A new Kenyan series titled ‘Volume’ is now streaming on Netflix.
Released on the 20th of December, 2023 and directed by Tosh Gitonga, Volume is a music drama series that follows a talented young musician from humble beginnings who gets entangled in dubious dealings while chasing his dream.
Though the series revolves around music, it is really the story of boys becoming men. The hood where they live represents the challenges all young people face, the music which pumps through their veins, represents hope and a future.
Speaking to Tosh prior to the release he intimated that the series is a coming to age story that covers the subject of mental health in a complex way.
The cast of Volume includes Brian Kabugi (Salem), Francis Ouma (Sincerely Daisy), Stephanie Muchiri (Second Family), Serah Wanjiru (Second Family), Brahim Ouma (Pepeta), Blessing Lung’aho (Country Queen), Michelle Tiren (Famous), Ugandans Natasha Sinayobye and Tania Kankindi and more.
With an ensemble cast that brings depth and authenticity to their roles, the series transcends the boundaries of a traditional music drama, evolving into a resonant narrative of self-discovery, resilience, and the universal journey of youth navigating the complexities of life.
‘Volume’ not only entertains but also offers a poignant reflection on the transformative power of dreams, set against the backdrop of a world where music becomes the heartbeat of hope.
