For Robert Kyagulanyi, alias ‘Bobi Wine’, Kenya has always been home. It is where he had honed his artistry, recording in local studios for more than 10 years and became East Africa’s dancehall king.

He headlined several local concerts, won the respect of his peers and built a major fan base. He called Nairobi his second home and joked about relocating to the city.
