10 artistes making a quiet return after failed stints abroad 5 years ago
You have seen the images Kenyan entertainers returning from their sojourn in foreign lands looking shattered, their dreams of a better life having been dealt a crippling reality check.
While their sendoff was marked with fanfare and partying, their return is only celebrated by family members and close friends.
They left at the height of their careers, but now hardly anyone recognises them. They had seen their names in lights and wanted a bigger stage, probably inspired by the likes of Akon and other celebrities of African descent who found fame in the most hyped market in the world.
