I only smile when people dismiss her . It means they are underestimating her (which is a good thing.) It has already been demonstrated in this day and age , don't underestimate anyone.

Just A Band working on new album.

Image
from their facebook Just A Band - Back in the Studio! Our house is abuzz once more - we're back in the studio to record our second album - which will be titled 82. If you're wondering why it'll be called 82, it's because 1982 was an extremely good year. Sample this: March 10th - Syzygy, all 9 planets aligned on the same side of the Sun. July 6 - the longest lunar eclipse of the 20th century occurs (umbral duration 236min). August 17 - The first compact discs (CDs) are released to the public in Germany.

Video: P4CM Live Discussion

Here's new video from Passion 4 Christ Ministries . I know some may think these videos are "too radical" or even "offensive." But you have to learn to appreciate radical sometimes. Any basic reading of The Gospels shows that Jesus Himself was undeniably a "radical." Why do you think they were trying to and eventually succeeded in killing Him? Description: This shirt is breaking the silence on a lifestyle that is growing in popularity. From Katy Perry's hit song," I Kissed A Girl", to the popular TV show, "Queer As Folk". Our culture tells us that it's perfectly fine to like both males and females, but the Bible has a totally different perspective.

Music Seen! Muthoni Ndonga - Mambo Bado

Image
Mambo Bado is the debut album from Kenyan singer Muthoni Ndonga. Released in 2008 this short afro-fusion album seems to be an introductory piece to what Muthoni has in store for us later. And a commendable effort it is, even if it only contains three original songs(the last one is a remix.) Starting off with “Cool Waters’ Muthoni makes her introduction on a powerful, heartfelt and might I add very relevant note. “Cool Waters” is a song any Kenyan that survived through the 2008 post election violence can relate to. Kenya was once largely known as a bastion of relative peace amidst an unstable and war ravaged continent. But after 2008 that image was completely shattered when a side most Kenyans never knew existed was unleashed. This left many Kenyans questioning themselves, their countrymen and of course their leaders. “Cool Waters” speaks specifically about Nairobi, a place named by the Maasai and which used to be a place of calm, and tranquility. A place where Maasai livestock could e...

Music Seen! Just A Band - Scratch to Reveal

Image
Out of the left-field in 2008 emerged an electronic, slash funk, slash “local” group on the Kenyan music scene. If you have not heard of them by now they are just a band. No really, their name is Just A Band . But a typical Kenyan music group they are not! At a time when kapuka is almost becoming a dirty word (to me at least) Just-A-Band come as a welcome relief to the same old drab commercial urban songs and lyrics that have hyper-saturated Kenyan radio. With song after song saying virtually the same things ( parteh, katika, wika, ruka ) one is really left wondering, are there any Kenyans who think outside the box and try to be daring? It is quite sad when one sees young musicians with so much talent and freedom; all copying each other just to have their song get spins on the radio. I first saw Just-A-Band’s music early last year as I was checking out another website. When I first saw the video for “ Maisha “ I wasn’t sure whether it was a Kenyan band. But when I checked out their o...
