#specialnight
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28TH 2014
From the 1980s through to the 90s; up until today, younger Kenyans out
for a good time throng the Florida 2000
Discotheque along Moi Avenue. They throng in droves for the famous Sunday Super
Jam Session. For many of us, every Sunday at f-2 was like a rite of passage.
For the last three decades, the discotheque at Moi Avenue’s Commerce
House has been synonymous with Jam Sessions for the youngsters, hot music for
the party goers, cabarets and the famous midnight shows that make city-life
more interesting.
This has been synonymous with the famous nightspot for 30 years and
today, f-2, as it is popularly known, will host its 30th anniversary
party.
The party will be a journey from the past to the present with famous
DJS who have etched their reputations on the club’s vinyl spinning golden tunes
from years yonder to the lasts spin masters, all under one roof.
It promises to be a wild night unlike any other, celebrating Nairobi’s
nightlife. F-2 will also host a special VIP cocktail evening party from 9pm
today for invited guests and superstars in recognition of the fans that have
always supported them and stayed loyal to the Florida Group.
This comes barely 3-months after the iconic Madhouse Florida was closed
down after 35 years of entertaining Nairobi residents.
Down memory lane and young people in the 90s would come to town in the
afternoon to go for disco at Boomerang Club up the street, before Jam Session
was started to attract them. It took two weeks; the word went out and during
then, F-2 did not charge the youngsters.
After that, they started charging sh30; which has since today gone up
to sh100.
From us here at Nairobi’z Blogazine- it is Happy 30th
Anniversary F-2; keep it #NAINIGHTS.
