http://www.the-star.co.ke...Visiting Jamaican artiste Tarrus Riley caused a stir in Nairobi on his arrival on Friday. Tarrus, who was accompanied by his band and his father, was driven in a limo from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport into town. His convoy attracted lot of attention with curious touts and street urchins peeping through the tinted windows to catch a glimpse of the Jamaican superstar as his convoy snaked through Uhuru Highway.
The rastaman had to oblige and opened the window to greet his fans. When he got to Haile Selassie Avenue, Tarrus stopped to take a photo under the signpost of the avenue which honours the Ethiopian leader. Haile Selassie is revered as the returned messiah of the Bible, God incarnate, among the Rastafari movement. The self-proclaimed Mr Singy Singy also excited fans in Westlands who rushed to his limo to greet him. "Nairobi is very beautiful.
The traffic is not as thick as you make it sound. You should come to Jamaica and see what we go through. I am thoroughly impressed that Kenya named a street after the great Haile Selassie. I respect him and other great African leaders including Jomo Kenyatta whom I knew through fellow reggae artiste Burning Spear," he told Word Is.
