LIQUIDEEP FOR BLANKETS AND WINE




South African house music duo Liquideep are set to perform in Nairobi at the Blankets and Wine show, December 18.
The South African duo is made up of singer/songwriter/producer Ziyon and DJ/producer Ryzor, and just two years after their formation they caught the attention of the South African fans with the track Fairytale.
Their list of awards includes Channel O Music Video Award for Most Gifted Dance Video and received a SAMA nomination for Song Of The Year.
Liquideep’s appeal could be put down to the originality of their culture clash between African beat and an awareness of what works on the globe’s dancefloors. But it’s also down to their ability to craft sweet and memorable songs.
Before their smash breakout debut album the distinctive Liquideep beats had already attracted remixes from big international underground names.
The duo joins other big stars who have performed at the Sunday afternoon event like Thandiswa Mazwai, Manou Gallo, Mafikizolo and Oliver Mtukudzi.
The afternoon event features outstanding afro-based bands that range from afro soul, afro-fusion, afro-jazz, ethnic, experimental and other emerging genres.

MAFIKIZOLO SING AWAY THE RAINY BLUES IN NAIROBI



South African group Mafikizolo sung away the rainy blues that threatened to stop their maiden show in Kenya during Sunday’s Blankets and Wine show in Nairobi’s Mamba Village.
The duo whose 2003 album release Kwela was a huge success, headlined this month’s edition of Blankets & Wine.



Happening every first Sunday of the month, the afternoon event features outstanding afro-based bands that range from afro soul, afro-fusion, afro-jazz, ethnic, experimental and other emerging genres.
Also performing at the twenty ninth edition of the musical extravaganza, were new local acts Aziza and the soulful Maia Von Lekkow, alongside the ever-captivating Muthoni - The Drummer Queen.



This is the third installment of the KCB Advantage sponsored series of Blankets & Wine concerts following shows in April and June that featured celebrated artists Thandiswa Mazwai and Belgium based Ivorian strummer, Manou Gallo respectively.
The event prides itself in showcasing outstanding musicians in the emerging genres of afro-based music.
Blankets & Wine has this year partnered with KCB Advantage Banking and which targets high net worth customers with offers such as a selection of accounts, discounts on mortgages and personal loans, waivers on credit cards and up to 40% discounts at select hotels, restaurants, spas and other outlets across East Africa through a partnership with Go-Places.
