Tabu Osusa
Bio
William Osusa (better known as Tabu Osusa) is the author of Shades of Benga: The Story of Popular Music in Kenya and founding executive director of Ketebul Music. Osusa has been actively involved in the arts and culture sector for more than 35 year and is a recognisable name in the East African music industry as a songwriter, recording artist, band manager, author and documentary film and music producer.
As the executive director of Ketebul Music, he has shaped the careers of musicians and run some of the top recording and performing bands in East Africa such as Les Kinois in the mid-1970s, Orchestra Virunga in the early 1980s and Nairobi City Ensemble in 2000s.
Osusa is a founding member of Equation Musique, a programme initiated in 2008 by the Franch Institute to support and bring together music professionals from the Southern Hemisphere.
He is also the East African representative for Kenya and a member of the consultative committee for Visa for Music, a platform that offers opportunities for artists and professionals in the music industry in Africa and the Middle East to showcase their accomplishments.
In 2006, Osusa was appointed creative producer and consultant for Muziki wa Kenya, a series of concerts supported by Goethe-Institut aimed at showcasing indigenous Kenyan music.
In 2008, Osusa was appointed project coordinator of Retracing Series, a three-part documentary that captures the historical events that helped define East African music.
In 2009, Osusa represented East Africa on the selection panel of the proposed Centre for Black Music during the selection process held in Paris, France. As of 2011, Osusa has been the project coordinator for Singing Wells, a partnership between Ketebul Music and the Abubilla Music Foundation (UK).
In 2014, Osusa and his Ketebul Music team were appointed by the Smithsonian Institute, in conjunction with the Ministry of Sports, Culture and the Arts, to lead and curate the music that was showcased at the Kenyan stand at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival held in Washington, DC.
