::Kenya Christian::

I love you East Africa! Here is to hoping this Common Market works this time round, lets not dwell on the mistakes and politics of the 70's. It's a shame East Africans seem so apathetic about this, as for me I am very, very excited about this. I love when my people unite for our common good, we can do this people! Stop with the fear-mongering, "our economy can't compete, we will be flooded with substandard goods, we will lose jobs." yadda, yadda, yadda..  Don't let your fears hold us back, black people we need to start believing we can do things and not waiting for The Man to help us. To all the people who have worked on the EAC thing, good job, there is still a long way to go, but we are taking small steps. This blog vehemently rejects anyone trying to hold back the unity of East Africans. I also believe in a United States of Africa, and I support Gaddafi's efforts to make this happen. You know Africans can be so behind the curve sometimes. Gaddafi...

No, no I didn't get an interview with Lauryn Hill , I wish..lol. She was recently interviewed on NPR's "All Things Considered" by Zoe Chac e. She seems to be making a quiet comeback onto the scene. She will be an artist on this year's R ock the Bells tour. Listen to interview here .   Also read here P.S As a hiphop fan I think Lauryn Hill is top 5 rappers ever. She is/was just an amazing lyricist.

A poem by Janette Whoever said Christian poetry is wack...you don't know what you're missing. Lyricist Lounge is organized by P4CM and is becoming big. I'm sure something similar and as popular can be done here in Kenya. I know there are already events as Mad Love , keep doing what you're doing!

The first; vrb, n, Techno Sufurias! Where basic meets epic. For centuries women have been bringing us together through food. The sufuria, an instrument of genius that withstands heat and converts the rawest forms into a feast. The most accessible and basic form of technology that shall continue to provide fuel to those in need. Techno sufurias is an expressive blend born of confusion and gratitude for all the basic and epic things that technology has brought us. Music is our fuel, and we have prepared a musical feast. Welcome to the next frontier. Date: June 26th, 2010 Venue: Nondies Rugby Club Time: 8:00pm till late Entrance: Ksh400
