This study examines patterns of music production and consumption in Kenya in the last twenty years. Using the religious television program Sing and Shine as a starting point, a musical genre called gospel was commodified. The program's initiators set out to identify talent, composition and performance practice of gospel musicians who were citizens or resident in Kenya. The artists have appeared on the thirty-minute weekly program since April 1985.

520 $a This study examines patterns of music production and consumption in Kenya in the last twenty years. Using the religious television program Sing and Shine as a starting point, a musical genre called gospel was commodified. The program's initiators set out to identify talent, composition and performance practice of gospel musicians who were citizens or resident in Kenya. The artists have appeared on the thirty-minute weekly program since April 1985.
520 $a Gospel music is rooted in the Christian religion that was adopted in Kenya beginning towards the end of the nineteenth century. While Christian missionaries came with their own styles of music, Africans soon began to compose Christian songs. Initially the music by Africans was based on European sonic models, but eventually, other styles founded on African cultural and musical understandings were established. With increased global interaction, composers and performers negotiated with their contemporary situations to create a music that bespoke their situational, historical and cultural identity.
520 $a In order to identify the characteristic musical styles that were propagated, created and marketed, the author examines the cultural, social and musical histories of musicians seminal to solidifying of the gospel genre advocated on Sing and Shine. The analysis of the commercial recordings by these musicians describes each artist's stylistic compositional and presentational tendencies. The marketing of this commodity on national television created a booming music industry leading to marked changes in patterns of music production and consumption, and an empowerment of the concept of a contemporary Kenyan musician outside western academic foundations and expectations. Music producers profiting from the market have now become key instigators of the content of the musical product and increased the performers and their audience beyond Christian related functions to "secular" arenas.
