Over the last one week a lot has ben ssid about the star boy otonglo. Well done boy. I have just seen an advert the boy has done for naivas... back to school...which derives from the choral verse the boy did. My question is...who owns the original work? Isnt it the teacher who composed the piece? Where does the teacher come in in this mix? What does the law say about copyrights. Hope this does not end up where 'malaika' song ended. Oh and i have just remembered the late poxi pressure...!!!

while the piece presented at the nationals may belong to anyone, otonglo is the luo name for a 10 cents coin. names don't belong to anyone. thus talking with a dholuo accent and using otonglo becomes a totally new work of art on its own.

Sadly the first guy who sang about Otonglo was thrown in by Mzee Kenyatta cos the song was then deemed inciting to the masses..
