Published on September 19, 2019, the music scene in East Africa is witnessing a significant shift with the emergence of new record labels. Harmonize has announced the formation of Konde Gang, while Ali Kiba has launched Kings Music, and Diamond Platnumz's WCB Records remains the biggest record label in the region.
