East African Music has steadily evolved over the years, from the dull yet melancholic and interesting traditional style of music to a diverse rich tapestry of different genres most of which are direct tributaries of the traditional, cultural music style.^[1][2][3]

East African Music's inspiration and style is got from the different cultures, historic and social events, fantasies and myths, geographical landscapes and the creative art of East African people.^[4][5]

Currently, there are a number of music genres in East Africa. Some are intelligently weaved from the various East African Music styles while others are contemporary sub-genres derived from other global music genres. These genres are perfectly blended by a number of music specialists and the idea keeps expanding as years go by.^[6][7]

Modern Music Production has also played a big role in the evolvement of East African Music and development of music genres and sub-genres in the region. ^[8][1]

Modern Music Producers work hand in hand with musicians, music experts and creative music enthusiasts to come up with a style of music. This style is then adapted by music artists and finds its way through the media and music industry until its popularly recognized and publicly accepted as an authentic mainstream music genre/style.
