Kenyan band H_art the band is set to celebrate the anniversary of their debut single “Uliza Kiatu” which premiered on May 10 2014.
Capitalising on the current relevance of the song following a security incident in Migori that saw President William Ruto hit by a shoe while addressing a crowd, band member Mordecai Dex announced his first-ever live show.
“On May 10th 2014, “Uliza Kiatu” our debut single, dropped on all streaming platforms. On May 10th 2025, I play my first live show and the whole gang is gonna be there with me for this special night,” Mordecai said. “Can’t wait to sing along with you as we celebrate Uliza Kiatu’s 11th birthday.”
The song, which premiered over a decade ago, asks its audience to “ask the singer’s shoe” about his experiences, a phrase that has taken on new meaning on social media following the security incident.
