SPOTLIGHT ON KENYAN MUSIC 2009


Following the highly successful 1st concert on Friday, 19th June in the Alliance Française gardens with performances from Makadem, Cheptab, Benta the Lizard and Abbi, in front of over 800 afro-fusion fans, the forthcoming concert promises even more entertainment.

The line-up includes:

Peter Wambugu, whose soulful track ‘Yatima’ (orphan) had audiences on the 2008 Spotlight national tour in Machakos, Mombasa, Lamu, Kisumu, Kakamega, Nakuru Eldoret and Meru riveted to their spot. Peter will be previewing his first solo album ‘Tunaumia’;

The Kalenjin queen Doris Chepchumba, former vocalist with the Maroon Commandos, whose song ‘Kipla’ continues to dominate many FM stations, her deep resonating voice is sure to enchant;

The Ukooflani artist Alai K who is increasingly straddling the afro-fusion terrain with his unique blend of Kiswahili afro-soul;

and the sensational Achien’g Abura, singer, composer and pianist and Kenya’s leading afro-jazz artiste, whose signature powerful voice will team up with the above artists for a couple of original compositions not to be missed.
