Hosted by Dj Hypnotiq; Dj Stretch and
listen To Slick; the Hennesy sponsored event went down attracting both fashion
and a hyped crowd. Eyecon Photography were there too.
So it seems now that the trending way to have your video being the talk
of town is going the sexy and passionate way as Sauti Sol did. Well some say it
is a reflection of art about the society and if that is so then it means our
ladies are yearning for more intimacy if Sanaipei Tande’s latest video is
anything to go by.
The video done by Onfon Productions has scenes set in the bedroom and
shower and is quite a high quality HD video. The concept is also quite easy to
grasp and the director has chosen to hide the Mfalme (king) in the video.
As I write this; the video is at 73,000 hits already on YouTube. What we
remain to see is whether the video will only be a YouTube hit and not make it
to TV as others before it have done.
Grandpa Records are back with a new style- a blend of Bongo
(Tanzania) and Ohangla (Kenya). The latest release by Kepher prince dubbed
#Oberana-my beautiful; oozes pure praise and innocence of love. The video is
quite colorful and the choice of scenes shot in atop hotel adds to the video’s
quality and tempo.
The artiste’s decision to rock colorful suits including Gor
Mahia jerseys; and the lady in colorful dresses that compliment her body helped
create an alluring contrast. The out-door shot video has a well-balanced light
exposure and this is a thumbs up to the director.
Kepher Prince is a new act and he has room to improve but al
in all; the video is easy for the eyes. Check out another video by Grandpa’s Kidis-
full shangwe and the new video by Bwana Ngoma and Kristoff- Nipe…
“Naona Bado” is the latest music video that has brought
together two great coast based vocalists Sudi Boy and Amileena in this amazing
song that has a bongo feeling to it. It is a simple but easy to grasp dramatized
video set in a coastal village.
The song was officially launched at Refigah’s wedding last
month and Amileena particularly wowed the gathered crowd with her vocals,
earning prolonged applause at the end.
Shot by Hamza Omar of One Point One Montage;
the video tells a story of Sudi whose wife-Amileena; has refused to bear him a
child and now he wants to bring in another wife but Amileena is against it.
And still on matters on love, Rabbit Kaka Sungura has
also released a new love themed song- “bado nakupenda”. The indoor shot
video goes ahead to stem Rabbit as a great poet and rapper as he expresses
himself on the track.
The video would have been more established on the love theme
with more outdoor scenes and the lyrics to accompany some dramatized scenes-
but that is just our take! Directed by Wawesh; it features Safari Sound
Band on the chorus.
Also kindly check out this new video release of Victoria Kimani
featuring Bien of Sauti Sol.
Kenya rocks! And Kenya music rocks! I am glad discussions
are on-going everywhere on Kenyan music that has rapidly grown up and out. A
thriving music scene exists throughout Kenya with new local styles. And Akothee’s
latest release- “pashe” incorporates tales of the past with sounds from the
present.
The song is well shot and the village scenes also enhance
the video. The vigorous dances of Akothee and her girls set the clip’s high
tempo. The story is about “pashe”- a guy who lives larger than life and has
managed to convince everyone of his good life; yet on the contrary he is a poor
person.
The change of dressing from kitenge on some scenes to tights
and white tops while dancing also worked great and the director does a
commendable job- balancing the video exposure and the final mix down.
And in a rather characteristic fashion borrowed from his hit
song ‘kwata kawaya’; gospel star Mbuvi has again release a fast and highly dramatized
video for his latest song ‘mutui museo’; which loosely translates to “good neighbor”-check
it out!
The month of May 2014 saw business come to a standstill along
the busy
Bunyala and Machakos road, when the big boys turned up in large numbers
with their motorbikes on Sunday 18th may.
This was to facilitate the Superbike Championship practice
race from 8am to 5pm. It was the Super Bikers invites only qualifying trial. Talk
of speed and the risky of this event that saw the roads closed and local access
maintained.
Sponsored by The Nairobian newspaper and General Motors,
this year’s event attracted more participants and spectators compared to last
year’s.
The event also saw world leading bike brands grace the occasion-
from Yamaha to Suzuki, to Ducati, to BMW- you name it!
Last year, the event took place in Tatuu City road in Ruiru
but was moved to Industrial Area this year; the finals at the same place on
June 15th this year! Be there!
Thank you all who made
it a success and we celebrate you all for making it happen.From the djs to the
crowd to the organizers everythang was amazing. Until next time see
