Forget about the cold
mood-swings of July. Nairobians braced the cold for yet another stellar South African
act at the Carnivore Grounds.
Durban born musical
extraordinaire; Zakes Bantwini brought the house down as he took to the stage;
with self- crafted style of “sophisticated dance music”.
This comes barely
weeks after yet another South African songstress Zahara; blew everyone away
with her amazing performance at the June edition (http://tpf5.blogspot.com/2013/07/backstage-pass-zahara-kenya-is.html)
Following in the same footsteps of great performances;
included opening acts by Berklee student/ musician John Sibi Okumu; the Swahili
Jazz maestro Juma Tutu and his band.
Juma Tutu backed by
his band showcased native Mijikenda traditional music blended in Asian; Arabic
and western sounds.
Making her second
return to the event; was Kagwe Mungai; who brought his afro- funky house flavor
and sounds from his fresh EP ”It Only Gets Better” featuring collaborations
with Fena Gitu and Julie Wang’ombe.
And in August/ September;
grab your shuka; picnic basket and tag along your family and friends to
Naivasha- the cradle of mankind. Yes; Blankets and Wine are partnering with the
Rift valley festival to throw the biggest music festival in Kenya.
So; between august 3oth to September 1st; be
prepared to get your mind blown off with brilliant tunes- both local and
international acts; as the event producing powerhouses team up once again to
ensure a guaranteed diverse and exceptional line-up.
