#tale of concerts
Concerts all over the city- all the time. That is what it feels like
nowadays. On Saturday, Konshens for the second time literally brought the
heavens down on the fans in a tight show.
Two years after he performed at the Sepetuka Music Festival as an
emerging artiste; Konshens was back. Many wanted to go but only a few mastered
the courage to. This was mostly because VIP-section ‘had not been arranged for”
and tickets sold at sh 500. There was a Golden Circle at the concert;; however,
and the atmosphere was phenomenal. The show had only two divas performing; yet
getting them on stage was proving to be a task.
Victoria Kimani; the first act of the night, did not perform until much
later. It would have helped a lot if her performance had matched her outfit-
which was smokin’ by the way.
Habida’s performance was, ironically, very well received in its first
hals; which was lived up with club hits such as ‘lights up” and ‘girls night
out”. Also favorites to the crowd were her Band Habida dancers; who had all
sorts of cat calls and cheers thrown their way.
Jua Cali was the clear crowd favorite among the local artistes and gave
the crowd his absolute best.
Konshens was received with delirium when he finally made it on stage. It
was a grab-all dance-all affair and he
even took pictures and videos of the adoring crowd for his Instagram page. Before
leaving, he introduced dancehall entrant star Javan, claiming the artiste would
be big by December.
Konshens is very reserved and avoided the throngs of groupies who
showed up at his numerous radio and television appearances, press conferences
and club appearances before the KICC show. And after he drove a few people crazy
with his performance, exit from the venue proved the difficult task as the security
perimeter went only as far a the City Hall roundabout.
Gerald and I had to “rescue” a group of ladies who were being accosted
by a group of young men that morning.
