FRIDAY 28TH FEBRUARY; 2014
Lovers of urban-afro-soul came out in their large numbers on Friday
night for the Jahazi Concert; that saw two great bands share the stage- Lele
Ngoma and Fadhilee Bands.
The girls were dressed to impress and so were the men. As we drove into
the Safaricom’s Michael Joseph Centre; that Friday evening; it seemed every
lover of live-band music had answered the call.
We were ushered by great music of the Fadhilee band; warming hundreds of
fans up to what was to turn out to be a great night.
The mood was electrifying too as food delicacies and drinks flowed
freely. Being an end month; it seemed everyone was in the mood of ordering just
one more bottle just to keep up with the tempo.
The crowd also learnt a lot on sickle cell anemia as the event
organisers had partnered with Children Sickle Cell Foundation-in celebration of
their 100 years of combating sickle-cell. Other partners to the event were
Safaricom providing the event space and Waabeh.
As the night went by; Fadhilee band ushered in Lele Ngoma and the
audience was up on their feet. The crowd danced; sang along to some of the jams
and by 10pm; nobody wanted to leave.
With no time to be soaked up in the great moment; the crowd after the
event took the after party leave to the nearby westlands’ club joints. What a
night!
