama huu ndio unao kosekana kwa wasanii wengi wa Bongo Hip Hop/ Bongo flava na hata aina nyingine za sanaa.

Bahati was born and raised in Tanzania, and then moved to California to pursue his college education. He graduated in 2008 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science and a minor in Sociology. Bahati expects to be doing his Masters in African Studies in the near future. He is currently working on starting a t-shirt business and a possible publication of some of his writings. One thing that Bahati cannot live without is music, specifically Hip Hop & Bongoflava which he argues are both the voice of the youth today, and is excited to look into how Bongoflava can be a source of further entrepreneurship among the youth in Tanzania. Bahati believes that Bongoflava can help to reduce poverty in Tanzania, as can a more collective effort among key players.

  1. Raghava have inspired me very nice presentation, gud thing i have attended TEDxDar last month…

  2. Lucky you, Gill!

    Very touching stories… seems like the best way to communicate with your audience is to reflect on your life experiences and project them onto art.

    Mfano mzuri ni Man Dojo na Domo Kaya, somehow nyimbo zao zinaonekana zinawagusa watu wengi (kutokana na visa walivyovipata kwenye maisha yao). Ukianza kusahau hayo, unakuwa unashindwa hata kuwa na identity.

    Pia, kitu kingine ni kubadilika kadri muda unavyoenda…
