Tusker project fame’s Meet & Greet

Wednesday,October 27th 2010.

I’m waiting………still  waiting……

They did say these guys will be coming from  4pm…..well, i guess  this is still Kenya (African timers) and to give them credit, they are coming from the dreaded Thika road where the language is traffic, traffic,traffic.
The nail-biting game of waiting is wearing on the faces of envious onlookers which is constantly punctuated by odd questions: wako wapi? (where are they?); wanakam? (are they coming?)




Exactly 5:03pm and the four step onto the stage to the vicious roars from the ever over zealous crowd at San Valencia restaurant; ground floor- Anniversary towers. Yep! you know it….its the quartet on probation this week. They are Amelina, steve, Juve and Gabiro.

From the crowds reaction, you can tell steve is very popular with the ladies when they are introduced (ha! ha! everyone knows them) one by one to the now swelling crowd. By the way, the whole kenyan trio of Steve, Juve and Amelina are on probation this week plus Gabiro (from Rwanda). We are guessing steve is going nowhere- at least not this week.



Apparently, don’t quote me, Amelina is not quite, according to the ‘groupies’ here and when each contestant does the intro jig…. the chants and roars become louder and louder…

They must sing.Of course.One by one they belt out the tunes that put them on probation this week to the elated crowd who can’t seem to get enough.













Safe to say they didn’t have much time coz the each did a chorus from their songs and started the meet and greet thing…..soliciting for votes to save them……My number is Tusker blah blah…..

And before you know it….They were off to the Academy to fine-tune their voices for Saturday….where one person has to go home. Who do bet it is.

Twakutukuza concert.......saturday 23rd

The National Museum's Louis Leakey Auditorium was a bee-hive of activity last weekend.

Twakutukuza trust was doing a concert for the benefit of those fighting breast cancer. This a brain-child of Doris Mayoli, a cancer survivor, intended to create awareness and help raise funds for the fight against cancer. From the turn-out on saturday, one would confidently say that guys at Twa (Twakutukuza) were not dissapointed in the least bit.

All and sundry braved the Saturday down-pour to fill the Leakey Auditorium as artist after artist gave their all to make the event a success. The concert was running from friday the 22nd to Sunday the 24th.


Kanjii mbugua's 'dream again' epitomizes the struggle Doris went through as a cancer patient and the ultimate glory of healing, alas! God doesn't waste pain but uses it to minister to others.This seems to be the rallying cry to give hope and inspiration to the cancer patients out there while raising funds to assist those undergoing treatment.

..........I can be food to the beggar saying will you help me man!.........

kanji  belts out the tune implying we are the hope and answers to a people going through pain and tough times.

Aaron 'crucial keys' rimbui led the band throughout the evening and played for the Twa choir which led the ever zealous crowd to inspiring jibes and jives of popular chorus which led the souls higher and higher into glorious oblivion.

.......eeh eh eh my God is good oh!......reciprocated the crowd as the night seemed to grind to a halt since no one was tempted to leave.

.......everything go double double..........go double double...... and the cycle goes on and on and on.

Neema and Andy Mburu also didn't dissapoint as the attendants kept yearning for more throughout the evening.

As far as Charity events go, Twa has gone a notch higher in redifining corporate responsibility and  from the names on the poster it isn't hard to figure out why they all want to be associated with Twakutukuza Trust.
Such are: Classic 105, X-fm, Passion magazine, Kipawa and the ever talented kijiji records crew.

Enough said! that was a saturday well spent.
