Huruma Town Kids came into the limelight when their parody skits began circulating on social media in 2019. This attracted an audience that lauded the group for its impeccable re-enactment skills.
The kids seem to go the extra mile by using cheap artistic costumes in order to create a perfect impression and make the video appear more realistic. They then share the video with a side-by-side view of the original video and their own parody.
The videos have also gained notable recognition from American producer DJ Khaled as well as German-based station DW.
Kenya Film and Classification Board (KFCB) CEO Ezekiel Mutua also took note of their parody videos and offered to assist them in their art.
“(I) would like to buy them the equipment they are looking for in support of their talents. It’s so gratifying to see young kids having so much fun in art,” he acknowledged.
He added that the pieces recreated by the kids emulate KFCB’s policy on clean content.
“You know that our campaign on clean content has made an impact when kids in the slums can capture the message so succinctly and with fun. Thank you H-Town Kids. You are the best,” Mutua stated.
