#THE TREND

or me as a writer; I remember the
first time I heard H_Art the Band perform at the Pawa-254 during a regular
event now on poetry and music dubbed Fatuma’s Voices (read it here-
http://nairobizblogazine.blogspot.com/2013/08/backstage-pass-with-hart-band-ask-my.html).
Tracing that and how I went ahead to blog and write about their new sound-music
from the heart (H_Art) meeting poetry, and the other day, I couldn’t be proud
to see the band get featured on #TheTrend.
Mark Masai did an awesome job
interviewing and hosting the boys. Sing such a band get featured on a major TV
station such as NTV was massive for me. And their performance for their hit
single “#Uliza Kiatu” just blew me away literally.
#TheTrend; a highly followed evening show; provided
that much needed platform to highlight where Kenyan music is now going- and
what followed, fans in their legions and numbers online tripling on the social
media!
“So where are we now watching H_Art the Band?” The
age of youthful musical bands is here with us. It is a season when artists are
not only releasing records but also bringing together all the elements
together: music from the heart; rhythm, beat, poetry and melody; to create that
‘good to the ear’ sound.
We have moved from “throw your
hands in the air” stuff. The question is, are we ready to embrace this change? The
show on #TheTrend also featured Poet Teardrops- a performing spoken word
artist. Check him out!
