P-UNIT MAKES EAST AFRICA PROUD AT CHANNEL O AWARDS (CHOAMVA)
The win was a huge relief for East African music as a whole as
other nominees including Kenyans: Sauti Sol, STL, Victoria Kimani and Xtatic
did not get any award. This year’s CHOAMVA was largely dominated by West &
Southern African artistes. Only Victoria Kimani from Kenya performed her song
“Mtoto” in the list of performers that included Cassper Nyovest featuring
Okmalumkooklat, Burna Boy, The Soil, Khuli Chana, Buffalo Souljah, Wizkid, Aka
featuring Da L.E.S., KCee, Lizha James and Mafikizolo
The biggest category at the Channel O Africa Music Video Awards
is always the Most Gifted Video of the Year which this year featured a massive
12 nominees. In the end it was Wizkid who triumphed with “Azonto”, marking yet
another big moment in the career of the Nigerian star.

The 2013 Channel O Africa Music Video AwardsTHROUGH THE LENS OF NAIROBI’S PHOTOGRAPHERS- GEORGINA GOODWIN
Georgina Goodwin (Photojournalism)
Georgina has no qualms about picking the camera and plunging in
the thick of things; from skirmishes in the city to documentaries in the
remotest African heartlands. “I have always loved taking photographs and
started feeling the need to consistently take images when I sailed the
Indian Ocean in 2003-2004,” says the freelancer of her beginnings. Passion
soon grew to accolades when she bagged two awards at the Wildlife
Photographer of the Year in Kenya (2005).
From then on she took photography seriously enough to
immortalize critical moments of recent Kenyan history: the 2007/8 Post Election
Violence; the Occupy Parliament demonstrations; and most recently, the Westgate
Attack in 2013. She’s currently immersed in a project with a UK Charity,
Emerging Leaders, on rape at Mugumoini slum village at the fringes of Kibera in
Southlands, Langata. The project aims to impart life skills training on
disadvantaged communities withno aid and little government support. “I never
stop striving every time I press the shutter to find ways to make it
different; finding the angles, the light, and the emotional element that
will make it even just a little different,” she emphasizes. “I’m always
striving to take award-winning images.”
