Description

Why DJ Afro Movies No Longer Appear on Mainstream TV You know that voice — even if you never watched a full movie with him, you laughed along. DJ Afro. He made sure you understood every Mandarin, Hindi or Hollywood film, and you were laughing the whole time. His story started in the slums, in small video shows in Kibera, Rongai and Kiserian — a young man named James Muigai carrying a bag of heavy VHS tapes and narrating films live to a crowd because recording equipment was too expensive. That is where his style was born. Other translators just translated. DJ Afro performed. Then his recorded movies spread across the country, into Tanzania and the rest of East Africa, until they reached the biggest TV stations in Kenya. Every house knew him. Then something went wrong. His movies were pulled off TV, brought back briefly, then gone again. Search for DJ Afro on free-to-air TV today — you won't find him. In this video, we go back to understand what happened to DJ Afro, who stopped it, and what he did next. There is something Kenyans were never told. #DJAfro #djafromovies #KenyaMovies #djafrokihindimovies
