Rusha Roho is Radio Citizen’s weekly Taarab show.
This is a purely musical show where Taarab music directs the conversation and mood.
Taarab music typically features emotive vocals, often sung by female vocalists with a number of male vocalists. The lyrics often explore themes of love, romance, societal issues, and cultural identity, and they are delivered with passion and expressiveness. It is characterized by its rich blend of melodies, rhythms, and poetic lyrics, often sung in Swahili.

The setting is Coastal and is best enjoyed in a group with the listeners interpreting the lyrics as they swing along. Rusha Roho is meant to blend with this listener and keep them entertained while singing along to the lyrics and dancing to the rhythm.

Radio Citizen remains the leading Radio station at Kenya’s coast and Rusha Roho is meant to be the icing on the cake for the loyal audience.

The show is hosted by Melody Sinzore.
