News Update

Mstari has been busy, what with our appearance on Chanuka Dada on Ghetto Radio 89.5FM on Sunday 9th August.
Imani Woomera graciously hosted Mstari's Leon Kiptum and Maik Kwambo among other great poets on the 11th of August at the Silverbird Poets Club at The Junction .
Friday 14th August saw Project Heshima's Rhythm and Spoken at the Dass Restaurant in Westlands come back alive after a month's break...eh...Mstari's favourite venue! Dennis inkwa killed it with his piece IDP "Initials Defining people". really, it died... Maik Kwambo went all dholuo on the patrons wooing She in another rendition of his piece "She", before he redid it in crisp Queens English and of course Leon Kiptum didn't fail to dazzle Dass with "Mahogany Misery", even the odieros needed a dictionary for this.
Saturday 15th August saw Mstari's Maik "Ja Wer" Kwambo team up with the very talented afro soul group Elani to intrigue the audience at the Angaza Concert with their new track "Nakupenda Lakini". The concert held at City Hall also featured great performances from Inka, Aziza and the seasoned Sauti Sol. The concert showcased the neo Kenyan culture that is slowly but surely taking root.
Elani and Mike teamed up again at Club Afrique on Thursday 20th August to curtain raise for Eric Wainaina and his Mapinduzi Band, who are nothing short of revolutionary!
We are still not done...
Mstari's Grandmaster Masese will be launching his album with his Ritungu Afrika Band on Sunday 6th September 2009, the same date he makes an appearance on Ghetto Radio 89.5FM from 12.00pm.
We have plenty more in store..we will keep you posted...
Stay tuned...baki kama umekatiwa...
Ps. Become a friend of Mstari wa Nne on facebook, you can read some of the pieces in the notes.

THE REVOLUTION

I heard them say the revolution will not be televised whoever said that oh..they were ill advised this revolution will reach the masses it is cutting across the classes its time for us to be the leaders of the revolution you see... the revolution's here..no matter what they say as we change the world..they cannot block the way they will fight us..spite us...but we will carry the day we are changing the world..they cannot stand in the way like Luda says its time for them to "get out the way" this is a revolution for the disillusioned youth let down by leaders who are so uncouth they specialize in lies..they are alien to the truth that's why when they're faced with the truth they cannot handle the truth with extreme precision...they've mastered indecision making incisions into our hearts without inhibition selfishly in pursuit of their dreams and ambition they are trying to mess up with our beautiful vision but this revolution is coming to fruition we are tired of the conniving and the contradiction we long for the days when we were served with conviction when honesty was such a sweet addiction when systems worked in sync...without contradiction when we mingled freely...without fear of eviction this revolution is not only political it should touch every part of our life...that is critical because change starts within...let us not be hypocritical if I can change...if you can change...the world would be less cynical that's a true revolution...a revolution that's clinical a revolution that preaches integrity... a revolution that teaches us how to respect humanity a revolution that says no to impish unity impunity...disunity a revolution that promotes a harmonious community I heard them say the revolution will not be televised but it don't have to... the revolution is happening right here...right now Mstari Wa Nne/Maik Kwambo © 2009
